My Top 10… Songs
I noticed the other day that I often refer to something as “one of my favorite xxx ever.” At a certain point, I realized I must have 100 favorite movies and even more favorite songs. So, I challenged myself to make definitive lists of my top tens as an exercise in creative thinking.
Today, I offer you My Top Ten Songs.
- Horses – Patti Smith
I love this song because of the scene from Millenium seen in this video. The song speaks power to me. - And She Was – Talking Heads
The line, “And she was walking through the back yard,” gets to me. The fact that I hear it in David Byrne’s voice is an incredible bonus. - Me and Bobby McGee – Janis Joplin
I think I fell a little in love with Bobby McGee the first time I heard this song. - Tin Man – Schaffer the Darklord
What’s not to love? - Captain Jack – Billy Joel
This isn’t a song I should like, really, but it captures so much emotion. - To Sir with Love – LuLu
My sister considered this song for the father/daughter dance at her wedding. I’m not sure any of us have gotten through it yet without crying. - What’s Your Mama’s Name – Tanya Tucker
Ditto, this song. I love my children above all else so this song tears me apart a little. - Hallelujah – Leonard Cohen
This first time I heard this song, it captured my heart. It was played at my father’s funeral, so I don’t listen to it much anymore, but I feel every note of it. - They Don’t Know – Tracy Ullman
Paul McCartney!! Such a sweet love song. - Joey – Concrete Blonde
Haunting. That is all.
No. These are not in any real order.
Yes. They change almost daily.
