"My 3 Songs" for Tuesday

Posted at 1:49 PM on September 11, 2007 by Steve Seel

"These songs would be great to play on a rainy day," says Justin Court from Eau Claire. "I can just picture myself driving in the dreary rain listening to these songs... and crying. Ok, just kidding. Hopefully they aren't too overly depressing. (But) sometimes you just need to listen to some mellow songs when it rains." (Agreed, Justin).

1) Death Cab For Cutie, "Title and Registration"
2) Coldplay, "Green Eyes"
3) Aimee Mann, "Wise Up"
