| (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.. |

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." |
