I've been spending a lot of time lately talking to someone I met recently. She's a wonderful person and I'm really looking forward to meeting her in about a week. We were talking, among many other things today, about music. I realized that I love sharing music with people I care about. There's something really intimate about introducing someone to your favourite song, and telling them why it's important to you, or how you feel about it and why. <\/p>\n

In doing so, I came up with the following CD, which would be the definitive “Music of Richard”:<\/p>\n

1. Harmonium, Dixie
\n2. Stevie Ray Vaughan, Little Wing
\n3. Sting, Shape of my heart
\n4. Daniel Lavoie, Jours de plaine
\n5. Stained, It's been a while
\n6. Peter Gabriel, Don't give up
\n7. Creed, My sacrifice
\n8. Tea Party, Walking wounded
\n9. Stevie Ray Vaughan, Ain't gonna give up on love
\n10. Elle Fitzgerald, Someone to watch over me
\n11. Dire Straits, Your latest trick
\n12. Bet.e & Stef, It's over
\n13. Pink Floyd, Wish you were here
\n14. David Usher, Black black heart
\n15. Dido, Isobel
\n16. Starmania, Les uns contre les autres
\n17. Ella Fitzgerald, Summertime
\n18. Billy Joel, New York state of mind
\n19. Coldplay, Everything not lost
\n20. Rush, Subdivisions<\/p>\n

These are songs that, for various reasons, have some kind of emotinal impact in my life. Now, to be honest, there's tons of stuff that would also fit on there (the complete Dark Side of the Moon album, for starters), but this is as close to a 20-song compilation as I could get. <\/p>\n

As an exercise, gentle reader, what's yours?<\/p>\n
