A favorite song really depends on my mood of the moment and what's on my CD player, or who's on stage. I am fortunate to work in an environment where a variety of exceptional live acoustic music is performed by artists from around the eastern United States. A song may touch me deeply in some way, just for the time it's being played, and in that moment, become my favorite -- may even remain so for a while. Within the last couple of days, I've discovered an Australian artist, Kasey Chambers, and have been playing her first album, "The Captain," over and over. She has a beautiful little tune on the CD called "This Flower," and it's most certainly my favorite song right now. But still, in the long run... what's my most enduring favorite song? I guess I'd have to say there are two: "Paperback Writer" (The Beatles) - I honestly feel this may be the "most perfect" pop song ever recorded. "Sympathy for the Devil" (The Rolling Stones) - Topical, intense, smokin' -- with a lead guitar break that still sends chills down my spine.

The International sung by the Red Army Choir The opening song of the movie "South Park" Mama (when it's sung by Pavarotti). :p :p :p No-one but me knows whether I'm being serious or not :)

That's so hard! Like Rosicrux said, they change with my moods! A song I have listen to a million times never got sick of is "Le Femme D'Argent" by Air. It is a song that picks you up, makes you fly and leaves you floating in space... Other favourite songs for this moment are: "Gabriel" by Lamb, "Sound Check (Gravity)" by Gorillaz "I've Seen it All" by Bjork The list could go on... I am in a quiet, late night mood and I think these songs reflect that... ~ :cool: K a y n e ~

A selection...I also vary on mood... Auto Pilot.....Queens of the Stone Age Grace....Jeff Buckley Watching You...Velvet Chain Come Together In The Morning...Free Me Gustas Tu....Manu Chao Denia....Manu Chao Pastoral Symphony...Beethoven. Goldwatch Blues....Donovan Leitch to name but a few... Malachite

truthsayer	08 Mar 2002
it really varies but i tend to like quiet music, musicals, and i usually go by artists except for a few: adaggio for strings by samuel butler--it was the theme music from the movie "platoon" and just gives me chills paschabels' canon--just a relaxing romantic piece lara's theme from dr. zhivago memories from the musical Cats! (in fact i love the whole recording and original poetry by ts eliot but i also love cats!) music from the opera carmen--particularly march of the toreadors everything jewel does everything john denver did about everything the eagles did the wall album by pink floyd hell's bells by ACDC (the church bells at the beginning are so spooky) loreena mckinnet enya yanni kitaro paul winter--his "december" album is my fav susan ciani particularly the tune--the velocity of love some tori amos some madona rod stewart's "i don't want to talk about it"--just makes me bawl almost everything by the rolling stones but particularly "you can't always have have what you want" and "miss you" sarah mclaughlin--another i haven't heard anything i disliked city of angels--music from the movie the theme song from the new star trek series Enterprize bob segar simon and garfunkle particularly "the sounds of silence", bridge over troubled water and "homeward bound" "stairway to heaven" by led zeppelin gee and that's not all of them! have to stop somewhere! :)

As with others, my favorite songs differ with my mood but my all time favorite song is "Time" by Pink Floyd. For the past...I've lost count now..but many years on New Years Eve, where ever I am , I make sure that that is the first song I hear after the new year has come. It is a song that always makes me realize, hey..time is ticking away, better do all those things you want to do before its too late. I have made some major decisions in my life listening to that song: Deciding to get a divorce, deciding to go back to college, deciding to ask my now husband to marry me. That song makes me cry, it makes me smile. Its my favorite song. blessings, Moon

raeanne	09 Mar 2002
Well, when did I get old? I don't even want to type my list 'cause you would all die of laughter and then I wouldn't have anyone to talk to! Just remember - it will happen to you too, someday! he, he, he

aciddragon	09 Mar 2002
I like almost everything. From 50's-90's. Classical, Country, New Age, Metal, Old Rock, Rap...And all those other crazy categories that they made up. My thing is as long as it sound good and has a rhythm. What I hate is Cop killer crap or ganger stuff. You can burn it in my book. Well that's my 2 cents worth.

tempestfire	10 Mar 2002
I have tooooo many fav's. Much depends on my mood. Currently listening to Loreena McKennet. Don't laugh (much) when I tell you that my taste is all over the place! Metallica (S&M CD) and Unforgiven 2 Enya Beethoven and other classical Old folk music Celtic music Seven Mary Three Ozzy (He has an awesome voice when he sings) Johnny Cash (Ring of Fire/ I walk the line) The Cult the list goes on and on. As I said- It is all over the place. Oh yeah- I love the song "Yellow" but have yet to figure out who sings it. tempestfire

aciddragon	10 Mar 2002
Do you know any of the words to that song?!? If so post a line or two..Maybe someone will know it or might find it. :)

cayacia	10 Mar 2002
Wow, there are soooo many. Uh let's name some of my absolute favorites as of now (it changes as I hear more): Brilliant Dance - Dashboard Confessional The Ender Will Save Us All - also Dashboard Is it Real? - The Seatbelts (from the anime Cowboy Bebop) Goodnight Julia - also from Cowboy Bebop Tank - once again, Cowboy Bebop.....the opening theme Needs - Collective Soul Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness - Smashing Pumpkins Tonight, Tonight - Pumkins....you can't have "Mellon Collie" w/o Tonight immediatly following it Nussun Dorma - Puccini I would recomend to anyone who appreciates good orignal acoustic guitar and awsome lyrics to download or buy dashboard confessional. I would also severly recomend that anyone who likes jazz get a hold of the stuff from cowboy bebop because it is AWSOME! And it was all writen by the same woman and it's all very diverse writing...and I don't think there's much of it that is bad, either. Love to you all,

kayne	10 Mar 2002
aciddragon: 'Yellow' is by Coldplay. "It's all... yellow..." or something... cayacia: I have never heard of cowboy beebop before but it sounds interesting... I shall check it out...

tempestfire	10 Mar 2002
YEAH!!!! Thats it! That is the one! Thank you- now I can get it. Something about that song - I don't know what it is- just a good "me" song.

blumoon	10 Mar 2002
there are a few songs that make my heart and soul go nuts, but at the moment i can only think of one...How to disappear completely by Radiohead...if you listen to this song with the volume turned up high (not high enough to annoy the neighbours though :) ) and your eyes closed you will feel as if the music is completely engulfing you...thats the closest i can get to describing it...Radiohead lovers will understand what i am getting at ;)

kayne	10 Mar 2002
I'm with you blumoon! That is a brilliant song - have you seen the film clip? Beautiful, strange and haunting, just like the song (with a wierd little penguin/diver...) I just had to put this song on after reading your post...

Hush	10 Mar 2002

blumoon	11 Mar 2002
has anyone heard Runners Dial Zero from the album Mutations by Beck? that song gives me the heebee geebies, and chills down my spine to boot! :)

.dc	11 Mar 2002
shoot... i always seem to come in late on these questions. there's not really one song that can define me, or anyone i suppose. currently here's the list of songs i'd include on a burnt cd for myself. confusion... new order a mass of songs by vnv nation: --left behind --solitary --joy --rubicon (the most important one!!!) hurt/wish/something i never had... Nine Inch Nails Anger... Skinny Puppy um...yeah. and I Believe... from the Run Lola Run soundtrack. there's more and my mood always shifts but for now this seems like a good list. and yes, VNV is my most recent "favorite group". blessed be, .dc

Summerdream	11 Mar 2002
It all depends on my mood too. Although I usually tend to listen to the more mellow tunes. Some of my personal favorites are: Dreamweaver-Gary Wright (absolutely one of my all time favorites) Silent Lucidity-Queensryche (one of my most favorites too) Winds of Change-Scorpion Gypsy-Fleetwood Mac (like all their music) Dust in the Wind-Kansas Summer Breeze-Seals and Croft (My youngest daughter's name is Jasmine) Anything by Rod Stewart (He is my favorite singer of all time!) Father Figure-George Michael (song has a very personal meaning to me) the list could go on and on!

amyel	11 Mar 2002
I have a hard time choosing a fav song. My music collection is, um, eclectic (or would that be "aeclectic??), ranging from rock to jazz to world beat to show tunes (current fav is the soundtrack from "Notre-Dame de Paris") to acid jazz/nujazz/chill-out lounge (but I'm so old I call it all acid jazz, even though that's frowned upon by the clubbers of the day). Anyhoo....songs that I am pretty much guarenteed to turn up loudly include: "Burning Down the House" - Talking Heads "Enola Gay" - OMD "Kashmir" - Led Zeppelin "AM Radio" - Everclear "I Will Follow" - U2 \and pretty much anything from Truby Trio My sister reminded me that I was a rocker in my teenage years, but I grew up in Detroit area before New Wave 80's hit, so there wasn't much of a choice...:)

Mystick Dragon	13 Mar 2002
My fave songs include: Magical Dreamers- Chrono Cross Radical Dreamers ~Le Tresor Interdit~ (The Jewel That Cannot Be Stolen)- Chrono Cross The Chrono Cross Theme: Scars of Time Rinbu Revolution- Utena Angelic Creation, Namely, Light- Utena Toki Ni- Utena Flying Without Wings- o- Town I think... Just about any Savage Garden song Shakira songs Kiss Kiss- Stella Soleil And many J-pop songs! --Dragon

Hush> If you are still reading this thread - are you a fan of Serial Experiments LAIN?... Caycia> I love Cowboy Bebop! Did you catch the movie?.... Oh dear, fave song...... Couldn't really commit to *one* song or group or even type of music! In general, I like it unpredicatable... Stuff like Bjork, Tori, Tool is very sexy Stravinsky when I'm eating meat with my hands or breaking something DJ Food or John Cage or more 'cerebral' stuff for lying completely still and using up all my organic RAM Rovo or Beck or Gamalan music gets me charged up Godspeed You Black Emperor! or Radiohead sometimes Skinny Puppy make me cry about capitalism Debussy/Sigur Ros etc w/eyes closed and consciousness waning Yoko Kanno/Esthero chills the tension J-Pop in the mornings with coffee Cocteau Twins at dusk Hafler Trio after midnight Cripes, I'm sorry, I'm going to stop here before I make a complete list of my CD collection!!!

slinky_jo	13 Mar 2002
I have to share with you guys the lyrics to my favourite song of the moment. It's by a band called "Jimmy Eat World", the song's called "The Middle". I find it a really inspiring song when I'm down. I find the words really cut through to me. hey don't write yourself off yet it's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on just try your best try everything you can and don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away hey you know they're all the same you know you're doing better on your own so don't buy in live right now just be yourself it doesn't matter if that's good enough for someone else it just takes some time little girl, you're in the middle of the ride everything everything will be just fine everything everything will be all right do your best do everything you can don't you worry what their bitter hearts are going to say
