Casualties by Red Delicious because there is nothing like bodies piled up beside the roadside burning.

Dragging Hooks by Cowboy Junkies, because there is nothing like looking for your drowned loved one in a river with hooked nets.

Missing by Fisher, because there is nothing like getting a call from your exboyfriend's father wondering where his son is (off doing drugs with his friends).

Mary by Fisher because there is nothing like getting in a fight with the life of parties and having her die before she gets the invitation to your party.

Firehead by Devics, because there is nothing like waiting for your lover to get back down off the drugs' high.

I Will Love You by Fisher, because there is nothing like having your song pulled from the romance movie Message in a Bottle, because the song is to romantic.

Connected by a String, because there is nothing like two sisters not wanting to see each other, so are forced to communicate by phone (the string).

The Queen and The Soldier by Susanne Vega because there is nothing like your crush wanting to kill you for not obeying orders.

In Love With a View by Mojave 3 because there is nothing like one person wanting to live in the country and the other wanting to live in the city. I've watched a few marriages disolve for that very reason.
