Popular songs that I really love

Most of the time, I don't really like the songs that are played on the radio, but lately there were some exceptions:

1. Ilse de Lange - Winter of love
This song catched my attention when I first heard it, because the sound is so different from other Ilse de Lange songs and even other songs on the radio, and beautiful. At first I thought it was Within Tempation or something, but better.  I've never heard a song from Ilse de Lange where she sings in such a high voice. The lyrics are poetic:
This winter of love is falling on us 
Leaving our hearts in the cold and the darkness 
Lost in a frozen dance 
Is there still life buried under the ....? 
Is there an... of us left in the black sun? 
This winter of love! 
Yes, there is still a gap in the lyrics but I couldn't find the right ones on the internet. Nonetheless, I think it's a far better description than, for example, "seven year itch".

2. Usher - More

This song is already a bit old now, but I still play it a lot. Apart from the fact that this song is really catchy and   doesn't really get boring (at least to me), I misunderstood the lyrics. I don't know why I heard "I create the villain that keeps them coming back", since "I create the feeling that keeps them coming back" makes a hell lot of more sense in my opinion. Because of that I saw this song as some kind of philosophical song about the tension of having "fans" and dissappearing in the crowd. After all, there is something narcissistic about makin use of the knowledge that people will 'always' be coming back to you.There is also the line "I'm a beast I'm an animal I'm that monster in the mirror." Misunderstood lyrics or not, for me the song is about the conflict between being yourself and be considered "boring", yet available to others and the alter ego or "villain" that is worshipped but seems unavailable and distant.

Lol! You can probably tell that I wasn't completely sober when I wrote this, can you?
