Willow ,'Conversations with Dead People'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
"Act of Nature" and "Arrow" by Cheryl Wheeler; "Sleeper" and "Here in the Going Going Gone" by Greg Brown.
Oh yeah, I'll second those, especially "Arrow" and "Here in the Going Going Gone". And I'll add Patty Larkin's "Good Thing", which was always Buffy and Angel's theme song in my head:
"I had dreams like distant thunder
I had hope like a prayer unheard
And this is nothing less than perfect
In a less than perfect world..."
One of my faves was hearing "The Darkest Night of All" by Lisa Germano on a Homicide: LOTS episode.
On an unrelated note, how great is "Jesus of Suburbia"? It's a nine-minute fucking song, and I can't stop listening to it.
Crap on a crap stick, with crap dipping sauce....
I'm trying to find a copy of The Feelies The Good Earth. There is one used copy on Amazon, for $99.
eta: Ooh, Rasputin Music has a copy for $10.99....
I love you guys.

"She Calls Your Name" - Beth Orton
t cough She Cries Your Name t cough.
An ex-boyfriend of mine always used to burst into tears at Simon & Garfunkel's The Boxer.
Hec, ending In The Pines with Black-Eyed Dog is a stroke of genius. I bow to your mix skills.
She Cries Your Name
Only about the ninth song title error I've made this month. I need a fact checker. I've got a great live, in a radio studio version of this, incidentally.

Thank you! That's one of my favorite tapes. The whole beginning of that tape blends beautifully (Women of Ireland - Laurie Lewis; Wayfaring Stranger - Emmylou Harris; Bargain Store - Dolly Parton; Blue Moon - Elvis Presley; Ain't No Ash Will Burn - Ranch Romance). The Ranch Romance song is particularly gorgeous, but not well known.
My all-time most heartbreaking section, though, is on Blackwater Side where it goes from: Jesus Help Me To Stand - Alison Krauss; My Youngest Son Came Home Today - Mary Black; A Heart Needs a Home - Richard & Linda Thompson. The Alison Krauss song is devastating, and Mary Black's cover of the Phil Bogle classic equally so. Then you just crawl into the solace of the Richard Thompson.

I'm too brain-addled by work to offer anything to the lists, which seem pretty damn perfect to me, anyway.
Tommy, if you can't get a copy of The Good Earth, let me know. I'll send you one via Soulseek.
