Songs Everyone Should Know

It's hard to pick some favorites, like a favorite movie or book or song; it seems there are too many categories. But if I had to choose a favorite song, this one would definitely be up there in the top five. Maybe top three.

I was listening to it this evening and wondering if I could find a video...there are a bunch of weird things out there on YouTube, including some live bootleg versions of this that have been entirely ruined by tone deaf audience members singing along as they were recording. Not good.

But this is pretty cool. Just the words, with the studio recording. Simple.

I will warn you that I'm pretty sure the phrase "white sea of eyes" should actually read "WIDE sea of eyes," because otherwise that's just creepy. Anyway, enjoy a little Ben Folds:

On Significant Days and New Beginnings

My heart is full today, and my own words fail, so I will speak with His.

Psalm 30: 11-12

You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness,
That my soul may sing praise to You and not be silent.
O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
