Marc Cohn's "Walking In Memphis" just makes me happy.
Billy Joel's "For The Longest Time" -- I fell in love with this song partly because when I used to babysit my nephew Nicholas, he'd stop crying whenever I dropped the needle on this track of the record. (Shows you how long ago this was--I had the LP.) The song was like magic "cheer up" music.
Bonnie Raitt's "Feels Like Home to Me" -- I like the way this song uses simple, down to earth illustrations of the profound comfort of being loved.
Paolo Conte's "Via Con Me (It's Wonderful)" -- my niece Siobhan and I heard this song in a commercial in a movie theater before the show started and it cracked us up. I bought the CD and every time I picked her up from school we'd play it again. It's unapologetically joyous, quirky, and cool.
