“Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace” Cheap Trick
“Drive” The Cars
“Yellow Brick Road” Elton John
“Band On the Run” Paul McCartney & Wings
“Hold Your Head Up” Argent

"Everything'll Be Alright (Wil's Lullaby)" by Joshua Radin
"Each Coming Night" by Iron and WIne
"9 Crimes" by Damien Rice
"One Moment More" by Mindy Smith
"We Learned the Sea" by Dar Williams

Great Post!
