Ehm...Ten are few,but that's ok,this is what my soul suggests!

Here are ten of my favourite songs, in no particular order, and i could easily add 100 more[img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img]





Eels – Guest list (first song I could identify myself with,
not being on most peoples guest list)


Madrugada – Nightly disease Prt I (I can hear this over and
over and over again, I love the voice of sivert hoyem, nice and dark)






Damien Rice – Cold water (Goosebumps when I saw the St Luke’s
version)


dEUS – Hotel lounge (great melody, good classic lyrics and
even the frames played it [img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img])






Counting Crows – Round here (powerful song with great
lyrics)


The Veils – Nowhere man (shivers down my spine at a concert
from them when the singer climbed up the speakers (a few meters up) with his
guitar playing this song solo in a spotlight)






Tom McRae – Boy with the bubble gun (even at the back of a
tent it was soooo good)


Tindersticks - The not knowing (last song on their first
album which will leave you specahless after 20 other songs)






Jeff Buckley – Lover, you should have come over (memorable
lyrics ‘And maybe I'm too young, To keep good love from going wrong’)


Ryan Adams – Harder now that it’s over (from Gold, a cd that
I can’t live without, I forgot to take it with me on my intern and I just
bought it again)




Birgit – Lover (reminds me of the first concert with my
first girlfriend, all sweaty[img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img])

i don't know if i could come up with ten...

joanna newsom - en gallop
"and i go where the trees go
and i walk from a higher education
(for now, and for hire)"

the dismemberment plan - spider in the snow
"you thought you just might need a little change
and now you find you got nothing but.
how can a body move the speed of light
and still find itself in such a rut?

mason jennings - confidant
"i've been overwhelmed
by what lies up ahead."

at this exact moment in time, the only thing that seems to matter about me is how much i hate the idea of everything being in flux. it's the absolute worst feeling in the world for me. hence the selections. hopefully my introduction will be a bit more chipper soon.

although on a side note i really wish that the decemberists - red right ankle would be a good introductory song. i love it.

2) The Blowers Daughter, Damo
3) Still i See Monsters, Ryan Adams
4) Raning in Baltimore, Counting Crows
5) Take me out, Franz Ferdinand

8) The Boxer, Simon and Garfunkel
9) The Theme Song from the Gladiator, Hans Zimmer & Lisa Gerrard.( its also the piece of music when he is walking throughh the field twoards his dead family at the end.)
