1. The Becoming - Nine Inch Nails
From my favourite album, The Downward Spiral. I just love the duality in that song so much, the thin line between order and chaos, the loss of yourself in a quest for perfection.
2. In Your Eyes - Peter Gabriel
Kind of a cheesey one, but it just sounds so sincere, how one person can only find everything they need in another.
3. Tangled Up In Blue - Bob Dylan
A song about people being pulled together by fate time after time, and how love never really goes away for good, just takes it's time coming back.
4. My Michelle - Guns N' Roses
The perfect twisted love song. Written for a girl who's life was a mess after she confessed her love for Elton John's "Your Song", it's honest about her awful situation and terrible mistakes, but that's what makes it so great.
5. Five To One - The Doors
The most powerful, domineering, cataclysmically confident song I've ever heard. Jim Morrison was the embodiment of fearlessness, especially here.
