song of the day:1. Après Moi by Regina Spektor
regina spektor is one of my overall favorite artists of all time. the songs she writes are feeling songs, even if occasionally they are slightly unintelligible. she's russian AND jewish, so two thumbs up for her. her accent is almost untraceable, but if you listen very closely, it's etched into several of the songs like an indentation of her sparkling musical ability. her piano music is beautiful. for most people, she's a love-hate artist, but for me it's definately love.

2. Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright
yes, the Shrek song. the lyrics are beautiful, as well as the strangely simple melody. his voice is so smooth, i want to melt into him. this song is wonderfully melancholy.

3. I'm Gonna Be by the Proclaimers
this song is steady, soothing, sweet and best of all... scottish! the brothers' accents cover over a multitude of sins. this is one of those songs that as soon as it starts playing people either say "i LOVE this song!" or "how do i know this? where have i heard this?" for me, it's love.
