While lying in bed last night not going to sleep, I wondered what songs I would pick if asked to name 5 of the many wonderful songs recorded by my favorite band. As an exercise in extreme compression of taste, I ask all of you, "Which are your 5 favorite songs by Daniel Amos?" Naturally, I'll start. 1. Soon! (I cry every single time) 2. Author of the Story 3. The Double 4. Banquet at the World's End 5. When the Moonlight Sleeps 11-18-2004 15:11 .backs. Tallowy Tamale Registration Date: 03-13-2003 Posts: 7,777 Location: "An autoposy will make him into a dorf-o-lantern on the Mesaage Boards ." i think i might agree with you on 1 and 2. 5 would be hard to rule out... but Pool, Hats, Joel, Broken Ladders, Big Bite, Memory Lane, and and and would have to be squeezed in too. __________________ "Dorf can have his monk cakes, I live in a world built on inspirations divined from bonfires." 11-18-2004 15:22 Mountain Fan Ubique Epoque Registration Date: 10-09-2003 Posts: 14,224 Location: NC, Alive and Kicking, BOBD I simply can't pick 5. Every once in awhile I put Soon on repeat and just listen to it over and over. Makes me cry too sometimes. But then Terry's lyrics have a way of that. Have you ever just sat down and read some of them with no music? Great stuff! __________________ Got a few miles left ...

Whenever Joel is playing, I stop what I am doing and listen. I cannot concentrate on anything else. Soon! is probably my second-favorite DA tune. Safety Net comes in third. I have always liked Father's Arms. That string section at the end is great! So I need a fifth. Song, that is. If You Want To? That's a good one. Or Faces to the Window, I like that. Maybe When Everyone Wore Hats. That part in Get Back Aboard the Bus, Aloha where the band goes temporarily insane is really cool. Meanwhile has the best bridge. I love the cowbell on Who's Who Here. Alarma! Author of the Story. Here I Am. Aaaaargh! It's questions like this that drove Berger insane!!!! __________________ "At times this board is a place of thought provoking discussions, but most often it resembles a not quite done Mexican taco." - Jevon the Tall 11-18-2004 20:59 dorfsmith Grand Encephalon Registration Date: 03-24-2002 Posts: 28,142 Location: Everybody needs a persicom Father's Arms is high on my list __________________ http://www.google.com 11-18-2004 21:24 .backs.

My list changes frequently, though the one's I listed are always near the top. It leaves out songs I absolutely love like Ghost of the Heart, Mall (All Over the World), Walls of Doubt, A Sigh for You, Joel, (What's Come) Over Me, Pregnant Pause, Your Long Year, William, Hollow Man, It's the Eighties, If You Want To.................... I didn't know that Soon! topped so many people's lists. That's refreshing to know. 11-19-2004 07:08 dennis Ubique Epoque Registration Date: 09-19-2002 Posts: 13,303 Location: In not-quite earth, in not-quite heaven.
