There are a lot more songs on my list, but basically I am attracted to anything with a lot of piano or a bit of blues, or a bit of melancholy. I like songs that tug on my heartstrings. If they make me want to cry, great!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Stairway to Heaven &#8211; Led Zeppelin<\/em>. Guitar! Plus, great social commentary on materialism. Loved playing this on the piano in my twenties.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.azlyrics.com\/lyrics\/ledzeppelin\/stairwaytoheaven.html\" target=\"_blank\">Lyrics<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9Q7Vr3yQYWQ\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><em>Bohemian Rhapsody &#8211; Queen.<\/em> I just love the crazy story in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.azlyrics.com\/lyrics\/queen\/bohemianrhapsody.html\" target=\"_blank\">lyrics<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3p4MZJsexEs\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a>. And Freddy Mercury&#8217;s\u00a0vocals are astounding. As is the whole theatricality.<\/li>\n<li><em>Downstream &#8211; SuperTramp<\/em>. This was the first song my husband and I danced to at our wedding. We each went to university near an ocean\/sea, and when you get to those words in the song, just substitute ocean\/sea with lake &#8211; we each either grew up on a lake or near a lake, or overlooking a lake. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.azlyrics.com\/lyrics\/supertramp\/downstream.html\" target=\"_blank\">Read the lyrics<\/a> and tell me this isn&#8217;t a great song to start a marriage. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ans5Ko3SgWs\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a>. Very romantic, and gorgeous to play on the piano.<\/li>\n<li><em>Breakin&#8217; Me &#8211; Jonny Lang<\/em>. The entire Wander this World CD is amazing. Jonny Lang was very young when he put out this album, and the entire thing captures me, but Breakin&#8217; Me\u00a0is my fav of his songs. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.azlyrics.com\/lyrics\/jonnylang\/breakinme.html\" target=\"_blank\">Lyrics<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ySt-ubYiGw8\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><em>Falling Down Blue &#8211; Blue Rodeo.<\/em> Another song about loss and love.\u00a0These kinds of songs make my heart ache in the most wonderful way. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.azlyrics.com\/lyrics\/bluerodeo\/fallingdownblue.html\" target=\"_blank\">Lyrics<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TPLfTHaGfW8\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><em>Reminiscing &#8211; Little River Band.<\/em> This song came out around the year I met my husband. I was 18 and he 19. I went away to university four months after meeting him, and while we knew we loved each other we didn&#8217;t realize then that we would be spending the rest of our lives together. Once I moved away, he traveled often to see me, and he had me listen to these <a href=\"http:\/\/www.azlyrics.com\/lyrics\/littleriverband\/reminiscing.html\" target=\"_blank\">lyrics<\/a>. He said, &#8220;I want this to be us.&#8221; (With the exception that neither of us knew who &#8220;Miller&#8217;s Band&#8221; was&#8211;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.stevemillerband.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Steve Miller Band<\/a>? Nope). And damned if we aren&#8217;t well on our way. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CZ_3G4xqSDQ\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a>.
