Patti Smith - Free Money (for the haunting piano intro)
Donna Summer - There Will Always Be a You (it was used as a line for our wedding vows)
New Order - The Perfect Kiss (I kissed my dad on the forehead when his body was laid out for visitation.)
Led Zeppelin - Carouselambra (unfathomable lyrics delivered with Yoda syntax)
Cyndi Lauper - True Colors (some of the best advice ever given:  Don't be afraid to let them show.)
Kate Bush - These Moment of Pleasure (every old sock meets an old shoe)
10,000 Maniacs - These are Days (These days you might feel a shaft of light make its way across your face, and when you do, you'll see how it was meant to be.  See the signs and know their meanings.)
Madonna - Live to Tell (The light that you could never see, it shines inside.  You can't take that from me.)

Though I have a love for "Video Games" after seeing the Smiths "This Charming Man"/LDR "Video Games" mashup on YouTube, it's something magical,  my favorite track on B2D is "National Anthem" - It has everything I love about LDR:  lush orchestration, droning electronics, old timey electric guitar in the mix, beautiful melodies, catchy chorus, and a naïvely slutty personal story line that is a metaphor for life in the 21st Century.  Then there is the supremely unworkable phrase, "give me a standing o-vay-she-uh-uh-uhn."  The whole song is a clumsy graceful mess that really works (for me at least.)

Natalie Merchant Paradise is There (The New Tigerlily Recordings)

I wouldn't recommend it.  It's not awful, but the original is 10,000X better.
