"I Like The Chemistry" Moss

 
















What a coincidence! I also like the chemistry! General, organic, or analytical...

"Shimmer" Fuel

Here's another song I lost in the back of my mind. This track is eons better than Fuel's first big hit "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)", for those who care to remember.

"Highway" Ingrid Michaelson

 
















Ingrid keeps putting out great music, but I still love to marinate in some of her delicious earlier tunes. This specific track is just one of my favorites on an essentially flawless album.

"Canto della Terra" Andrea Bocelli

 















Andrea is a personal hero of mine. Despite being completely blind he has succeeded as a premiere opera singer, and in addition, can play the piano, flute, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, harp, guitar, and drums. His powerhouse tenor voice absolutely kills this song.

"For You I WIll (Confidence)" Teddy Geiger

My sister reminded me that this song existed yesterday. As far as I know, Teddy has fallen off the face of the earth over the past few years, which is unfortunate, because I really dig his one-hit-wonder. The burst at :32, the stutter on stutter, and dimming the lights/creating a moon in the mall... pure gold.

"Bad" U2

 















 I love this song's build up of intensity and the passion of Bono's vocals.

"Animal" Neon Trees

Apparently this is what the kids are listening to these days. As it so happens, it's also what I'm listening to.

"Passion Play" William Fitzsimmons

 
















Soft and sweet with unique ambient beats. I just want a small part in your passion play...

"Spiderwebs" No Doubt

 
















I'm always hooked on this song within the first 15 seconds. Also, it may be the song most popularly used as an answering machine message.

"Hello Good Morning" Diddy - Dirty Money

 















This song was in all of our heads during my beach weekend with the Vratarich clan, especially, and appropriately, in the morning.

A little long overdue treat from one of the best concerts I've attended. Photo credit to KR.

"Pennies from Heaven" Louis Prima

 















The face only a mother could love, but the voice that's just too much fun to deny.

"Please Forgive Me" Patrick Doyle

 
















I love this song, even though I've never seen the movie for which it was composed. Based on picture evidence, I imagine the film is rather smirky.

"Trust" Eric James & The New Century

 
















The New Century isn't really all that new any longer. In fact, they have disbanded. Their existence was brief, but oh so nice.

"I Want Tears" Michelle Branch

Michelle's new EP retains elements of her style as a member of The Wreckers. She may have some country tendencies, but something always keeps me avidly listening album after album.

"Why Should I Worry" Billy Joel

 














I was reminded of this gem of a song (and movie) tonight by KH and AR. Thank you for your inspiration!

"Everytime You Go Away" Paul Young

The chorus of this song randomly popped into my head while taking a shower, and thus, it is today's SOTD. Writing credit goes out to Daryl Hall. I miss the days when songs like this hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

"Money Talks" AC/DC

 
















I was due for something a little heavier, and lately this is just what the doctor ordered.

"I Believe (When I Fall In Love It Will Be Forever)" Stevie Wonder

This song would have been PERFECT for cover week, but somehow it slipped my mind. This is Stevie's classy version of an Art Garfunkel hit, which I first heard while watching the movie High Fidelity (chock full of quality songs).

"I Believe (When I Fall In Love It Will Be Forever)" Stevie Wonder

"Now We Are Free" Hans Zimmer

After having listened to Hans' Inception soundtrack, I am reminded of his earlier epic composing for this epic film.
