You know what I listen to. Aside from the obligatory Shine and True Colours, I also like Midnight Radio. And um, you know, everything by Cyndi. Oh, lately, it's been Anna Blue I turn to. *rhymes*
Stevie's Somebody Stand By Me.
Both Sides Now, Joni Mitchell. I love her voice, whether it's the flutey original, or the remake with that lowered, smoky sound. I know she dismisses it as being fluffy, early stuff, but whatev. Still moves me.
Hurt, Johnny Cash. The way it just builds instrumentally...
Songbird or Why, Fleetwood Mac.
Ballad of Lucy Jordan, Marianne Faithfull.
My Generation, Patti Smith. Just to help me get my attitude back.
Everybody Hurts, R.E.M. I dunno. It's just a nice reminder that... well, everbody hurts.
