15. Ben Folds Five - Smoke. In this song, Ben Folds convincingly belts the lyrics "Those who say the past is not dead can stop and smell the smoke" as he metaphorically sings of burning a book of memories. He's just always been great. I was fortunate to see Ben Folds Five a couple of times.

16. Built To Spill - Car. BTS very well might be my favorite band, at least from time to time. Something about this song just has a place in my heart. There's Nothing Wrong With Love is a stellar BTS album. There one of the few bands that I'm quite glad they don't seem to ever really seem to change.

17. Jeremy Enigk - Cannons. Jeremy Enigk has always been one of my favorites. Whether it was with Sunny Day Real Estate, The Fire Theft, or on his own, he never - ever fails to discover melodies with his sage voice that move me. I've always thought if the Jeremy Enigk we knew would have been around when Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel were in their Heyday, he would have been right there with them.

18. Paul McCartney/ The Beatles - Blackbird. This song is one of the greatest songs ever written. Such a brilliant chord progression, such beautiful lyrics that connect with anyone and everyone but originally written about African Americans in their plight of deserving equal rights. I had the opportunity of getting to see Sir Paul this past year in concert. Although he could practically be the president, I still hope to one day have tea with this man.

19. U2 - Beautiful Day. - Have you ever heard a song that gets you as stoked on life as this song does? To think they wrote this song in their 40's, after countless other massive, great songs. I can only hope for such a day to write such a gem. U2 are the kings.

20. Jets To Brazil - Sweet Avenue. Punk Rock legend Blake Schwarzenbach is one of the greatest lyricists of the 90-00s underground music scene. There's a line in this song "...Like they handed me my life, for the first time it felt right... for the first time it felt worth it... like I deserved it." Just gives me hope. I love music.

Hi Bryce, Thanks for posting this. I wonder what you think of Something Corporate's Konstantine? Your style reminds me of Andrew McMahon in some ways. You have more Light, though. I just bought Of Men & Angels recently & I've been thoroughly enjoying it. Your lyrics run deep, and I appreciate that. God bless your ministry.
