OK one more. My absolutely favorite version of Halleluja. It gives me chills every time...and it's completely acapella:

And another in the same vein, this one well known (and may have already been posted here). The video is great, too:

Flogging Molly's "Don't Let Me Die Still Wondering"

A good reminder to me to not forget to actually live life.

This one is good too. Yes all three of them were mainstream country singles and I make no apologies for that. :)

I have never listened to Dierks Bentley. He has a good voice. Thanks for introducing him to me.

You're welcome. I like his voice quite a bit.

Here's another song of his I really like.

This is one of my melancholy mood songs:

I put the actual song up because the music video is rather choppy and not that well done IMO.

Came across this one today and I don't think I've heard it since it was on the radio 7 years ago.

It's amazing to see how much more relevant song has become to me over those years.

This one has been stuck in my head recently. The message hits home.

Will Hoge originally did it, his version is great too.

As a kid I used to think the lyrics were "I crossed the lawn into Taiwan."

WildBill, my parents had a record player with a few records when I was growing up. One of the ones I used to listen to frequently was a 45 of Runaway. I don't remember what was on the B side but I didn't listen to it much. The other record I remember listening to was Gerry Rafferty's City to City.

I've thought about starting a jazz collection of records because there is something to be said for listening to music on a record. They have more "soul" than an MP3 does, if that makes any sense.

Glad I could help! I got into Social D several years ago and realized all of what I had been missing. :)

WildBill, good choice on Streets of Bakersfield! I had a chance to visit Buck Owens' Crystal Palace in Bakersfield a few years back, neat place with some good live music.

Love this song too.

Another...Green Fields of France as performed by Drop Kick Murphys

Thanks Bill. I absolutely love this version by Brother Iz, along with most of his other music. I dare say I want it played at my funeral.

The Minstrel Boy is another song that gives me chills and this version in particular is amazing:
