List five songs that you are currently digging ... it doesn't matter what genre they are from, whether they have words or even if they're any good but they must be songs you're really enjoying right now. Post these instructions, the artist and the song in your blog along with your five songs. Then tag five other people to see what they're listening to.


1."The Promise"- Tracy Chapman- I have always loved this song and found it angstily appropriate when I was writing A/O post "Loss"

2."Southern Cross"-CSNY- a reminder of good times when I was in highschool

3."Iowa"- Dar Williams- I saw her perform a couple years ago and fell in love with her work.

4."Sounds of Silence"-Simon & Garfunkle- just because, except I can't find my cd, so if any of you have it, I would like it back please. Now!

5."Canon in D"-Pachelbel-makes me want to drive 100 mph on a curvy road with my windows down and sun roof open. Naked.


I tag: all of you-anyone that feels like sharing whether you have already or not.

Dar!

I love and adore Dar. So much. And I love "Iowa." You have great taste. When you saw her perform, did she make the audience sing the chorus, or does she only do that with easily-taken-advantage-of college kids? Mmmm, "Iowa."

Take good care of your back!

When I saw her two years ago, she was doing an acoustic tour with Mary Chapin Carpenter, Shawn Colvin and Patty Griffin. All four of them sat on stage and told stories about the songs they had written and then sang them. For their final encore, they did an a capella version of Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way"...it rocked! I've been searching for a tour cd/dvd since.

And yes, we sang the chorus :)
