Keep it Together
 Guster | Keep It Together
An older song, but my favorite Guster offering — and that’s saying something.

~~~

Love Will Find a Way
Delirious | Kingdom of Comfort
 A favorite off Delirious’ most recent album.

~~~

Death and All His Friends
Coldplay  | Viva La Vida
Listen from 1:16-2:00. Enough said. Coldplay, you’re onto something.

~~~

Hopipolla
Sigur Ros | Hoppipolla
Always awesome, always strangely inspiring.

~~~

Beautiful Love (Acoustic)
The Afters | Never Going Back to OK
This song is breathtaking. A beautiful, inspirational duet.

~~~

The Lighthouse’s Tale
Nickel Creek | Nickel Creek
Probably the oldest song on here – but I still listen to this album all the time.

~~~

Sweetly Broken
Jeremy Riddle | Full Attention
A recent find, this song is my favorite worship song at the moment.

~~~

Ain’t No Reason
Brett Dennen | So Much More
Chosen for its awesome lyrics, though most of the album is great.

~~~

Two
Ryan Adams | Easy Tiger
Another favorite off an album that gets frequent playing time.

~~~

Life is Beautiful
Vega4 | You and Others
A great accidental find, this one’s currently on ‘repeat’ – on my ipod and in my head.

It’s from Justin McRoberts’ “Untitled EP.” I’m not quite sure what’s going on with this video — they keep cutting to some guy bobbing his head in the front row — but if you can get past that, the song is excellent.
