I spent last night listening to a selection of great songs, taking the opportunity to pull at the emotions. Great songs should do that. I listened to:
Damien Rice – eskimo
Nick Drake – One of these things first
Johnny Cash – One
Neil Young – Like a Hurricane
REM – Night Swimming
David Byrne – Au fond du temple saint
Tears for Fears – Pale Shelter
Prefab Sprout – Steal your thunder
A couple of beers to go with it, and the result was a fantastic evening.
