    The Lost Highway from the What It Is cd single. Haunting lyrics and that incomparable MK guitar playing. An absolutely beautiful song.

    Re: Instant Songs

    Most of them are love at first hearing. If I have to pick some, then:

    1.Postcards from Paraguay

    2. Industrial Disease

    3. So Far Away

    4. True Love Will Never Fade

    5. Heavy Fuel

    But the song that swept me off my feet when I first heard it is The Fish and the Bird. It makes me think of medieval ballads and all the stories I read as a child. By the way, I liked the story written somewhere earlier, about wedding songs. I think I will choose All That Matters for my wedding theme.

    Hello Wannee: I also think "My Parties" is a great song...Everything Mark has done is fantastic and that's why he has to be the most talented musician of the 20th century......Best regards....................."Well this is my back yard, my back gate, I hate to start my parties late"......Yes

    earliest...

    Skateaway. I loved the sound effects and laughter of Mark in this song.

    It also got me in my car, driving and making movies of myself zipping through the sky much like rollergirl. So I credit this song in part to aiding my imagination. ( may rollergirl be dancing in another realm)

     Tunnel of Love, same thing

    and of course Romeo and Juliet

    I read something interesting about DS in before hearing them, so I payed attention when I first heard Lady Writer on the radio, but it didn't leave any remarkable impression.

    A few days later I heard Sultans on the radion, and that was it.

    Yes, The Long Highway is one of them, for sure!!!

    I remember first hearing it during the encore in 1996 at the Antique Amphitheatre in LYON, and being instantly caught by the song.
