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! (via Amazon)

Description

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. (via Amazon)

ouch. This song hurts. And not in a good way, but in a lying in the fetal position and crying in the dark. Good stuff. (via Amazon)

Description

Looking for a sad ass love song? Well look no further. The master of somber, bleakness, singer/songwriter Bonnie Prince Billy has done it again. All joking aside, this song is really beautiful. (via Amazon)

Yes, here comes the flood. Just a piano and The Gabriel. A great, gushy, reflective song by the man who puts out an album every seven years. Now that's scrutiny! (via Amazon)

A weepy little ditty off Beck's Sea Change album. You know, I prefer this country/ folksy Beck over the Odelay Beck. (via Amazon)

BOB DYLAN: Not Dark Yet: MP3 Downloads

Description

This song makes me think of death. Not in a freaked out, morbid kind of way, but in a "however the wind blows, big beautiful existential sigh of resignation" kind of way. Good song. (via Amazon)
