One of a few covers I like..
Made up my mind to make a new start
Going to California with an aching in my heart
Someone told me there's a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair
Led Zeppelin covered by Sierra Eagleson

Depth over distance every time, my dear,
And I may be foolish to fall as I do
Still there's strength in the blindness you fear
If you're coming too, hmm
If you're coming too
Ben Howard
If you think Bob Dylan can't sing, think again..
If I was a poet
And could write a fine hand
I'd write my love a letter
That she'd understand
And write it by the river
Where the waters overflow
But I dream of pretty Saro
Wherever I go
Golden leaves looked brown to me
The world had less color without you
Shapes in the sky looked plain to my eyes
The world had less color without you
I know plenty of people with eyes closed
They don't see you like I do
Darling, I do
by Zerox, Landon Pigg, and Lucy Schwartz
(YES! It's from Shrek)
But if only you could see yourself in my eyes
You'd see you shine, you shine
I know you'd never leave me behind
But I am lost this time
Are we destined to burn or will we last the night?
I will hold you 'til I hold you right
But if only you could see yourself in my eyes
You'd see you shine, you shine
Dermot Kennedy

I'm not a big fan of most cover tunes, but this cover of Purple Rain is very moving.
I hope I'm in your dreams
The way you are in all of my mine
You've got a love so fine
I wish that I could make you mine

Follow, follow the sun
And which way the wind blows
When this day is done
Breath, breath in the air
Set your intentions
Dream with care
Tomorrow is a new day for everyone
A brand new moon, brand new sun
So follow, follow the sun
Xavier Rudd
I'm deep into the quicksand
Sinking below
All that's left is my hand
Down and down I go
Stick in the Wheel

You should never fight
With a lover for your life
You deserve the sun
Just as much as anyone
Hurray for the Riff Raff
I wish, I wish you could climb in my heart
Down where the real feelings are
You'd hear a real work of art
So please, come over here next to me
Lie in my arms silently
I'll show the things I can't sing
John Paul White
Ninety-nine, below zero
Would seem like fever now
You know me… no hero
Don’t even ask me how
I’m down in the deep deep freeze
What was I thinking of…
In the painful breeze
By the frozen trees
With a heart disease called love
Miracle Legion (cover of John Cooper Clarke)
This song makes my heart open wide.
I want all the best for each of you.
We Deserve to Dream by Xavier Rudd
For those who long for the olden days music before it got so sexualized and obscene...
Let me introduce you to Lucille Bogan from 1935.
Original WAP..
For when you need a break..
Bobby McFerrin singing a Bach Prelude in Montreal
If you like The Smithereens, The Replacements, The Clash, and The Pixies.. give this a listen and tell me what you think.
A Cast of Thousands
Love is the cure.
In this world with a lot of problems
All we need is a little loving
Thank you, thank you, oh, you make me
Thank you, thank you for your love
Jon Batiste
And if you just want fun music..
The man is tall, mad, mean and good lookin'
And he's got me at his eye
When he looks at me, I go weak at the knees
Got me going like no other guy
'Cause he's my big bad handsome man, yeah
He's got me in the palm of his hand
He's the devil divine, I'm so glad that he's mine
'Cause he's my big bad handsome man
Imelda May
If you are struggling today.. allow yourself to love you.
I trust every part of you, 'cause all that I..
All that you say you do
You love me despite myself
Sometimes I, I fight myself
I just can't believe that you, would have anything to do
With someone so insecure, someone so immature
Oh you inspire me, to be the higher me
You made my desire pure
Lauryn Hill
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?
