Apropos of nothing, here’s a list of some songs I listen to over and over while I write:
Duet: Rachel Yamagata from Elephants
This Love is Over: Ray LaMontagne from God Willing & The Creek Don’t Rise
Twenty Years: Augustana from Can’t Love, Can’t Hurt
You’re Beautiful: James Blunt from Back to Bedlam
Decoration Day: John Lee Hooker from The Best of John Lee Hooker 1965-1974
Remember When: Alan Jackson from Greatest Hits Vol 2
First Day of My Life: Bright Eyes, from I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning
Never Easy: Kurt Nilsen, from Espen Lind’s album Hallelujah – Live
The River: Kurt Nilsen, from Espen Lind’s album Hallelujah – Live
At the moment, Kurt Nilsen’s Never Easy is my favorite of these by a mile. I love this man’s voice. I prefer this version rather than the one on his own album.
