Ya...Fix You and Sing...two great songs by two of my most favoritest bands ever. I would add Til Kingdom come to that list. And a lot of Coldplay...and more Travis.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY like "Faithful To Me" by Jennifer Knapp, too.

By the way, the comment you left on my blog was pretty much exactly what I said in my post. Great minds think alike, huh? ;-)
