My favourite songs

Last update: 07/10/02

(My very favourite song at the moment is "Anyone Of Us" by Gareth Gates, actually. Kinda embarassing, I know. But I love it... LMAO)

01. Fire On The Side - Y Kant Tori Read

 

Comment: As a huge fan of Tori Amos I recently came across an album by her recorded back in 1987. On it there was this great song which I immediately fell in love with. Although Tori kinda hates these songs of her YKTR-days, which remind her of a very hard time in her life, I would say it`s the best song she`s ever done...

 
02. Wichita Skyline - Shawn Colvin  
Comment: We were going to Spain in March. When I was packing my things for the journey I thought: You can forget everything now but DON`T FORGET the Shawn Colvin-CD. During the flight I was listening to this song again and again... it`s just stunning.  
03. London Rain - Heather Nova  
Comment: This one has been my very favourite song for years and it also made me become a fan of Heather, who I still am. It`s exactly four years ago when I heard the song for the first time and you see, I still love it....  
04. Haunted - Poe  
Comment: A couple of months ago a friend from the USA told me, she bought an album by a singer called Poe who nobody has ever really heard of. She said: "Listen to it! You will just love it." So I did, and I can tell you.... I was so amazed that I immediately bought it myself. Now it`s one of my favourites. The song "Haunted" is probably the best one, it just gives me shivers down my back... a little sinister, to be honest. It`ll definitely put a spell on you, I promise...  
05. The Boxer - Simon & Garfunkel  
Comment: You probabaly think I must be kidding. This is a song which was played New Year`s Eve and everybody was singing along. Since then I can`t stop listening to it.  
06. Parìs - La Oreja De Van Gogh  
Comment: Every time I listen to this (spanish) band I start to wonder why this wonderful band isn`t promoted around here because their music should be appealing to everyone. And everytime I suggest this band to anybody they say: "I just love it, who is it?" La Oreja De Van Gogh is definitely my favourite band of all time. And if I should ever be left on a desert island it should be with this song.  
07. Wild - Poe  
Comment: "Wild" is one of the longest songs I know. It`s more than 9 minutes long but it has one of the most beautfiul melodies I`ve ever heard.  
08. Sunny Came Home - Shawn Colvin  
Comment: This is a song which I love to hear Sunday mornings before I get up. I think it just fits perfectly.
09. Run Out Of Road - Jewel  
Comment: Spain again. This was a song that came to my mind when we were on our way to the airport to fly back again... I was a quite long trip very early in the morning.. ("It`s leaving time again..." ...)  
10. Rattlesnakes - Tori Amos  
Comment: It seems as if Lloyd Cole wrote this song especially for her. These lyrics are the (second) best that I`ve ever heard (right after "Real Men" by Joe Jackson)....  
11. Fate Stay With Me - Alanis Morissette  
Comment: This is a song Alanis recorded when she was 11, I think. It sounds very untypical for her. But it`s better than the pop stuff she did later on in 1991. I like it... it`s kinda funny..  
12. On The Boundary - Y Kant Tori Read

13. The Rebels - The Cranberries

14. Cuidate - La Oreja De Van Gogh

15. Ojos Asi - Shakira

16. Heart And Shoulder - Heather Nova

17. Snow On The Sahara - Anggun  
Comment: This song reminds me of when I was in Spain back in 1999 where we had to spend a night in a completely different hotel which we hadn`t booked. Frustratedly I listened to this song over and over again. That day I really felt "lost out in the desert."
