    Definitely need some Common or John Legend, methinks. Does she like either of them?

    Would including "Maryland" by Vonda Shepard be considered indian giving or regifting?

    Perhaps mining the Song Memory thread might give you some ideas for a mix-CD.

    Only specific song I can think of besides the one I mentioned is "Sara" by Fleetwood Mac. Especially the line "you're the poet in my heart/never change/never start."

    That's the song a local radio station plays regularly off that new Coldplay record.

    Or "Ribbon In The Sky." Cannot lose with Stevie.

    If I'd recommended State of the Union, yes.
    But Song for the Road is about missing someone.

    She's a big fan of John Legend, though we own very little of it.

    Each Day Gets Better, in fact, made it on her last mix that she gave to me. I'll check out more of his stuff.

    Sun Comes Up (off a live album he did when he was John Stevens) or Stay With You. Those are the gold John Legend tracks.


    Stay With You

    We've been together for a while now
    We're growing stronger everyday now
    It feels so good and there's no doubt
    I will stay with you
    as each morning brings sunrise
    And the flowers bloom in springtime
    All my love you can rely
    And I'll stay with you


    Oh I'll stay with you through the ups and the downs
    Oh I'll stay with you when no one else is around
    And when the dark clouds arise
    I will stay by your side
    I know we'll be alright
    I will stay with you

    Though relationships can get old
    They had a tendency to grow cold
    We have something like a miracle
    Yeah, I'll stay with you

    Oh I'll stay with you through the ups and the downs
    Oh I'll stay with you when no one else is around
    And when the dark clouds arise
    I will stay by your side
    I know we'll be alright
    I will stay with you

    And there will be heartaches and pains, yes there will
    But through it all, we will remain
    In this life, we all know
    Friends may come, they may go
    Through the years I know
    I will stay
    And in the end I know that we'll find
    Love so beautiful and divine
    We'll be lovers for a lifetime, yeah
    And I'll stay with you
    I will stay with you

    Oh I'll stay with you through the ups and the downs
    Oh I'll stay with you when no one else is around
    And when the dark clouds arise
    I will stay by your side
    I know we'll be alright
    I will stay with you
    Everything will be fine
    And I will stay with you
    Through the end of time
    I will stay with you
