Musical Monday

I can only listen to the radio for so long, because I guess I'm a little snobby about music sometimes.  I spend most of the time in my car listening to NPR and mix CDs and wishing my iPod would work again.  When I do listen to the radio, it's a station that plays mostly catchy pop songs.  Those are okay sometimes, but those aren't the songs that have stuck with me.  The ones that I go home and download are usually ballads.  Here are two that I've been really into lately-
