I wanna settle down Baby there's no need to run I'll love you well

Favorite: Dance
Artist: Kimbra
Song of the day: Settle Down


Also reflecting on a year of songs, my favorite discovery was learning to embrace my dance and love of dance music. Amidst the empty beats and excessive electronica to cover up bad singing, certain artists out there have taken the club sound into their own creative hands and made it a genre worth reckoning with and if you don't believe me check out Robyn and her Grammy nominated self on SNL tonight. As a music listener known for her enjoyment of the darker mood side, it's always a happy surprise to discover a tune that I can't help busting a move to every time it comes on. This happened when discovering Kimbra and today's song. The mere beginning "boom bas" bring a smile to my face and my shoulder's can't be stopped once the clapping chime's in (as we know I'm a sucker for a good clap!). And any artist that can turn the female obsession of settling down into a little girl dance off just might be a genius and at the very least became my hero while dancing as scary dolls are being set on fire. I can't even grasp all the symbolism but my phobia of doll heads appreciates it. That is why I love dance and dance songs, they can be about anything, happy, sad, frustrating, excited why limits these emotions to just one genre? When you can settle down with dance.



I wanna settle down
I wanna settle down
Won't you settle down with me?
Settle down

We can settle at a table..
A table for two
Won't you wine and dine with me?
Settle down

I wanna raise a child
I wanna raise a child
Won't you raise a child with me...
Raise a child

We'll call her Nebraska
Nebraska Jones
She'll have your nose
Just so you know

I wanna settle down
I wanna settle down
Won't you settle down with me?
Settle down

Run from Angela Vickers
I saw her with you
Monday morning small talking on the avenue
She's got a fancy car
She wants to take you far
From the city lights and sounds deep into the dark

Star so light and star so bright
First star i see tonight!
Star so light and star so bright
Keep him by side!

I wanna settle down
I wanna settle down
Baby there's no need to run
I'll love you well
I wanna settle down
It's time to bring you down
On just one knee for now
Lets make our vows
