1: Find the River
Number one. Without a doubt one of the most most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Takes my breath away every time.
Perfection.
This has been fun! Maybe I'll do another music challenge again soon.

I don't know what to say about this song, other than that it's really beautiful and has a super cool music video which tricked me into thinking my tv was broken when it came on MTV back in the day.

This is the song that made me love R.E.M. I always liked them before, but this song made me a real fan. I'll never grow tired of it.
Side note: If I was bald I would totally rock this look for Halloween.

My Nightswimming post last night was a little silly but that's what I get for listening to sad songs after 2 dirty martinis.
This track is the opposite, it's bright, bold and triumphant. Or maybe not, I have no idea what it's about.

If you don't get this song, it's not for you.
