Sounds familiar :) at our house, it's Latter Days --I used to sing it to my
son to help him nap and this was soon after GDBD came out. And I've used
that cd other times to help him relax, since it has those nice slow songs at
the beginning of it. So we always joke that when he gets older and hears the
beginning of that cd, he'll feel tired and not know why.
The other one for me is Rhapsodie (from Patience). When they did it as the
encore at the recent Hoboken show, I just stood there and cried. That song
has been part of my life for so long now that it has layers of
significance...and the strongest has to do with walking a colicky baby
around a small apartment....
