funny when you're dead how people start listenin'

i like paige's blog about music and songs that mean alot to her or move her.
so, i'll tell you which songs mean a lot to me. not ones i just like; but ones that have a meaning behind them that has affected me in the past or present, that remind me of someone or a time, or that just completely alter my mood when i hear them.
i won't tell you why but i'm sure by the title or if you know the song and you know me, you could probably figure it out...or maybe not.
