songs for my love

per request, Bub, here is my playlist for my love:



Avalon (Roxy Music)--this is Our song. It is necessary for us to dance to this whenever we hear it. Beware shoppers. This comes on a lot in the grocery.



Harvest Moon (Neil Young)--we fell in love in the fall and we both love this song. When it came time to paint our first baby's room, we wanted it to be perfect. We played Neil Young all night while we stenciled falling leaves on his walls.



Here Comes your Man (Pixies)--I always said that if we renewed our vows...which we will, in the desert somewhere...he could walk down the proverbial aisle to this. perfect! It could also be "Gigantic" because we have a big, big love.



Fragile (Sting)--he loves this song and always puts it on cd's (or tapes back*in*the*day) for me.



Perfect Blue Buildings (Counting Crows)--almost all of the songs on this album make me smile for him. We lived in Nashville during this musical period and we even met Adam Durtiz on the street. We were complete dorks as we tried to not be impressed by him. Still makes us laugh. He was reading a book and marc asked "whatcha readin?" I laughed and then said the profound "hey, we're walking with you to go see you."



In God's Country (U2)--The Joshua Tree is always our out west soundtrack. As we traverse the desolate highways and dirt roads to get to whichever gulch, river or canyon we are excited to hike, we listen to this ans smile. "Desert sky. Dreamed beneath the desert sky..."



#41 (Dave Matthews Band)--sighh



The Scientist (Coldplay)--because I would do it all over again...go back to the start



When the Stars Go Blue (Ryan Adams)

Into Dust (Mazzy Starr)

The Luckiest (Ben Folds)--because I am

Take this Rain (Jackson Browne)--because he can always make everything better

Snow (Gustavo Santaollala)--just does

These are days (10,000 Maniacs)

Charlotte Sometimes (The Cure)

The Power of Love (Frankie Goes to Hollywood)

why no postings?


It is nice to know that people actually care about my postings. You know that saying "if you don't have anything nice to say.."? It seems like the phone keeps ringing with bad news. I can't post that on a blog about good things, right? In my prayers right now: the Hansen family, the Hudnall/Haygood family, the Golobic family and the Kenner family. good thoughts. good thoughts. good thoughts.
