the frickin' FIRST TIME EVER I SAW YOUR FACE roberta flack OR johnny cash
also, darling be home soon by the lovin spoonful, because i'll never forget how it made it a girlfriend of mine cry once when it came up on a mixtape we were listening to on a driving trip.
oh, once upon a time, otis redding's version of merry christmas baby made me cry.
But what gets me though is Tom Petty (old or new). Every song of his seems to be about ditching your life and driving accoss country aimlessly never to return home again.

The Pretz track puts a lump in my throat.
Isleys - Highways of my life
Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway - the closer I get to you (a lot of Donny actually, after knowing how the guy suffered)
