100 Things: 1
I'll tell you the truth, I'd forgotten about this until I had an email notification from Cari, who mentioned it in a comment. I have a brain like a sieve... Its true.
So... It would be impossible for me to rank 100 songs in accending (or decending) order. So I'll just do them as they come to me. If I can link to them on YouTube, I will, but that probably won't always be possible.

Reasons Why I Like It:
- It takes me back to about 2005 when I was still at university. I first heard it via Launchcast Radio on yahoo.com where it popped up as a random selection. This is one of the two songs I ever heard on there that made me stop in my tracks.
- I feel this point needs repeating. Of all the hundreds of new tracks I was exposed to during that time in my life, this is ONE of a total of TWO songs that made me stop.
- It amuses me that I've only ever listened to this one song by this band. I have no desire at all to hear any of their other stuff, if indeed there is any. Are they famous? I have no idea.
- Melodically, it's quite beautiful. That chorus tickles my melodic innards.
- It's a song about not being perfect and admitting that. Redemption because of love.
