Favourite Songs

I've decided that these are my three favourite songs:

Suteki Da Ne - Rikki
Vi Er Ett - Lion King II :P
The River - Bruce Springsteen


For your listening pleasure, since it seems legal to download music if it's attached to a video file:

I just love the Norwegian version of this song! I know it's disney and corny but I like it. :)

The River - Bruce Springsteen

Never mind the animation, but the sound will give you a bare idea... it's so much better if you can nab the acoustic live version from Live 1975-1985 (Disc 3) by Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band. It's my favourite rendition; not as bad as some live versions, but this is a song that works better emotionally than crystal clear. It's brilliant in that version, still wonderful in others... :D Remember; With Springsteen, it's 60% lyrics, 40% music... You can forgive the voice, it doesn't have any weight to carry. ;)

The first I heard a long time ago... it is wonderful and beautiful.

Yes, and sad. :) And The River is so very real... it's about teenage pregnancy, but it's beautiful, too... they're looking back to when they were teens, had to drop out and get married, now he works for a construction company, and all their dreams have vanished. The middle one is... okay, but I really like it for some reason. :)

That er, smaller lion voice, whoever sings that, has a beautiful voice.
