Talking about songs led to the inevitable conversation about 'seduction' songs and the best songs for it. It was decided that rather than overt sexuality, seduction music should be sensual--a kiss that lightly brushes your lips. Like any good orchestration, it should start out slowly and crescendo...
Sweet Jane (Cowboy Junkies -- Natural Born Killers Intro)
Fade Into You (Mazzy Star)
As Long As You’re Mine* (Wicked)
Possession (Sarah McLachlan)
Release (Pearl Jam)
*It is the urgency that makes this song good, but it needs to be stripped of the orchestra / stage feel and instead was accompanied by simple instruments.
Side Note: I kept thinking that there was a seductive Dave Matthews song (which seemed to be completely oxy-moronic). I knew it wasn’t Crash, because that was a bit blatant. Natalie thought I was crazy. I remembered it this morning: “Lover Lay Down.” Now, if we could just get Bono to sing it….
