1 - This song always makes me feel better. I think some of it has to do with how rare the sun is to us Seattleites.
2 - The more and more I listen to this song, the more I realize that it is genius. Just listen to the way the timpani are used.
3 - Eva Cassidy is one of those that died too young. If you don't know her, I'd recommend checking her out.
4 - This is another band to check out. I feel kind of girly listening to them sometimes, but I'm ok with that.
5 - Originally recorded for the 1969 Italian film La Legge dei Gangsters, I first heard it in Ocean's 12. So, in other words, you've probably heard it too.
6 - This is the romantic in me speaking.
7 - Probably the most patriotic song, EVER.
8 - Doesn't this just make you feel 5 levels lower on the stress meter?
9 - Seriously. One of the greatest songs ever. If I were only half as cool as Marvin Gaye...

I'd say I have heard at least 50% of that list in the last month. 8 hours of music a day at work helps. Also, No Woman No Cry is playing on my speakers as I was reading your post.
Dave... I'd say you ARE half as cool as Marvin Gaye.
