its funny how many people have picked "in my life" by the beatles. thats the song i picked to dance with my father at my wedding for the father/daughter dance.
shareMy list at this moment..anyway, I hope I will die many, many years from now!! :)
1.- Asleep - The Smiths
2.- There Goes the Fear - Doves
3.- Doing The Unstuck - The Cure
4.- There's a place reserved for me and my friends - Morrissey
5.- Say Something Wonderful - Budapest
It's hard for me to pick just 5. Is that bizarre? I think it is.
1. David Bowie- Life On Mars (my most favorite song ever)
2. My Morning Jacket- Where To Begin
3. Nick Drake- Fly
4. Neutral Milk Hotel- In The Aeroplane Over The Sea
5. Nick Cave- There She Goes, My Beautiful World. Which, like Rob, I would want some tearful stranger to insist on singing.
"All that we have before us is violence.....and our relentless pursuit of candy."
I'd try and keep the people watching sitting there for a while. So...
Octavarium by Dream Theater (24 minutes)
Echoes by Pink Floyd (23 minutes) - to be played at the end, as it is my favourite song ever.
White Lines (Don't Do it) by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five (full 7 minute version)
