What song(s) is perfect to you?

Wild Horses...................Gram Parsons song done by the Rolling Stones...........

Every album I've seen this on, be it someone's cover or Sticky Fingers, says written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. One of my favorite Stone's songs though. I think I like the bluegrass version on "Old And In The Way" best.

I'll jump in with a few. Jethro Tull, Thick As A Brick.....the entire album is one song and I wouldn't change a thing. The Grateful Dead (there are so many) but I'll say Box Of Rain and Ripple, both on American Beauty, Crazy Fingers from the Blues For Allah LP and Terrapin Station from the LP of the same name.

I downloaded "Slunky" last week. It is an amazing song, but I am a youngin' so I'll have to go with

Dave Matthews "The Idea of You" I saw them in Boston at Fenway Park and this was the first time I heard it and immediately fell in love with it. It hasn't been released in a studio album yet, hopefully someday.

Los Lobos: Saint Behind The Glass

(David Hidalgo/Louie Perez)

Hammer and a nail
Hammer and a nail
Saint behind the glass
Holds a hammer and a nail

Baby in his arms
Baby in his arms
Saint behind the glass
Has a baby in his arms

Watches me sleep
Watches me sleep
Saint behind the glass
Watches me while I sleep

Coffee in the air
Coffee in the air
Saint behind the glass
Smells coffee in the air

Curtains blowing 'round
Curtains blowing 'round
Saint behind the glass
Sees the curtains blowing 'round

Night upon my head
Night upon my head
Saint behind the glass
Lays night upon my head

Mother don't cry
Mother don't cry
Saint behind the glass
Tells mother not to cry
