My Favorite

I forgot about this song. I love it when you forget a song that you play obsessively for a summer three years ago, and then you rediscover it.

On a side note, I was listening to Bruce Springsteen the other day (song: The River), and I started to think about other songs with "river" in the title and how it might be fun to make a mix tape of these. Being the lazy thinker that I am, I decided to google "songs with river in the title," and found this. Fantastic. Interestingly (sadly, shamefully), they DID NOT include Neil Young or Bruce Springsteen, though Enya and The Indigo Girls (hiccup, covering Neil Young) did. Awful. If I were to make a mix, these are some of the songs I would put on it.

Neil Young "Down By The River"
Bruce Springsteen "The River"
David Byrne and Brian Eno "The River"
Dennis Wilson "River Song"
Olivia Newton John "Cry Me A River"
Justin Timberlake "Cry Me A River"
Willie Nelson "Whiskey River"
Joni Mitchell "River"
Beck "Fourteen Rivers, Fourteen Floods"
Billy Joel "River of Dreams"
The Mills Brothers "Up A Lazy River" (I actually think this song is awful, but it might work well for the mix)
Talking Heads "Take Me To The River"
Creedence Clearwater Revival "Green River"
The Grateful Dead "Big River"
Whitesnake "River Song"
Frank Sinatra "Moon River"

That's all I got.
