When I tell my itunes to list my songs in order from most played to least the top song reads "River Flows In You" which I have owned for 2 days and already it has been played over 80 times. I wish I could properly explain my love, nay, infatuation with this song. I'm not usually a fan of songs that have no lyrics. This song, though lyric-less, still tells a compelling story--different to every person who listens to it. When I listen to it I find it easy to imagine a meadow and two people dancing in the middle, with leaves falling around them. They're free because no one is watching, and eventually they realize they have to go back to reality, away from the dance.
Other than the beautiful images that form in my mind, this song is ridiculously calming, soothing, comforting. When it plays I feel like all the stress is lifted off my shoulders, like I don't have to worry about how busy the week is... because somehow everything will be ok, everything will get done, and I can sort of dance through life in my own little meadow before returning back to the crazy world.

for me, it's Last Dance by Sarah McLachlan. I totally get it.
