Favorite Mellow Pop/Rock Songs

Right now, one of my favorites is "Hey There Delilah" from THE PLAIN WHITE T's. Also, just about anything from Guster and Ben Folds does the trick as well.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

I can't help it. I admit I have a soft spot for some of the lame, classic, soft-sational stuff! I heard "The Logical Song" on the way to work this very morning...

I don't have a favorite, but my radio is always tuned to Magic 106.7, a soft rock station here in eastern Mass.

Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia

Hey There Delilah is my favorite right now too. There's a song by Kelly Clarkson that came out a couple years ago that I like a lot too but the name is escaping me right now.

Ooh nice, I just started asking my friends what their favorite pop/rock songs are...I mostly have musical theatre on my itunes and I'm trying to expand. I enjoy stuff like Maroon 5, Matchbox Twenty and Guster, so suggestions of stuff to listen to would be awesome.

Look up "Mama's Room" by Under the Influence of Giants. It's an amazing pop/rock song. I love it.

"Volcano" and "9 Crimes" by Damien Rice
"The Space Between" by Dave Matthews
"Comfortable" by John Mayer

(Those are just the first four songs that shuffled on my mp3 player. It's a wonder I don't fall asleep at work.)

"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen." Conan O'Brien
