One of my favorite songs

There are so many songs I like that naming one as my favorite above all others is impossible; however I can say that "Tears From the Moon" by Conjure One is a definite contender. It starts out with a smooth, mystic, eastern feel and violins joining in. This feel intensifies as soon as drums start in place of the violins shortly before the voice of the girl joins and begins to twist and slide with the music as she tells her story. The first words are "Couldn't sleep, so I went out walking [pause] thinking about you and hearing us talking [pause] and all the things I should have said [pause] echo now inside my head [pause] I feel something falling from the sky, I'm so sad I made the angels cry, tears from the moon [pause] fall down like rain, I reach for you [pause] I reach in vain..." guitars and the violins provide emphasis that mingles with her voice or the pauses between words. This song is a great blend of tempo, lyrics, voice, instruments (synthesized and real), and variation that is wonderful to listen to. As beautiful as it is the list of songs that I like just as much as it would take more than two hours to listen to not counting repeated plays of the ones that seem too short ("Ebudae" by Enya for example).
