I LOVE A LIST

Mmmm, any excuse for a list i always say. Well, todays excuse relies upon the 2nd SOAR Anniversary for inspiration. It is fun to play the 'my fave SOAR song' game but it has its pitfalls for me. My faves change just like everyone elses but i'm also too close to many of the songs and my views get affected by a whole range of things. But, i still love a list.
So, my SOAR SONG LIST for today are the songs that to me are the sign posts of SOAR's songwriting journey these last two years. And i am limiting it to 13 songs, the number that we could play in a one hour show. So, NOT my list of SOAR's BEST or my list of MY SOAR FAVES but just the songs i think most helped us make our musical way at times.


Songs that established our sound and genre.
Peace of Mind
Can't Forget the Day
Early songs that people seemed to like a lot  & that we still play regularly.
Brindabella
Brand New Day
Early serious songwriting phases
Special
Into Magic
Dipping into the SOAR VAULT for some oldies but goodies.
Kansas Skies
Now and Forever
Expanding our style/genres.
Living on the Moon
I Fall
Late 2010 songwriting phase
Willow Tree
Across a Star Filled Sky
Early 2011 songwriting phase - many still to be debuted.
Songbird


OK i'm pretty convinced that song lists are pretty silly - but i'm a list junkie and cant help myself.
If anyone would like to add their own lists, to keep my list company, please do :)


Thanks for reading
Bright

    I store my fav list on Experiment's profile in the note section....I will often IM him in a concert asking what was the title and who wrote that!...So here is my list, but not in any order of preference:

    I Fall
    And The Sun Will Shine
    Protest song living on the moon, someone we know is crying.
    Whispers and answers*
    Whispers awake*
    I'm fallin'
    you're the only one
    Across a star filled sky
    I'll never let you down
    It's your love that saved me
    The Storm
    Traces
    sparrow in the willow
    it's ovah
    Whenever love comes
    "when I was young"
    Now and forever
    Calling in your dreams*
    Empty Houses
    take me with you ( Sound of hello)
    Now and Forever
    willow tree
    Cry the lucky country
    Rise
    Silently
    Mirror's Eyes
    Listen to your tears.

    Just like your song writing is underpinned by life experience, so my favourites are linked to memories and feelings. I think That is why SOAR is my favorite band.
