The following songs are a few of my favorites. Each really struck a chord in me, epecially "Where've You Been?" and "Standing Knee Deep in a River Dying of Thirst" by Kathy Mattea -- one of the most beautiful and underrated voices ever. As an aside: Joe Cocker also recorded an AMAZING version of "Standing Knee Deep ..." It's on YouTube. I highly urge you to look it up.
"Where've You Been"
"Standing Knee Deep in a River, Dying of Thirst"
"Catch the Wind" Donovan (yes, Bob Dylan also recorded a fantastic version of this tune ... but THIS is the original. Still moving, despite being pimped out for commercial purposes)
"Waiting in Vain" -- Annie Lennox, from the movie Serendipity. Great movie, great song and considering recent events in my life, very relevant.
Maybe it is the writer in me, but I find myself most attracted to music -- of all genres -- that "says" something, rather than music that simply has a decent beat. Hope you enjoyed these.
