Music holds for me, and I'm pretty sure for everyone, a little special place deep in my heart...  Some music you just feel, and some music gets you to realize things about this world that were heretofore unknown.  Below are some of my favourite songs, that will always hold a place within me, for as long as I live, some which have reasons as to why I feel like this for them, some I just really like the tune

4 a.m. - Our Lady Peace

 I'm not to sure why I chose 4 a.m., it could be that my father and myself don't really have a father-son type relationship in my eyes.  Yes, he is my father, it's just that never of us have gone to the steps to reach out to each other like we should.  And I know that I will miss him when he does pass away, but until then, I can always try to improve my relationship with him.

Turn My Head - Live

Have you ever seen a person, guy or girl who just turned your head??  If you just mellow out and listen to the lyrics to this song, you will be able to picture that person, and feel what the song says.  It is the most simplistic of love songs; which is true singing as how Ed Kowalczyk (Live's lead singer) wrote the song for his girlfriend while the band was touring in the Middle East.

Lightning Crashes - Live

As people have said, this was one of the most powerful, most soulful and most poetic song of '94.  Just listening to the lyrics makes people cry, get tearful, or others to remember.  This is a song which everyone associates with themselves for someone they have loved and lost, only to left with the memories of them.

Pillar Of Davidson - Live

Yes, I am a big Live fan and this song is just cool.

Freshmen - The Verve Pipe

This song is the type of song that stays with you when your done listening to it.  The lyrics say it all, so there is no point in saying here.  Just the way it is song is very powerfully and emotionally, that if  you'll just listen to the lyrics, it would blow you away.

Iris - Goo Goo Dolls

Iris, just like Turn My Head, is a simple love song, one that everyone can relate to because we have all been to that point, where all we want to do is be "with" that special someone and just be yourself, not some psuedo-facade that you try to be.

California - Semisonic

Powerful tune about life in the Big Time, where one must destroy everything they are to become successful, or in oher words ow success destroys some people.

Desperado - The Eagles

I love The Eagles music, Desperado showed me that no matter  what happens, you must always show yourself for who you truly are.

Not That Different - Colin Raye

This song has a simple premise.  No matter how different we are on the outside, we are all the same on the inside as the chorus says....I laugh, I love, I hope, I try, I hurt, I need, I feel, I cry.

Turn The Page - Bob Seger

A friend of mine, Roger LeBlanc, said that this song is truly the story of life on the road as a star, establishing this from years he, himself, spent on the road with his band.  I tend to agree with him, as the song is very haunting with the lament of Mr. Seger, and his never-ending road life.

What's She Doing, Now - Garth Brooks

Everyone has someone whom will always be with them, even after they have parted ways.  This is the basic song along that theme, with Garth Brooks thinking back to a woman long past in his life, wondering if she still thinks of him, like he thinks of her.
