    Christina Perri's "Jar of Hearts"

    ~ her voice! Perri has one of THE very best singing voices out there and we don't hear from her nearly enough
    ~ this was the first song I heard from her; I was driving at the time and I had to pull over and stop the car at the edge of the road to listen; I HAD to listen with total attention

    but damn -- the WAY over-the-top dancers RUIN the music video. They should've left the camera on Perri.

    When that song comes on while I'm driving, I open all the windows, put it up to full volume and blast it.  Funny thing - I'm not even Christian!

    It sure does.  Another song that makes me feel the same way is, "You're Still the One."

    This is such a tearjerker that I have only heard this all the way through once.

    "There must be thousands" by The Quads. From the early punk rock era, but it's tbe sort of song that never grows old!

    OMG how could I have forgotten that one, kjames!!!  first time I heard it I had to get the album.....and i'm not a fan of his, but this one song is just........gee, can't describe!! lol.

    I esp. love when he sings "and tremble like a flower' the 2nd time he sings it; he's almost yelling it and it just suits the song so well!!!

    see, great minds think alike!! LOL


    :-D
