actually- if I had to pick ONE song someone should hear I'd go with Scarborough Fair (Simon & Garfunkel version)

has lasted 40+ years and still gives me chills

Great song! Good choice, Medic.

Okay, now that today's another day, I get to pick a new song, and only one this time, not the six or eight or however many I gave last time.

Rufus Wainwright - "In a Graveyard", it's short, but I love it.

Seal.....Kissed by a Rose.

I don't know why, but I love Effington by Ben Folds of his newest album. I think the beginning should be Charleston Southern's fight song.

I ABSOLUTELY loved "Brick" by Ben Folds Five. I had forgotten about them.

You do know that Brick is a song about a teenage couple having an abortion, right?

[SuperJon]

It's still a great song.

[adam42381]

It's still a great song.

Agreed, I just wanted to make sure he knew the meaning behind the catchy tune.

So SJ, your one of the ones who "ignores the lyrics"? haha

It's not saying that abortion is ok. It's talking about a life experience.

Up the stairs to the apartment
She is balled up on the couch
Her mom and dad went down to Charlotte
They're not home to find us out
And we drive
Now that I have found someone
I'm feeling more alone
Than I ever have before

They call her name at 7:30
I pace around the parking lot
Then I walk down to buy her flowers
And sell some gifts that I got
Can't you see
It's not me you're dying for
Now she's feeling more alone
Than she ever has before

As weeks went by
It showed that she was not fine
They told me son, it's time to tell the truth

She broke down, and I broke down
Cause I was tired of lying

Driving home to her apartment
For a moment we're alone
Yeah she's alone
I'm alone
Now I know it

Nowhere in there does it glorify an abortion. It's basically the exact opposite.

the stuff after ben fold five is so much better in my opinion...you should really check it out!

[SuperJon]

Ha, Brick just came up on Pandora for me.

[adam42381]

It's definitely not glorifying abortion but I don't think it's really taking a stance either way. Ben's and his girlfriend from high school had an abortion and the song is about that experience.

[SuperJon]

I agree. He doesn't say it's ok, he doesn't say it isn't ok. He is saying this is what we did and this is how I felt after.

right now i'm dominating some dream theater....

If I had to pick one song that I wanted everyone to hear, it would be "The Best I Have To Offer" by Three Cord Wonder, a band that unfortunately is no longer together. It was the first song I ever played on my podcast, and has become a sort of theme song of mine. The song (and that whole album, for that matter) is available for free download at their website.

"Will anybody understand it?
Well, I don't know.
Will anybody want to listen?
Well, I don't know.
Will anybody get the message?
Only God knows.
No more questions, please -
This is the best I have to offer."

I love the story behind that song.

[SuperJon]

Heard the story and the song for the first time in church Sunday.

[Sly Fox]

I've heard the song several times but don't know the backstory. Do share.

"Corduroy" by Pearl Jam

Nice choice although I'd probably go with Immortality or Nothingman if I was choosing a song off Vitalogy.

[Sly Fox]

Thanks, TD.

I figured that you would the PJ selection

Went with that one because I think everyone can relate with it at some point in their life (although on a much smaller scale). It was hard to choose just one song from their catalog though....
