if music be the food of love, sing on

[sadie_cocopuff]

the highlights of my day were two pieces of music. the first: patrick's breastplate, a wonderful old hymn that we only get to sing once a year, and never actually on saint patrick's day. i was always fascinated by the rune in madeleine l'engle's a swiftly tilting planet, so it was cool to find it actually came from something. the second: a beautiful arrangement of psalm 23 by a composer named allen pote. i almost cried when we were singing it. for the record, i want it sung at my funeral and as many possible occasions until then.
and while i'm talking about music...the songs that make my favorites list at the moment:
daniel powter - bad day
the beatles - if i fell in love with you
eisley - memories
death cab for cutie - someday you will be loved
fall out boy - sugar we're goin' down
jimmy eat world - sweetness
the wonders - that thing you do
billy joel - the longest time
eisley - trolley wood
