If I had to listen to only 10 songs, for the rest of my life, and never hear any other songs ever again... I think these would be them.

• Louis Armstrong - La vie en rose
• Elton John - Tiny Dancer
• Beirut - Elephant Gun
• The Arcade Fire - My Body Is A Cage
• Ludwig van Beethoven - Symphony No. 7 in A Major, II. Allegretto
• Billy Joel - Scenes From An Italian Restaurant
• Sam Cooke - Nothing Can Change This Love
• Jamie Lidell - Multiply (In A Minor Key - Piano by Gonzales)
• I CAN'T COMMIT TO A 10TH SONG, so here are the three in the running:
  • matt pond PA - Last Song
  • Sufjan Stevens - Casimir Pulaski Day
  • Andrew Bird - Lull

Honorable mentions:

• Claude Debussy - Clair de lune
• Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea
• Death Cab For Cutie - Brothers On A Hotel Bed
• Iron & Wine - The Trapeze Swinger (a live version, likely)
• Sting - I Need You Like This Hole In My Head
• The Decemberists - Of Angels And Angles
• The Kamikaze Hearts - Half of Me

So, on second thought, maybe this should have been a "20 songs" list?
