Here are a few of the songs that formed the soundtrack to my formative years. Not that I understood any of the lyrics then, but I definitely have a newfound appreciation of them now.
These are songs that I know all the words to, and can't help but sing along with at the top of my lungs. Most importantly, they helped to shape and define what I would listen to years later.
Lisa Loeb - Stay (I Missed You)
Paula Cole - I Don't Want to Wait
Will it be yes or will it be
Sorry
Tracy Chapman - Fast Car
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way
Shawn Colvin - Sunny Came Home
She says days go by I don't know why
I'm walking on a wire
It makes me wonder if there are any female vocalists of equal calibre in this generation - who can sing with such tenderness and tell a vivid story with their finely placed words and a few strums of their guitar.
