Harry Nilsson- Think About Your Troubles

Album: After the Gold Rush (1970)

I heard this song on the film ‘I Love You Phillip Morris’, which is actually pretty funny. This song’s got an interesting sound, with the strings (they are strings, right?) in the intro and the bathtub echoey voice which adds onto the warm and fuzziness of the song. The original of this song, written by Ted Thacker, sounds more country and grounded - but I really like DeVotcha’s approach.

Nina Simone - Either Way I Lose

if you’re in outer space, don’t feel out of place, 'cause there are thousands of others like you, others like you, others like you.

Garbage - ‘My Lover’s Box’

Sparks - Change (1985)

This song was R.E.M.’s first political song, although you probably couldn’t tell by listening to it, since it’s very subtle. It’s about one of the very first oil spills, and in my opinion it is a remarkable song.
