and this is one of my favorite songs from my youth.

go around flashing peace signs and hugging everybody, then nothing will...:hippie:

12. If I Had A Boat by Lyle Lovett
I would say Hallelujah by L Cohen but everyone likes that one already.
If I Had A Boat is really sweet too and twangy and it makes me laugh every time :D

So damned sad and yet peaceful. Everything from Kind of Blue is trance-worthy.

31. Hi Crew! Nice to hear from you. Whiter Shade of Pale is a very peace-inducing song
It reminds me of The Big Chill, which is very appropriate for me and my wife right now. Thanks for sending it!

30. Ya know what's sad ...

In today's music market, no matter how good the song or the voice, he'd never be allowed to make a record. Not pretty enough.

And people wonder why I'm stuck liking music that was written mostly before I was born or when I was really young.

I love that song, btw ... hadn't heard it in awhile. Thanks.

29. Morcheeba, 'The Sea'
http://youtube.com/watch?v=VnCS25z18pI

The sea

Flocking to the sea
Crowds of people wait for me
Sea gulls scavenge
Steal ice cream
Worries vanish
Within my dream

I left my soul there,
Down by the sea
I lost control here
Living free

I left my soul there,
Down by the sea
I lost control here
Living free

Fishing boats sail past the shore
No singing may-day any more
The sun is shining
The Water's clear
Just you and I walk along the pier

I left my soul there,
Down by the sea
I lost control here
Living free

I left my soul there,
Down by the sea
I lost control here
Living free

A cool breeze flows but mind the wasp
Some get stung it's worth the cost
I'd love to stay
The city calls me home
More hassles fuss and lies on the phone

I left my soul there,
Down by the sea
I lost control here
Living free

I left my soul there,
Down by the sea
I lost control here
Living free

I left my soul there,
Down by the sea
I lost control here
Living free

I left my soul there,
Down by the sea
I lost control with you,
And living, living,
And I, living, by the sea

33. Now that you mention it, Sailing is a
very peaceful song. Great choice.

Being the consummate Joan Jett fan that I am, I would pick, "Outlaw."
