《For a Dancer》

我第一次听到这首歌是在280号公路上开车时从车载收音机里听到的，我开始哭泣。那时我还没有听过很多Jackson Browne的歌，只是被歌词震撼了。从那以后我听了他更多的歌，但这首仍然是我最喜欢的。

《Little Green》

这是Joni Mitchell写的一首自传式歌曲，关于把女儿送养。也许是因为我是被收养的，这首歌比其他任何歌都更能打动我。在我意识到这首歌是关于什么的之后，每次听到它我都会哭。她写这首歌时很年轻，但这首歌仍然是她众多伟大歌曲中最出色的之一。

《I Get A Kick Out of You》

来自Ella那张无与伦比的《Cole Porter Songbook》专辑。

《All I Have to Do is Dream》

这首歌在我很小的时候很流行，我记得在我父母听的时候我也听着，这唤起了美好的回忆。这是从50年代到60年代的过渡期——Buddy Holly去世了，披头士还没出现，像The Everly Brothers这样的乐队很好地填补了这个空白。

For a Dancer

I first heard this on my car radio while driving down Highway 280, and I started crying. I had not listened to much Jackson Browne at that time, and was just blown away by the lyrics. I have since listened to many more of his songs, but this one is still my favorite.

Little Green

This is an autobiographical song by Joni Mitchell about giving a daughter up for adoption. Maybe it’s because I’m adopted, but this song moves me like few others. After I realized what this song was about, I cry every time I hear it. She wrote it when she was young, and it remains one of the best of her many great songs.

I Get A Kick Out of You

From Ella’s incomparable Cole Porter Songbook album.

All I Have to Do is Dream

This song was a hit when I was very young, and I remember listening to it as my parents listened to it, which brings back great memories. It was a transition period from the 50s to the 60s -- Buddy Holly was dead, the Beatles hadn’t arrived yet, and groups like The Everly Brothers filled the gap nicely.
