Working on getting zip file downloads... I'll edit once I have it.
The Band - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
This song is probably embedded into my mind. My grandfather always used to sing or play this song when I was younger. It's always just been an oddly comforting song to me.
Star Spangled Banner - Jimi Hendrix
Yesssss.
Casimir Pulaski Day - Sufjan Stevens
I love Sufjan Stevens for some really odd reason. This is my favorite song off their 2005 album, Illinois.
The Fear You Won't Fall - Joshua Radin
I'm a sucker for even little harmonies. And boys with voices like his.
Desolation Row - Bob Dylan
I can't even describe the love affair I wish I could have with Bob Dylan. Way to make a million references to fictional and pop culture icons in an eleven minute song.
Ain't No Reason - Brett Dennen
"The politicians lie and I am not fooled.
You don't need no reason or a three piece suit to argue the truth.
The air on my skin and the world under my toes,
Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes,
Chaos and commotion wherever I go, love I try to follow."
Hey, Jude - The Beatles
My mom used to tell me how she went through this huge Beatles phase when she was pregnant with me. Like... scarily obsessive. And it somehow transfered to me. After I was born, Hey, Jude was the only song my mom could sing to put me to sleep. Scream Mary Had a Little Lamb.
America - Simon & Garfunkel
If you've never heard this song, you need to do it NOW.
White Winter Hymnal - Fleet Foxes
Scarily enchanting. My friend Michael was obsessed with this song when he first heard it.
Give Peace A Chance - John Lennon
Duh.
