I've kind of fallen behind on these. (Yes, I intend to do this for all twenty-six playlists.)
- Where You Lead, Carole King. The fact that this is the theme song for "Gilmore Girls" doesn't hurt, but I liked it even before that.
- Vincent, Don McLean. I feel the need to give McLean a full post sometime.
- Deacon Blues, Steely Dan. "They got a name for the winners in the world / I want a name when I lose / They call Alabama the Crimson Tide / Call me Deacon Blues." Gotta love it.
- Goodbye to Love, the Carpenters. More sniffles for Karen.
- Are You Lonesome Tonight, Elvis. It's the spoken part that really gets me: "If you won't come back to me, then they can ring the curtain down." (For me, this hooks into a powerful passage from The City and the Stars, oddly enough.)
- Right Before Your Eyes, America. This one and the next are more of the soft-and-beautiful work that America does (did?) so well.
- Only In Your Heart, America.
- What Becomes of the Broken Hearted, Jimmy Ruffin. A classic bit of Motown.
- I Take My Chances, Mary Chapin Carpenter.
- Beginnings, Chicago. Bright, joyful, and full of hope.
