Jailbird - Jim White
Poetic and moving, it's what I would say if I were a great song writer like Jim White.
The Bones of You - Elbow
I have a visceral response to this song. These guys are amazing and lyrically so descriptive.
Don't You Know - The Sleepy Jackson
Like a punch to the gut.
Sugar Pill - Ambulance Ltd.
Carry Me Ohio - Sun Kil Moon
Nevermind that Mark Kozelek and I both from Ohio. Forget it that, until recently, we both were living in San Francisco. Let's not talk about the time he threw up on my kitchen floor years before I lived in that apartment, or so I'm told.
He is a genius.
Genius, I tell you.
He is a genius.
Genius, I tell you.
Upward Over the Mountain - Iron and Wine
Pick a favorite Iron and Wine song? Impossible.
A Case of You - Diana Krall
I consider it blasphemy to redo the songs of certain artists. Normally Joni Mitchell would be one of them. This was from a tribute concert where all of the artists did fabulous things with her music but this one? Oh, this one was the very best.
Charlotte Sometimes - The Cure
Based on a book by the same name. After Disintegration The Cure lost me.
Skin Trade - Duran Duran
My love for them will never, ever die. All of their songs are favorites.
Be Not Afraid
A Cathloic hymn, yes. I cry in church whenever we sing this.
Bonus: Ave Maria does the same thing to me. The first time I heard the Miami University mens glee club sing this I had to leave. I couldn't remotely hold my shit together.
4 Lovies:
omg. I am SO out of it. I have only ever heard of the last three. Thanks for sharing the list. This was such a fun listicle!
Wow I'd never heard of any of them but now can't wait to add them to my playlist! Thanks!
"Disintigration is the best album ever!"
A quote from South Park... and the truth.
I have 50 5 of your list on my Pandora radio station. Love it!! How's NY treating you?
