when the power went out I was enjoying Haus am See (House by the Lake) by Peter Fox. it's in German but a fun listen. it's been soothing to have a melody in my head and fun to make up Sandy-related lyrics. glad to have power back to listen to wnyc!

Which Kanye song was it tonight?

I think Pat Metheny's "Estupenda Graca" captures both the sadness but also the hope that comes from an event like Hurricane Sandy.

I feel such deep seated sorrow and pain for those who have lost so much. It's physically painful to watch the news now that our power and cable are back. I cannot believe what I am seeing. My roots are in NYC (my mom is from Staten Island, dad raised in Manhattan) although we now live in Orange County, NY. We are praying for our fellow New York and New Jersey neighbors.

The one song that comes to mind for me is the haunting yet hopeful:

Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
by Elton John

God bless.

Remembering the fuel crisis from the early 1970's, listen to "Get That Gasoline" by NRBQ.

Dar Williams Mortal City is a great suggestion!

Suggestion - It keeps rolling in my mind - REM's Everybody hurts- it is a song that comforts people who are lonely and overcome- yet it makes you feel hopeful- waiting for power to come on!
Thanks

My heart and prayers go out to all who are suffering as the result of 'Sandy.' Despite all the hardship, loss, and suffering however this is still a wonderful world we live in. So, I would like to hear and dedicate Sachmo Armstrong's "Wonderful World" to all your listeners.

Gratefully, Sister Martha
Maryknoll Sisters - Ossining, NY (Westchester County)

Bruce Springsteen's music evokes the spirit of New Jersey for me, especially the Jersey shore. I think Bruce may have been particularly prescient when he recorded the song, "Sandy."

One Little Song - Gillian Welch
The Predatory Wasp.... - Sufjan Stevens
Toumani Diabate -- ANY song from New Ancient Strings
Django Reinhardt -- It was so beautiful, or anything at all
Crosby Stills Nash Young -- 4 & 20

I always listen to this song in times like this...

"Everyone Is Good" by The Roaches

I would like to be a person who does not judge
Free to be me whatever that might be
I don't want to hold a position, don't want to hold a grudge
'Cause it seems to be the cause of a lot of misunderstanding
Heartbreak misery

Looking in your eyes you're different from me
Why does it have to be that one of us is better
Can't we both be beautiful even if we don't agree
Like the flowers in the garden and the animals in the wood
Each one with a purpose and each one is good

Everyone is good

Nobody's God says hate your neighbor
Even if the neighbor doesn't believe in God
Put aside your religion do your God a favor
And wouldn't it be something to be loving and kind
Forgive yourself for everything having once been blind

Everyone is good

How about “You're the storm" from The Cardigans "Long gone before daylight". Their singer Nina Persson has been a NYC resident for several years now. You could follow that with "Feathers & Down" from the same album. For all my friends who are still in the dark in Jersey or New York.

Don't Give Up - Peter Gabriel w/ Kate Bush
For all those souls who begin the long journey to rebuild...
Who may be turned away by some, you will find friends & solace, please hold on & keep going.

In the dark, with conford food, a cozy thrown, my lovely wife, and NPR. Arenita azul, fromLila Downs, helped me to feel a bit better, thanks for such a great pr po gram.

Song Enya-may it be

This songs makes us stronger for a better hope of brightening light every day after a dark night.

Hi. My husband called in earlier to request a song, out of the woods, by public image Limited. The reason this song was so important to us during these past few days, is that it's a battle song. Just when you think you cannot put another foot on another stair in another dark stairwell, somehow you manage to do it. The song is about Jackson, and a major Civil War battle. Jackson stood in the woods because he could and he would. (some lyrics!) In the same way, we have stood our ground. Yes there have been casualties. Yes there has been destruction. But in New York, we are fighters, and we won't give up. Out of the woods! From Paul Woods and Catherine English on beaver Street in lower Manhattan.

Addendum to my earlier post... I also want to extend my song dedication to NJ, all the other states and even provinces in Canada that were affected by Sandy. It was a brain fart, when I only listed NY.
I hope everyone is warm, dry and has a full tummy tonight and every night going forward.
XO
M

Andrew WK's "Got to Do It"

Ann Peebles > I CAN'T STOP THE RAIN. Not so much a comforting song as a soulful slice of reality which should not be forgotten after the clean-up when hopefully we'll explore how to minimize future deluges.

Thanks for the light WNYC.

I am an avid NPR listener, listen to at least 4 hours a day. However when my area was evacuated I forgot my radio. Now I know I am home because I get to listen to the great NPR programing. I particularly love the eclectic music selection for tonight's show, it is truly the music for everyone tonight. The song that is always uplifting for me is Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, it is the best song to sing in any situation

My favorite band for the past few years is Tinariwen, the Touareg band. Their album, Aman Iman, Water is Life, leads off with Cler Achel, a song about the Touareg suffering in the 1980s droughts. We were deluged with water, but they wanted water. Even though I cannot understand their lyrics, but I love their sound. Right now I would settle for desert warmth as I sit in my cold apt.

Stand by Me performed by John Lennon
A time for support for and with friends, loved ones, caring neighbors and those in need..
"When the night has come, and the land is dark, and the moon is the only light we see.."

Gogol Bordello - "Oh No." It's an amazing song, about partying when the lights go out, and the importance of remembering how to be a community when the lights come back on.

Been listening to Jack Rose's album "Kensington Blues"...especially the songs "Sunflower River Blues" and "Cathedral et Chartres".

In keeping with the mood of longing and despair with a bit if hope, Bruce Springsteen's Atlantic City. Not a huge fan, but a beautiful song and appropriate I think.

the basis of my inner soundtrack out here in brooklyn has been RIDERS ON THE STORM, by the Doors. i'm sure i'm not alone.

second to that, has been Doc Watson's THE TENNESSEE STUD---i think because its about a badass (in this case, a horse) who triumphed over, shall we say, circumstances... played by the best blind fiddle-playing musician i've ever heard (and i've heard him live many many times)... when i'm in trouble, i reach out to the music of my bluegrass roots in athens, Georgia. i love brooklyn and it's my home now, but sometimes when my heart aches for my new home (like it does this week), i want to sing it a song full of the strength and vigor of the bluegrass country i hail from. so new york city, this one's for all y'all---and the horse you rode in on

thanks sound check , what a great program

I still don't have power here in ct (norwalk), but through the wonderful planning of my incredible hubby, we're sufficiently powered by a generator we purchased during the noreaster of '09.

Earlier this evening I saw at least 25 work trucks from Canada on my street and thought, "these guys have traveled hundreds of miles away from family and loved ones to assist us with our power outages," and really can't help but feel for them, despite my own frustrations. The song that really came to mind for me was Los Lobos, "The Valley." The sentiment behind the words really resonates. On a side note, I am thrilled to have Soundcheck back on the air after a hiatus. I heart you, John! Rock on.

Was making Halloween dinner for friends -- lucky to have power here in Windsor Terrace, BK, hosting evacuees from East Village, one of them a 6 year old dressed as a goth girl with green hair and blood around the eyes, and 3 neighbors and BK-ites, kept listening to Sir Duke. So grateful for light, heat, food, friends. The song underlined that feeling.

Huey Lewis's Happy To Be Stuck With You...it kept my boyfriend and I dancing and happy while we were literally stuck in the house together. I remember my father saying, "How can this be a love song?!? It's awful!" and just laughed and laughed at the memory. It's not about the pretty part of love. There's an honesty to it that many of us felt while staring at that "person we love" in a teeny tiny space for the 6th day in a row. We've been through some ups and downs, but boy I would want to be stuck with no one more than him. Ever.

Despite all the damage and loss, I feel like New York is New York, a place full of people who are always fiercely alive, through thick and thin, and there is nothing like Tom Wait's raspy, poetic voice to remind you of that fact, like in a fitting song, "In The Neighborhood".

Love the special show, but we're getting frustrated hearing only short excepts. Play more music, less talk. And how about a little Stevie Wonder - Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing. Seems appropriate.

"Over There" by Terence Blanchard is a mournful yet inspiring and trancendant piece that he played in a benefit concert for Katrina. I think its appropriate now.

Never has a tune been more fitting than Power Out by the Arcade Fire. Even though I had power.

A few years ago I came across this song on a sampler CD. It would have been the song, if I could write such wonderful lyrics, and sing so beautifully, the song I would have written and sung for my Grandmother Delphine. I want to dedicate it to all the New Yorkers who are suffering right now due to Sandy.
Artist: Candi Station
Song: I'll Sing A Love Song

Really enjoyed part one last night. The cello concerto was nice - it was used in the film AUGUST RUSH.

We just got our lights back in the East Village around 5 PM. Hooray!

To all the great folks who are coming in from all over the country - both military and civilian - to assist in our recovery...Thank you!

I’m reminded of a song by Nancy LaMott - “Help is On the Way”

Ron

The most soothing song I know is from the soundtrack of a movie called Amandla!, which is about the music that defined and propelled the anti-apartheid movement. The song is called The Untold Story, and it's sung by the amazing Sibongile Khumalo wit the lush, clear piano of Themba Mkhize. I hope you enjoy it.

Gasolina by Daddy Yankee.

This was playing at the grocery store in my neighborhood today, and the literal meaning of these lines seemed oh so timely: La gasolina! Dame mas gasolina! Just minutes later, I saw a man rushing down the street lugging one of those suddenly familiar (and precious) red plastic gas jugs.

O-o-h Child by The Five Stairsteps....

"Kathleen" by Townes Van Zandt, a song invoking the wind, a lack of sunshine, and the ocean's roar. Played it on my iPod during the blackout in JC.

Like a Hurricane - Neil Young

Any song by Rosanne Cash - she lives in NYC and would know what to sing.

How about "Flashlight" by Parliament-Funkadelic?

I was suppose to get married this weekend in Hoboken,but obviously this will not happen. I would love to hear Coldplay, Everythings Not Lost from the album Parachutes

La Vida (SI La Vida Me Da Palo) - Mano Negra
"If life beats me down / I'm gonna stand it"

Speaking of Hoboken. Thought of the native sons/daughter Yo La Tengo's 'Our Way to Fall'.

"Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing" by Stevie Wonder (I think).

Saw this too late on Twitter to influence anything, but I hope you remembered and did "How high's the water, Mama? Five feet high and rising." You're dad's memory of a childhood disaster turned into family story and triumph couldn't be more atropos. Now, go slop some hogs or something suitable for the new New York...

The work that comes to mind in this Sandy aftermath is from legendary jazz composer Freddie Redd titled "Lonely City". I am a jazz bassist who had the great fortune of having been introduced to Freddie by the great Philly Joe Jones on a gig in Washington DC. Shortly thereafter, Freddie asked me to fill in for the rehearsals for several recording dates he had, which included "Lonely City". The track features saxophonist Clarence "C" Sharpe, a legend of the East Village in the 80's, introduced to the scene on Lee Morgan'N first date in 1957(?). C delivers a particularly poignant rendition, capturing Freddie's intent like he never imagined. Also on that date is "After the Show", which might appropriately be renamed "After the Storm"! I was subbing for George Duvivier in the rehearsals. When getting paid, I also received an invitation to the recording date, which was at Rudy van Gelder studios. I was particularly interested in observing The great Mr. Duvivier sight read this complicated music, was rewarded way beyond my expectations! New York is incredible!

Please play "Here comes the sun," with George Harrison et al . One of the extended jam versions like Prince's Trust. Or "Stand by me," maybe the Playing for Change version because it's all about people coming together and making music together. Thank you.

Accidently sent before I could comment.

Varttina-- The Village Awaits the New Moon. Always lifts my spirits in sad times.
Pink-- Try from her new CD. Kicks butt and makes me want to help get things done.

Springsteen's "No Surrender," please.

"Estupendamente" by The New Raemon. A song about surviving tough period in a relationship. Catalan artist who sings principally in Spanish

Keith Jarrett's Koln Concert - any piece - uplifting, soulful, soothing. Always my first choice for healing.

I am a professional musician living on 29th st and 8th ave and im listening in the dark and need to conserve my phone battery!! Please play "waters of march" by Antonio Carlos job in!!

Lee Oskar "before the rain"...uplifting..

Cannonball Adderly's "Mercy Mercy Mercy"
and
Morrissey's "Everyday is like Sunday"

How about "This City" by Steve Earle? Though it is about New Orleans, it is now very applicable to NYC.

What's old is new again...
Can't get 'After the Gold Rush' - Neil Young out of my head since this all started and it's still in my storm soundtrack

omg...i was also thinking of Jackson Browne's "After the Deluge".
there is a lonesome, defeated, singular tone in his voice and it's fitting these days where the death toll from the storm keep rising.
By the way: if you want to do something against climate change - Change your diet. Diet plays a heavy role in climate...Cows are very cute, but cow consumption...not cute for the earth.

It may be a bit teeny-boppy, but I find the song "Safe & Sound" by Taylor Swift and The Civil Wars very comforting. These lyrics in particular seem apt:
"Don't you dare look out your window, darling,
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
Gone"

For fun, I'd suggest "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on my Head" by BJ Thomas

2 weekends ago I saw an upcomming band at the CMJ music fest called The Modern Electric. Bought the cd and now up in Hastings on Hudson with electicity but no cable or internet ,the CD player and the radio are saving us. The song David Bowie (save us all) is definitely keeping us moving and dancing in the kitchen. Its great to have some new music to break in!

PS the crank radio I got as a thank you gift from the last NPR fund raising drive was also an amazing help during our power outage on day one.

First-thank you all at WNYC for providing a psychological platform of rationality within a suddenly chaotic, potentially insane cauldron-you deserve to hear beats of appreciation, as you calmly and joyfully express intelligent contemplation and tranquil reflection. Please play Shannon by Henry Gross who expresses a clearly understood sense of loss-with everlasting love....

A few songs have been rotating on my inner (and outer) iPod:

Heartbeats by Jose Gonzalez (and the Sony Bravia Bouncy Ball video.)

Somewhere Over the Rainbow, the Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo version

And a song that always gets me up when I'm down: "That's the Joint!" by Funky 4+1

"I Can See Clearly Now" by Johnny Nash offers a bright ray of hope that acknowledges "all the obstacles in my way." Gone are the dark clouds, it's gonna be a bright sunshiny day -- after we get past all the obstacles in our way.

High Water Rising by Bob Dylan.Yplifting sound but persistent-like the storm and its aftermath.

On my third walk uptown and back again followed by one more climb up 15 flights hauling a few gallons of water, what food I could find (raiding the fridge in my office), my newly charged laptop, and other necessities for camping in my fiance's apartment, the Rolling Stones' 'Beast of Burden' helped me hike back up to our high-rise tent for a night by candle light listening to the radio and making the best use of my two hours battery life online.

Oh, and I forgot, 'Electricity' by OMD, carbon fuels from the sea, never more to be free.

Here Comes the Sun. - Beatles
Or the Ritchie Havens version.

I think of the great randy Newman song Louisiana. Although more appropriate to Katrina it certainly has profound meaning to to sandy.

Jackson Browne's "After the Deluge". I'm listening to you on a transistor radio I purchased eight days ago in expectation of Super Sandy. No power, no heat, no idea when this ordeal will end - but thank God for music and WNYC. Kathleen

The ever-annoying John Schaefer for two hours? For two evenings? On AM and FM?

I'd rather hear Sandy's screeching and howling winds, thank you very much.

Another that comes to mind..."Lean on Me" by Bill Withers. Very appropriate.

I know many will request this but I couldn't resist..
In honor of NJ, which took such a hit in this storm...
Please play "Sandy (The Boardwalk, Fourth of July)"
By The Boss Bruce Springsteen

Met Rosanne recently through our mutual friend George K. Love her!

I think it's time to play springsteen's Sandy, Asbury Park, 4th of July.

Marco, from North Salem, in the dark, by the fire.

Varttina- The Villge Awaits the New Moon.
Pink-- Try

Is it cheesy to request 'Fixing a Hole' by The Beatles? I'm so heartened to see EVERYONE working to reconstruct these streets & houses, & it just keeps me going.

My husband, Aaron, is an artist on New Amsterdam Records, and they all pitched in to build out a great little performance and office space in a Red Hook warehouse, but tons of equipment, instruments, and albums in storage were destroyed by all the polluted sea water that flooded the whole space. One of the label's founders, the composer, Sarah Kirkland Snider, put out an amazingly lovely album last year called Penelope (referring to Odysseus's wife) which is an operatic song cycle featuring Shara Worden of "My Brightest Diamond". I love the song, "Nausicaa" for its hopeful, seafaring theme...and I think it would be a fitting tribute to feature a song by someone who has poured her heart into this project (along with Judd Greenstein and Bill Brittelle), especially when the theme of her whole album are so appropriate to the situation the whole family of musicians down in Red Hook now face in Sandy's aftermath.

So I ended up being with my friends and neighbors more than listening to the radio or watching tv - and even though I missed "my music and the news = that I had been glued to before the power went off = I gained a closeness with the people who live near me. We shared food, waited in line for gas for the one generator that we shared among families, spent time together just being together - precious and priceless. Now the power is back on and I want to hold on to that sense of community.

One that immediately comes to mind is "The Landscape is Changing" by Depeche Mode. A little geeky, but appropriate.

How about Dylan's Down in the Flood (greatest hits vol 2 version)

How is it that no one has posted "It's Raining Men", by the Weathergirls? It's been on my mind throughout the entirety of this lonely hurricane...

Exhausted by Joseph Arthur. These last four days have been just how JA says it!

"Someone Saved My Life Tonight" Elton John

How about Dylan's Down in the Flood (greatest hits vol. 2 version)

Well! I am not running in the marathon on Sunday but my training starts tomorrow as i will be walking from Park Slope to Manhattan to catch a bus to the upper east side. I will probably be jammin to Cat Power-Manhattan.

On this fourth night without power, I am hearing in my head the achingly poignant voice of Roberta Flack singing "Suzanne takes you down to a place by the river...." Will you play it, please?

Not to play to your guest, but In times of profound trouble I always find myself turning to the Carter Family's "Can the Circle Be Unbroken" It's always gotten me through bad times.

How bout "Shelter from the Storm" by Bob Dylan. I heard this on the anniversary of September 11th. It's political themes seem pertinent right now as they did then. Hope this helps to give people a little relief.

For all those folks out there waiting and hoping for someone to help--think Hoboken--and wondering if they are high on the priority list, Randy Newman's "Louisiana 1927." This version (from the "Our New Orleans" tribute album):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGs2iLoDUYE

The Power by Snap! Because it got kinda hectic.
Here Comes the Rain Again by Eurhythmics

Don't Rain on My Parade by Barbra Streisand

Downeaster Alexa - Billy Joel
Five Years - David Bowie

Three of four songs come to mind: first Sandy from the movie Grease, also bob Dylan's "Hurricane," because it was a song about someone who Dylan believed was innocent but he was much more complicated than Dylan originally believed. Also, After the Deluge.

I'm a native New Yorker living upstate on my 4th day of no power.

Touch of Grey by the Grateful Dead

I've had "Gimme Shelter" by The Stones in my head since Monday. Have had it on repeat as I walk over the Williamsburg bridge each day to deliver supplies to the shelters. The whole experience has really diluted my anger at not getting tickets to their New Jersey shows....

Every time I see that picture of a blacked out manhattan with the empire state building lit up, it's almost like a guiding light. The Beacon by A fine frenzy comes to mind, the lyrics go "let me stand by you, honor is mine/loneliest light"
Another inspiring favorite is 'be still' by the fray. Thanks for having this program. NPR has been stellar through out this time!

Speaking of Ok Go, their song "This Too Shall Pass" (the live, marching band version) sure would help this girl in the dark Financial District feel a little lighter. Would also help me carry my water up those 11 flights of stairs...

How to get through the rest of this?

A little optomistic joy, Jorma Kaukonen singing- I am the Light of the World
and add
Fiona Apple- I'm an Extraordinary Machine!!

and love to Rosanne Cash please.
thanks.
NYC Pioneer Woman 2012/NYCPW2012

Broke down palace by the grateful dead

After The Rain, by John Coltrane

"Here Comes the Flood," with it's prologue track "First Inaugural Address," by Robert Fripp. Cheers, as much as is possible right now.

Simple Mind's - Don't You Forget About Me
My roommate and I are in our 4th day of no power, no water and aside from us just being Breakfast Club heads, this is our way to remind the government and ConEd to not forget about all of us without power and water that these elements need to be restored just as quickly as the public transportation has been. So people can really feel like their back to normal, instead of just keep telling us that we will get back to normal.

Man. "The Only Living Boy In New York" really got me. That was played at a late friend's memorial service last year in NYC. What a perfect song.

I suggest "Of Montreal - A collection of poems about water"

This band's early stuff always cheered me up. This one is a uniquely whimsical and simultaneously sad little ditty.

http://youtu.be/vBySiV8Vyg0

'Touch of Grey' by The Grateful Dead. Thank you.

"Rise" by PiL

I think Billy Joel's Miami 2027 is always perfect for remembering how NYC will always recover after disaster and tragedy strike. Even after "Manhattan sank out at sea..."

Please share with your listeners "head above water" by Ryan montbleau from his new album for higher

Okay, how about "Over The Rainbow" performed by Jane Monheit?
Why? Because it's a beautiful song and Jane Monheit's voice is very soothing.

And, the most obvious reason, after it rains, there's a rainbow!

Galveston flood by tony rice
Muddy water by the seldom scene
In from the storm by Joni hendrix

LED Zeppelin "When the Leave Breaks" that harmonica sweeps like the water came in.

Bach's Air -- soothing and inspirational

We Will Become Silhouettes by the Postal Service. I never really noticed the lyrics until Monday evening when the storm was bearing down on the city.

Eric Johnson - Nothing Will Keep Me From You
always a favorite, but key through the storm's ordeal

Nick Lowe's cover of Tom T Hall's "Shame On The Rain"
does it for me right now. Just sums up all my feelings
right now.

Also Johnny Cash's "Five Feet High and Rising"

Some frank sinatra Come Fly with me
And Gene Kelly singing in the rain
And lastly seasons of love from RENT

Ain't Got No -- I Got Life, Nina Simone from remixed and reimagined

"Fields of Glory" by the Ostinato Brothers.

A send up to the awesome power of human empathy, compassion and selflessness: exactly what New Yorkers are exhibiting toward one another in these difficult days.

How beautifully appropriate...

Springsteen's Sandy

Under the Boardwalk

You can't go wrong with "Let It Bleed." The Stones at their soothing best.

Said I wasn't going to comment anymore, yet here I am.

For me, Minnie Driver's "Everything I've Got In My Pocket" is very soothing.

Tomorrow off quincy jones' back on the block album. Feel good tune with a hopeful message. Hope for a better day will help get us through.

Would like to hear "One of our Submarines" by Thomas Dolby. I saw him at MoogFest in Asheville, NC on Saturday night then raced home to NJ to get home to my family. This song (as Dolby explained) was written as a dedication to his uncle, who died in a submarine in WW II. I haven't heard this song in at least a dozen years despite owning it on CD somewhere... Yesterday, I was on Staten Island collecting ice and milk; my ears perked up when I heard the song for the second time within a week. My thoughts go out to all of those who have suffered loss.

Fire on the Mountain - Grateful Dead
Aloha Oi - John Cash

40 Days and 40 Nights by Muddy Waters

The Storm Is Passing Over

any good gospel version.

Beware of Darkness - George Harrison

"You'll never walk alone" would seem appropriate for the occasion.

"Westwind"-- from Nina Simone Remixed & Reimagined
"You Shook Me All Night Long" -- ACDC
"Life Has Just Begun"-- Audra Kubat-- Million Year Old Sand

The Wheel by Rosanne Cash

How about "There's Got to be a Morning After" from The Poseidon Adventure.

I have a tune to offer from our scrappy Chicago string band to all of the powerless on the east coast: Enjoy!!http://www.reverbnation.com/3rdsundaystringband/song/11713237-i-want-my-electricity

This will be my final comment. ;)

Pretty much any song on Caribou's "Up In Flames" album.

Also, the Four-Tet Remix of the song "Melody Day" by Caribou is pretty post-apocalyptic.

Got one for post-storm:

"I've Lived On a Dirt Road All My Life" by Caribou

Hey John! How are you after the storm? I picked two songs, which came on during the storm on my shuffle. I guess they are not post-storm, but hope you will consider them:

"Sandy" by Caribou
and
"Have you ever seen the rain" by Credence C.R.

All my best,

Maya

During the storm I was listening to Moon of Manakoora (Dorothy Lamour) from the film The Hurricane, but yesterday my song was Oh, Heavenly Salvation, the Kurt Weill song from Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny (Aufstieg und Fall der Stadt Mahagonny).

However the storm came before one of the most important feasts in the catholic (small c intended) church: All Saints Day. I think it would honor those who lost their lives to hear For All The Saints (Sine Nomine). My favorite version, right now, is probably the most camp as well. It's by the The Mike Sammes Singers & The Ted Taylor Organsound.

across the universe-the beetles

Ana Egge - The Flood (OUT PAST THE LIGHTS)
Ana Egge - Storm Coming (ROAD TO MY LOVE)

you should play tomorrow from the broadway show annie

Post your ideas for songs and compositions here! John and the Soundcheck team will monitor this page all day today (Thursday) as we create the playlist for tonight's 9-11 p.m. broadcast.
