i had a good buddy/co-worker/friend/bad-ass dude that i knew who died when he was just 19 of osteosarcoma. willie was an incredibly talented musician and consequently, music was a large part of his life. before willie died his mom asked him to make her a list of his 15 favorite songs by 15 different artists, in other words no two songs by the same artist. the only other stipulation was that the songs would be songs that meant something to him. it took me about a year to come up with my list of 15 but it is below:
1. Kite - U2
2. Wedding Dress - Derek Webb
3. The News - Jack Johnson
4. Til' Kingdom Come - Coldplay
5. Empty - Ray Lamontagne
6. Black River - Amos Lee
7. Love Song for a Savior - Jars of Clay
8. White Pines Ranch - Mark David Manders
9. Feeling Good Again - Robert Earl Keen Jr.
10. Runnin' Buddy - Max Stalling
11. Picture of Jesus - Ben Harper and The Blind Boys of Alabama
12. Pueblo Nuevo - Buena Vista Social Club
13. Under the Blanket - Trevor Hall
14. Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash
15. Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley
what's yours?
