Nick Cave - Are You The One That I've Been Waiting For

Top Three:

Hear Our Prayer, O Lord - Henry Purcell
Ain't Misbehavin' - Fats Waller
Ride - David Sylvian

I was really close to putting that on my mixtape (it's 110th though) but at the last moment opted for Marvin Gaye's Inner City Blues instead.

I'm not even going to start on a top 10 of most beautiful songs... but the most beautiful one I heard today was a solo piano version of The Mercy Seat by Nick Cave.

sigur ros - hun joro

My list, although a lot of these have been mentioned

1. Sometimes-MBV
2. The Diamond Sea - SY
3. 198d - At The Drive-in
4. Stars - Hum
5. Modern Romance - YYYs
6. There There (The Boney King of Nowhere) - Radiohead
7. Velouria - Pixies
8. In Heaven - Pixies (especially the recent Kim Deal versions)
9. I'll Be Your Mirror - The VU and Nico
10. France - The Libertines

Yeah dude. Otis is awesome

yeah, so where's my rep for being the first (and only) person to mention a slowdive song?

" im still a friggin cadet here..."

That song couldn't be any sadder. There are a lot of sad songs, but this one nails it, it's perfect.

Sorry i must have missed one number there,mr perfect.

The last song that made me cry was Martha by Tom Waits. So I'll put that for now.

Definitely.
In contrast, God is Love from the same album is about the happiest song ever. His enthousiasm when he sings about Jesus and God gets me every time.. and I'm not religious in the slightest.



You're on the watch list, mr. imperfect!


On topic, today's most beautiful song is David Bowie - I'm Not Quite (the original version of Letter To Hermione)
