30 of my favorite songs

You are enjoying Alyson King’s ultimate, 30 days of 30 lists with 30 facts about her…

Me on my first birthday, you can't see under the hat, but I was completely bald

How do you only pick 30 songs out of the hundreds that you love? So I finally decided to just pick my top 30 that either have some meaning, some memory attached, or a song I find myself putting on a play mix over and over. I also tried to limit one song per artist I love, even though most artist on here I love tons of their music, so I picked one of my favorite songs by them. (They are in no particular order)

1. “Silent All these Years” Tori Amos
2. “Walking on Air” Kerli
3. “Slow Me Down” Emmy Rossum
4. “Every time” Britney Spears
5. “The Phantom of the Opera” (I know this is a full musical, not necessarily one song, but I could fill up this list if I listed each song individually)
6. “Calling You” Blue October
7. “The Elf Knight” Steeleye Span (couldn't find a youtube video of this song, so I included Steeleye Span's most popular tune, "All Around my Hat"
8. “Window Panes” Karen Gibbs (impossible to find this song anywhere since it was only ever on a record, but it was the first song my Dad recorded with the new digital technology, and I can't hear it without bursting into tears)

10. “Passion” Utada Hikaru
11. “Bonny Portmore” Loreena Mckennitt
