What are your 3 favorite songs on the last CD you heard?
I just listened to Tom Petty's Highway Companion. Favorite songs are:

"Saving Grace" - the rowdiest song on the CD

"Flirting With Time" - rocks with his best, like "Won't Back Down."

"Big Weekend" - has a glorious Dylan meets The Byrds sound

"Night Driver" is the best ballad and would be a close 4th. All the songs are great except a couple near the end - "This Old Town" and "Ankle Deep." For that reason, I give the CD a still excellent A-, but I'm open to giving an A based on the very high quality found on the CD.

1. A mix CD.
"Shining Collection" Damn best song I've ever heard. Makes me want to dance.

"'Cause I can" By Pink. I love that song.

"Hips don't lie" One of Shakira's english best.

2. That Pink song is a hoot, isn't it?
It's has the kind of sassiness that I love from her.

3. It cracks me up everytime I hear it.
My mom and I got to see her in concert. She opened with it, complete with knee-high leather boots and riding whip. It was hot. ;) She rocked.

4. From VNV Nation's "Matter + Form"
1. Arena

Before me plays the endless film
Relentless splinters I recall
Each living thing breathes life
Only sentiment remains
To Liquid born, from patterns formed
The sand descends with blind intent
Where the river takes me will in time be revealed

I cannot turn my feelings down
Beyond my means to turn my thoughts around
Expressed in every word I will ever speak
Brighter than all the stars combined
More than the waters, Earth, and sky
All that I wish and all that I dream
No creed on Earth can replace or provide
In my darkest hour, the comfort I'd feel
Leading me to see I can be more than I expect of me
My beginning and my end
The first and last air that I breathe
More than the sum of everything that I will ever be

Above the waves with my hands raised
Dare the wind, lay claim to me
Knowing somehow none could take me
Wasthing the sun come up in vain
The only reason I can find why I remained
The need to leave the point I came to again and again

It didn't matter how hard I tried
It took so long to claim that I knew how
Or what it meant to let go of this
To ever say goodbye
Call it destiny, call it fate
Chose my direction: Running forward
Each life to learn anew, whatever may come




2. Homeward

The hallowed lands so far behind
As fleeting dreams still linger
Like distant voices through the rain
Like grains of sand cast from my hands

I never thought I'd go this far
Without a star to cross the seas
So far from shores I'd left behind
Still far from shores I've yet to reach

I try to find the strength I need
To calm the doubts in my belief
With the will, I know my heart won't break

And if I have strength, then I've belief
If I have love, my heart still beats
Here under stars
Far from home

The picture fades, the light recedes
The sound is lost in whispers
My recollections once clear and pure
Now distant lights that dim with time

I never thought I'd go this far
Without a star to cross the seas
So far from shores I'd left behind
Still far from shores I've yet to reach



3. Endless Skies

How many years since you found yourself
Staring at an endless sky?

Unaware of yourself
Who you are and where you're going
Only living
Only breathing
Losing all sense of time

The most fragile of things
Captivates and embraces you
Surrender and be witness
To this rarest of moments

You live within the sense of the order of things
What is truth
What is important
What defines you

No need to fear
No need to worry
About years that passed
About time you lost

Live seconds as a lifetime
Time it does not matter
You live within the sense
Of the stillness of time
