Music Monday -- 101 Faves Love Songs Edition

As part of my ongoing Day Zero Project, I've made a list of my favorite 101 songs of all time.  To help cut down on the possibilities, I took songs only from my iTunes account.  Each edition will include ~5 songs with a theme.  Enjoy!

Joshua Radin feat. Schuyler Fisk "Paperweight" -- First encountered this song on the Last Kiss soundtrack.  Fell in love with Joshua Radin right then.  His music is just gorgeous.

Relient K "Be My Escape" -- A slightly odd choice, but I really love the lyrics to this song.  Relient K was on heavy rotation in my classroom a few years ago.  I always had requests and even got some students singing along.  Regular and acoustic versions for your enjoyment (I think I like the acoustic version better...).

Dido "Here with Me" -- One of my absolute favorites.  I adore this song so much.  Every time I listen, I return to the late 1990s and it makes me feel happy.

Tyler Hilton "I Believe in You" -- A fairly new discovery.  Nevertheless, I love Hilton's voice. A couple of different versions for you to enjoy.

Josh Kelley "Two Cups of Coffee" -- The only way to listen to this song is the acoustic version.  I saw Josh Kelley sometime around 2005?  and he debuted this song as an acoustic version.  I immediately fell in love with it.  I had to include an acoustic version for you.

Panic at the Disco "She Had the World" -- Am I the only one that actually liked his Panic album?  I loved the oddness of the songs.  It reminded me of The Killer's Sam's Town album.

Josh Groban "So She Dances" -- Yes, I like Josh Groban.

As part of my ongoing Day Zero Project, I've made a list of my favorite 101 songs of all time.  To help cut down on the possibilities, I took songs only from my iTunes account.  Each edition will include ~5 songs with a theme.  Enjoy!

Matchbox Twenty "3 am" -- One of those songs that I still know every word to...  I loved early Matchbox Twenty.  I even saw them in concert at Ball State in 2000.

No Doubt "Sunday Morning" -- While many would go to "Just a Girl" or "Spiderwebs" from Tragic Kingdom, I always go to "Sunday Morning."  For added fun, a live version.

The Offspring "The Kids Aren't Alright" -- Another band I saw in concert during college.  I love their older stuff, but this song holds a special place in my heart.  Too many of the situations in this song reminded me of people I knew in high school.  Kind of sad, but I still love it.

Hole "Celebrity Skin" -- Another concert band.  I was supposed to see them with Marilyn Manson, but they dropped out of the tour.  Thankfully they came a few months later during a Christmas concert with Orgy and two others bands.  Okay, it may not have been a Christmas concert, but it was four bands...

Dashboard Confessional "Saints and Sailors" -- The live version is much better than the studio.  I love his MTV Unplugged album.

Howie Day "Ghost" -- Day adds great little parts to this song on the live version.  It sounds more natural to me.

Flogging Molly "Float" -- I was supposed to see them last summer, but we moved before the concert.  I would still love to see them.

John Mayer "Neon" -- He may be an idiot, but I love this song live.

Alkaline Trio "Calling All Skeletons" -- Saw them in concert with Blink 182 and A New Found Glory.  And one of their friends was an acquaintance in college.  Great song!

Kate Voegele "One Way or Another" -- I saw her in concert opening for Josh Kelley (before being on One Tree Hill).  I love her upbeat music, but this isn't one of those.  But it's my favorite song of hers.

Christina Perri "Jar of Hearts" -- So amazing...

KT Tunstall "Ashes" -- She's another interesting voice.  I love the different, almost bluesy quality to it.

Regina Spektor "Apres Moi" -- Love her bridge in Russian.  It just sounds so amazing.  I still need to get her newest album.

Amanda Palmer "Astronaut" -- One half of The Dresden Dolls, all by herself.  I am part of the world that loves her.

Ben Folds "Narcolepsy" -- Has collaborated with Amanda Palmer and Regina Spektor, weird coincidence.  Plus, I saw him in concert with the Fort Wayne Philharmonic and he rocked the Embassy.
