Going Somewhere: Colin Hay
If you listen to Colin Hay, you may find yourself wondering where you've heard that voice before. He was the lead singer for Men at Work. Now he's the mellow lead singer of his own, much-less-well-known band. His new style is much more introspective, and it still speaks to me as much as "I come from a land down under" ever did.

Beautifully somber song. I guess the best I could characterize Bonnie Prince Billy's music is alternative folk. Contemplative, beautiful songs of loneliness and love and hardship.

This is one of my adult contemporary indulgences. Oleta Adams has one of the best voices of the last few decades! Oh yeah, I said it. Just listen to this song. The woman's depth and range are phenomenal. I love this song.

So, I remember the video for this song that was used in the Sean Penn and Christopher Walken movie At Close Range. I was 9 at the time and remember being moved by the intensity of both actors and wanting to see it. Well, its 23 years later and I STILL HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE! What is my problem?! Anyprocrastination, this song is great!

This classic makes me misty. It makes me get all sentimental and think about how we're all just trying to do the best with what we've got. Sigh.

Now Desperado is already a pretty weepy song about a loner. But when a 10 year old girl sings it with the accompaniment of a piano, well its a weeper. Get your hanky.

I first heard this moody song at the end of the movie Sunshine. I thought it was Willie Nelson collaborating with some band. Turns out it's I Am Kloot. I am liking this song. In heavy rotation on my playlist.

There's a live version of this song where it starts with Stevie Nicks saying "This one's for you, Daddy". And that's when I fall to the floor and start convulsing and crying. Beautiful song.

Good grief! This song is good. I guess I'd classify David Poe as Indie Pop. This slow song is tender and sweet.

This song use to make a wet liquid come out of my eyes when I was a child. I think they call them "tears". Anyways, I still get a little misty.

I like Coldplay, but the fact that they've been shoved down my throat so much makes me pull away. This song off Parachutes is one of my favorites still. Luckily we haven't been beaten over the head with this one.

A delicately optimistic and mundane song by music virtuoso Conor Oberst. A really song to start the day.

This somber song is currently in heavy rotation on my playlist. The piano accompaniment is tender and Eno's voice really zones me out in a relaxing way.

This song pulls and pulls and pulls at the core of my very being. It IS simply beautiful. (This would make a great wedding song).

I admire Sinead O'Connor. She's got a fire and ferocity in her spirit and does her own thing passionately. This song demonstrates all those qualities. Awesome song about lost love. Hey, sometimes it just doesn't work out.

Wonderful song whose transcendent beauty and poignance is intensified by the fact that Mr. Buckley tragically left us way too soon.

Garrrghh. My cold heart can't take it. If you're by yourself on a rainy day, wandering the streets feeling utterly alone, don't listen to this song. It's quiet, beautiful and contemplative song.

This song moves me. It makes my heart swell with joy and collapse with sadness all in three minutes. And that's what I consider brilliance.

People either love or hate Tom Waits. Maybe it has to do with the fact that he sounds like he gargles shards glass every morning. This song is amazing. The contrast of his signature gravelly voice combined with this touching song ... People either love or hate Tom Waits.
