I'm going to have to say This I Love is my favorite ballad at this time.
I can't usually can't just listen to an album from start to finish without doing anything else. If I'm not multi-tasking, I have a tendancy to zone out and get sleepy
The first time I listened to this album, I did it without doing any thing else. I didn't want to have an association with something when listening to these songs later on (confusing, I know, but it makes sense to me
)
By the time I got to track 13, I was on my way to zoning out. I was tired and thinking of taking a break before listening to the rest of it. When This I Love started in, it just blew my mind and reinvigorated me. The passion in it just blew me the fuck away.
If only for that shock, it's still my favorite
I can't say it's my overall favorite song on the CD, I really don't HAVE a favorite, I love them all. But in the ballad category, this one is tops in my mind.
