Marry Song - Band of Horses
“Lucky ones are we all ‘til it is over.”
Runaway - The National
Current obsession.
The Door Was Always Open - Joe Pug
The bridge of this song is sublime. Not sure Pug’s first full-length album can top the raw awesome of his Nation of Heat EP, but this song is a good start.
You Can Never Hold Back Spring - Tom Waits
Here’s to a great new year!
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas - John Denver & Rowlf
This is maybe my favorite version of any Christmas song ever. For some reason, it’s left off the CD edition I have of A Christmas Together (as is Little Saint Nick by the Electric Mayhem!) so I had to buy the mp3.
I love Rowlf.
Wavin’ Flag - K’naan
By the Christmas Tree - Jeff Pianki
Stay All Night (Stay a Little Longer) - Willie Nelson
Michael Jackson - Will You Be There
I was sick in bed for most of the news and hubbub about MJ’s death, but I wanted to share one of my favorite of his songs. It pains me that this song is associated with that movie (I can’t even say its name) in so many people’s minds because the song is so much more than that. It’s about laying down your burdens and being humble enough to ask for help. Rest in peace, Michael. I hope your burden is light.
