OLP-Thief

dave matthews band - the dreaming tree
jeff buckley - lover, you should have come over

i forgot some of the best ones. something corporate is one of those 'even our happy songs make you want to burst into tears' bands for me. letters to noelle, walking by, konstantine, ben franklin's kite, caldecott tunnel, cavanaugh park, heroine..all good.
there's something about andrew's voice and that dang piano that make you want to cry like a kid that ran into a fence.

...uh. bad comparison, eh?

konstantine and cavanaugh park are such great songs...

Katell Keineg - The Gulf of Araby
Jump, Little Children - B-13
Sarah McLachlan - Angel
Neil Diamond - He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother
Jewel - Adrian
Natalie MacMaster - Get Me Through December
