[u2popmofo]

Posibilities that may work:

AFI - 'The Leaving Song'
Cake - 'Never There'
The Cure - 'Pictures of You' or 'Homesick'
Clinic - 'Distortions'
Flaming Lips - 'Do You Realize'
The Smiths - 'There is a Light That Never Goes Out'

 

[MrBrau1]

Baby Come Back-Claire

 

[kariatari]

"David Duchovny" by Bree Sharp. Even if DD weren't a sexy mofo, this song would be one of the tastiest pieces of pop plastic ever.

 

[Basstrap]

Do You Realize - Flaming Lips...indeed!

 

[Bonochick]

"The Burrito Song" - Ryan Adams

Always good for a laugh...

 

[Red Ships of Scalla-Festa]

filter - take a picture

electric soft parade - somethings got to give

blur - battery in your leg, crazy beat

 

[HeadsOnSticks]

radiohead: backdrifts or let down
elliott smith: sweet adeline

 

[SkeeK]

I gotta third Do You Realize by tha Lippps. Can't think of anything else off the top of my head, but do keep thinking.. how about Nighswimming by REM?

 

[pax]

Or "Find the River" or "Swan Swan Hummingbird" by R.E.M., too.

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

Saint Etienne - Marble Lions
Blur - The Universal
and of course
Iron Maiden - The Trooper

 

[SkeeK]

Or "Find the River" or "Swan Swan Hummingbird" by R.E.M., too.

i was gonna suggest Find the River.. because it's one of my favourite all time REM songs, but I just said Nightswimming cause of how darn popular it is around here.. and of course it's a wonderful tune as well

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I have nothing in my head as of right now, but just wanted to say you're a cool friend to do that.

 

[sulawesigirl4]

Another One Bites the Dust!

How about...

The Last Broadcast - Doves
Blue - Eiffel 65 (don't ask why, but this song cracks me up)
Time to Say Goodbye - Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman

wow, only 1 of those was a decent suggestion. I suck.

 

[zonelistener]

Dirty Deeds! - AC/DC

 

[Stories for Boys]

last goodbye- jeff buckley...cause it says goodbye...and it's a good song...

i agree with nightswimming/find the river by rem. i'd like to toss in sweetness follows. *shrug*

hmm...perhaps lonesome day by bruce springsteen...

i don't know...those are all i can think of at the moment...

 

[cujo]

Pictures of Lily - The Who.

 

[JOFO]

"fairies wear boots" - black sabbath.



-because I said so.

 

[SkeeK]

Have you done this yet? because if not.. and you hae decided to put Do You Realize on it, by the flaming lips, I strongly recommend you try and find beck's 1.5 minute solo acoustic cover of the song (which is so so pretty and amazing) and then after that bust out the lips' version. it's a really nice transition

 

[brettig]

Goodbyes huh?

If you want to scare them:

All Apologies - Nirvana

Others:

Let It Be - you know who
Goodnight - also by you know who
Should I Stay Or Should I Go - The Clash
Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division
Atmosphere - Joy Division
I Am The Resurrection - Stone Roses
Forever Young - Bob Dylan

 

[Lilly]

skeek- i'll look into that


betty - i've never heard of "you know who" - can you elaborate on their style?

 

[Flaming Friar Sr]

ill fourt the flips do you realize. also second jeff buckley last goodbye. i listened to it this morni9ng and its sooo beautiful. but you must really have a great relationship with your friends or otherwise itll strike them as mushy. too emotional stuff for casual friendship.

 

[IWasBored]

gaelic storm--the ferryman
the pogues--the broad majestic shannon


ok, i know you're not going to put those on there

but defeintly listen to everyone who said you should include "do you realise?"

 

[Lilly]

but you must really have a great relationship with your friends or otherwise itll strike them as mushy. too emotional stuff for casual friendship.

these are my best friends.


only the best for them.
