Eric-- What Can You Lose is sublime.

But you threw me with Water Under the Bridge. I thought that was for a movie where it was SUPPOSED to be a crappy song, no? (Maybe that was "Dawn" or "Sand". Sorry, but I find all 3 a little tough to take...)

If I absolutely had to pick a favorite, it'd be Being Alive. The Esparza version. That was absolute vocal perfection.

I believe Sand is the song that's meant to be bad, though I would love to hear how Water Under the Bridge is meant to go (with her recording it as a pop song, with counterpart from the composer in the booth, etc). Liza's versionis hard to take, but I love Debbie Shapiro Gravitte's to death.
