Thirteen of my favourite songs. Well, 13 that the automatic “highest rated” thingy picks out. So it may not actually be that accurate as I haven’t gotten around to rating all the songs on the mp3player. But whatever Óró Sé Do Bheatha ‘Bhaile - Sinead O’Connor[1] Also was used in The Wind That Shakes The Barley Returns a King - Tyler Bates, from the film 300 youtube You cut her hair - Tom McRae Youtube Debaser - Pixies YouTube American Dreaming - Dead Can Dance YouTube Chicago - Sufjan Stevens YouTube How You Remind Me - Maria Doyle Kennedy. This is a cover song from Todayfm’s Even Better Than The Real Thing series. Can’t find it on YouTube, so instead I’ll link to a different song by her. Marrying the Sea - Declan O’Rourke. Again, this doesn’t seem to be on Youtube, so instead you get Galileo Happy Ending - Mika YouTube with Ice-skating Bis du bei Mir - Natalie Dessay. From the film Joyeux Noel which I again can’t find on youtube so instead you get this Hurt - Johnny Cash YouTube Contessa - Thea Gilmore GoogleVideo The Letter - Kristin Hersh youtube Links to other Thursday Thirteens!
