Yeah they are -- and while I typically snort with farily powerful disdain at Christian based rock groups, they've always managed to keep it toned down and in the case of a song like this intentionally vague or universal whether they are talking about the person you love, or spiritual love. Its a beautiful song, and of course I interpret it solely in real human terms.
Pick #12, and now for something completely different. Another great song of old, with a nice guitar line and swell vocals too. Great pick for the downer days when you really wish that you weren't actually stuck on a desert island. Everybody has those days, where it was probably better that you just stayed in bed.
Pick # 12 is Everyody Hurts (R.E.M.) Automatic for the People 1992
REM - Everybody Hurts

Good pick, Jespher...I'm obviously on board with that one.
My next pick...
Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town - Pearl Jam - Vs.
Pearl Jam's lack of videos required me to find a live performance:
[yt=Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town]paQOO0KnLGA[/yt]
With bands like Pearl Jam, I have a difficult time picking favorites. There are so many ways I could go here, but I seem to be trending towards simple songs, so I submit this one. I've seen them perform this song at several concerts, and it's one that gets just about every single person in the audience singing along...loudly. Especially on the line, "I just want to scream...HELLO!!" Great, simple song that puts Eddie Vedder's haunting voice on display.

Wierd....Ive had Lifehouse's singles in my itunes ever since they came out but about a week ago i decided to download there entire discography and ever since ive been linstening to the thing religiously....It just find it pretty interesting you'd choose this song right when i start to get really into them.
What I Got - Sublime - Sublime
This is one of those songs that I find it difficult to listen to just once. When it is over, I feel the need to hear it again.

Okay... since the commissioner says so. But, let it be stated for the record, I am only proceeding with my pick based on the belief that the commissioner has made his ruling based on actual knowledge that Proph will not be online this weekend. In the event that this turns out to not be the case, I will be happy to withdraw this selection at Proph's request. Anyway, with my twelfth pick, I select:
[yt=I want my MTV...]aNaKWXqXkhw[/yt]
Money For Nothing - Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms - 1984

Ok, am uncommonly concerned at this point about a couple of mid to late round picks of mine getting snagged by the two unpredictable chaps behind me on this end of the snake, so time to clear one of them off:
[yt=Since U Been Gone - Kelly Clarkson]cdxRS_GyBbM[/yt]
Direct Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdxRS_GyBbM
Since U Been Gone - Kelly Clarkson - Breakaway (2004)
Well Bozz, you can never say I did not dangle this for you. However it really does remain a fun female pop/rock fav for me, and I always love a lady singing a song with a bit of a 'tude. And with Warhawk suddenly deciding to invoke her name...time to take it off the board. Fun video too.
P.S. As an aside, is the band you are working with who cover this called A Day To Remember?

I am switching gears yet again so with my next pick I select:
O Fortuna - Carl Orff - Carmina Burana
[yt=O Fortuna]j3kvtl59jY4[/yt]
This song gets me through the Monday mornings. I love listening to this piece on my way to work in the mornings it makes me think I am going to do something to special.

1) that piece has always been special in its passion, and has been the default choice of a thousand different movie trailer makers;
2) but is it legal in this draft? Not trying to be a party pooper -- its pretty much an everything goes draft, but I'm fuzzy on the classical rules. Could I take Beethoven's entire Symphony No.5?
