Since I've Been Loving You - Led Zeppelin

Grace/Lover,You Should've Come Over - Jeff Buckley

How To Fight Loneliness - Wilco

Waiting On An Angel - Ben Harper

Invisibile - Cristina Donà

The Origin Of Love - Stephen Trask (from "Hedwig And The Angry Inch")

E Ti Vengo A Cercare - Franco Battiato

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])
