Uber-Tunes

Sometimes I'll hear a song and it will really grab me. I'll listen to it on my iPod over and over again for a long time, and keep coming back to it over and over again. These songs are different from the songs that I just like; I obsess over these songs. Sometimes I know it's because I can sing them well; they're in the sweet spot of my vocal range and I can really belt it out (Afterglow and The Crane Wife 3 are like that). Others I'm not so sure about, but there's just something about them.

Anyway, I was thinking about these songs and I thought I'd make a list of them, and here's my list. I'm sure I've missed a couple, but maybe you'll find something you like in here.

Afterglow, by INXS

Face Down, by Katie Todd Band
Gravity, by Embrace
Hallelujah, by Jeff Buckley
Hear Me Out, by Frou Frou
Hide And Seek, by Imogen Heap
If You Were Here, by Cary Brothers
In The Sun, by Joseph Arthur
Intro - Svefn-g-Englar, by Sigur Ros
London Rain (Nothing Heals Me Like You Do), by Heather Nova
Such Great Heights, by Iron & Wine
The Crane Wife 3, by The Decemberists
Thinking About Tomorrow, by Beth Orton
World Spins Madly On, by The Weepies

Thanks. While some of your selections are a bit to frou frou for me, I am grabbing some Sigur Ros and Iron & Wine...
