anything with art garfunkel singing in it...bridge over troubled water, scarborough fair/canticle, the boxer, a most peculiar man, wednesday morning 3 AM. The last two are two of the saddest songs of all time...

* Julia- The Beatles
* 90-Mile Water Wall- The National
* The Luckiest- Ben Folds
* The Killing Moon- Echo & the Bunnymen, but Nouvelle Vague's cover is also gorgeous
* I Wish I Was the Moon & Porchlight- Neko Case
* The Wind- Cat Stevens
* River- Joni Mitchell
* Wing- Patti Smith
* Wicked Little Town- from Hedwig & the Angry Inch
* I Know- Fiona Apple (that note she hits at the end brings a tear to my eye EVERY TIME)
* We Are Nowhere and It's Now- Bright Eyes w/ Emmylou Harris (one of the best & most beautifully written songs I've ever heard)
* Somewhere Over the Rainbow- Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
* Beauty And The Beast- Stevie Nicks (no, it's not a cover)
* Little Trip to Heaven- Tom Waits
* So Much Beauty in Dirt- Modest Mouse (short n' sweet)
* Falling- Mindy Smith
* Heaven Adores You- Earlimart
