Your Song by Elton John
When it comes to all time greatest love songs, this has to crack the top five right? Top three? Isn't it pretty much everyone's dream to have someone write a song about them (this actually happened to my sister, I've never really known how she felt about that).
Anyway, I'm not sure who Elton is signing this song to, but it doesn't matter. I do love how he forgets the color of the girl/guys eyes, that's always made me smile. And when they're on a roof with moss on it beats me. But it's a great song that you can't help thinking of the person you're in love with. And I'm not adding to this song... so enjoy it.
"My gift is my song and/this one's for you"

So says Rob Gordon... I'm not so sure, but it seems like a good title for a blog about music - though come to think of it I wouldn't mind living with Jenny Lewis or Neko Case... or Kim Deal... or Liz Phair... and mos def Annie.

What's Up With This?
A daily musical journey of 365 songs that I like and probably have some sort of meaning to me... This might go on forever.
The Deal
Here's How To Play: Make a list of 365 songs. The first ones will come easy. The rest will make you think, maybe even listen to some tunes you have not heard in years. This may be a good or bad thing. But leave room on your list. You may meet some new songs along the way. Try to keep your daily post to a word count limit by using one word per year that you have been on the planet. Drop me a comment with your link. (or do what I'm doing and just random pick a song thanks to iTunes or whatever and wirte a few words about).

It's a classic.
Your Dad had this LP and I remember the sounds of EJ spilling out from his boyhood room.
