Answer 1

Anna Nalicks 2:00 a.m, or anything by Norah Jones.

Answer 2

2 picks - so worth listening to the original artist to get the feelings of each song

1st - beautiful and melodic

Artist: John Prine with Bonnie Raitt
Album: John Prine
Title: Angel From Montgomery

I am an old woman named after my mother
My old man is another child that's grown old
If dreams were lightning thunder was desire
This old house would have burnt down a long time ago

Chorus:
Make me an angel that flies from montgom'ry
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing that i can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go

When i was a young girl well, i had me a cowboy
He weren't much to look at, just free rambling man
But that was a long time and no matter how i try
The years just flow by like a broken down dam.

Repeat chorus:

There's flies in the kitchen i can hear 'em there buzzing
And i ain't done nothing since i woke up today.
How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
And come home in the evening and have nothing to say.

Repeat chorus:

2nd pick - sung on the cd a cappella - almost any Tracy Chapman song would work ..... sign of a great songwriter

Artist: Tracy Chapman
Album: Tracy Chapman
Title: Behind The Wall

Last night I heard the screaming
Loud voices behind the wall
Another sleepless night for me
It won't do no good to call
The police
Always come late
If they come at all

And when they arrive
They say they can't interfere
With domestic affairs
Between a man and his wife
And as they walk out the door
The tears well up in her eyes

Last night I heard the screaming
Then a silence that chilled my soul
I prayed that I was dreaming
When I saw the ambulance in the road

And the policeman said
"I'm here to keep the peace
Will the crowd disperse
I think we all could use some sleep"

Answer 3

Landslide (Stevie Nicks)

Well, I've been afraid of changing 'cause I built my life around you
But time makes you bolder, even children get older
And I'm getting older too

Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?

And if you see my reflection in a snow covered hill
Will a landslide bring you down, etc.

Answer 4

"Maybe This Time'' from Cabaret by Kander & Ebb, sung accapella in the movie Kilometer Zero. " Lady Peaceful, Lady Happy, that's what I long to be. Well all the odds are there in my favor, something bound to begin. Its gonna happen , happen sometime, maybe this I'll win!

Answer 5

Yesterday by the Beatles

Yesterday, seems so very, very far away...
Oh, How I believe in Yesterday

or Amazing Grace
Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound...

Answer 6

How about 'Because' by The Beatles ? It is very mellow, melodic and there is great emphasis on the singing rather than the instruments:

Because the world is round it turns me on
Because the world is round...aaaaaahhhhhh

Because the wind is high it blows my mind
Because the wind is high......aaaaaaaahhhh

Love is all, love is new
Love is all, love is you

Because the sky is blue, it makes me cry
Because the sky is blue.......aaaaaaaahhhh

Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh....

Answer 7

The Long Black Veil

Ten years ago, on a cold, dark night
Someone was killed beneath the town hall light
There were few at the scene
But they all agreed
That the slayer who ran
Looked a lot like me

She walks these hills in a Long Black Veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me

The judge said, "Son, what is your alibi?
If you were somewhere else,
Then you won't have to die."
Well, I said not a word
Though it meant my life
For I'd been in the arms
Of my best friend's wife

Oh, she walks these hills in a Long Black Veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me

Oh now, the scaffold was high
Eternity is near
She stood in the crowd
And shed not a tear

Oh, sometimes at night
When the cold winds blow
She stands by my grave
And cries soft and low.

She walks these hills in a Long Black Veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me

She walks these hills in a Long Black Veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me

Nobody knows but me...

Nobody knows...
Nobody knows...
Nobody knows... but me.
