4. To be perfectly honest, I don't
It really depends on my mood. I was curious if others had one though.

2. Feelin' Groovy

8. Jimi Hendrix "Exp/Up From the Skies"
I could only find this version. It's live and I can't believe Jimi ever tried this on stage:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIBvJUa2AIs&feature=PlayList&p=9086798B303540B8&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=77

Here are the lyrics:

I just want to talk to you
I won't uh, do you no harm
I just want to know about your diff'rent lives
On this is here people farm
I heard some of you got your families
Living in cages tall and cold
And some just stay there and dust away
Past the age of old.
Is this true ?
Please let me talk to you.

I just wanna know about
The rooms behind your minds
Uh do I see a vacuum there
Or am I going blind ?
Or is it just uh, remains of vibrations
And echoes long ago ?
Uh things like "Love the world" and uh
Uh "Let your fancy flow"
Is this true ?
Please let me talk to you
Let me talk to you.

I have lived here before
The days of ice
And of course this is why
I'm so concerned
And I come back to find
The stars misplaced
And the smell of a world
That is burned
A smell of a world
That is burned.

Yeah well, maybe, hmm...
Maybe it's just a... change of climate
Hmm, hmm...
Well I can dig it
I can dig it baby
I just want to see.

So where do I purchase my ticket ?
I'd just like to have a ringside seat
I want to know about the new Mother Earth
I want to hear and see everything
I want to hear and see everything
I want to hear and see everything
Yeah...

Aww, shucks
If my daddy could see me now
Everything, everything, everything, oh everything

19. Van Morrison: Cyprus Avenue
I have so many favourites, questions like this hurt my brain. But for the sake of this thread I have endured the pain and searched the dark, cobwebbed corners of my soul and can confidently say Cyprus Avenue is possibly, probably and likely my favourite song of all time.

Its never-quite-clear-to-me story keeps me wondering "What happened there? What prompted that phrase, or that one?" Its sweet winding melody pulls at my heart, whenever I hear it I have to stop what I'm doing and ride that sound.
