Well, my first love among Diana songs is "I Remember You," which, incidentally, as if on cue, just came up in my iTunes as I am typing this. (Not THAT big a coincidence, as I have "Top 25 Most Played" list shuffling). I find this so gorgeous, so romantic, it sends chills up my spine so often when I hear it. It is one of the finest songs I have ever had the joy and pleasure to hear.
A less serious, but altogether lovely Diana song is "Popsicle Toes." I doubt there is a funner, laughinger song in her entire repertoire, and in my opinion, she just blows Michael Franks' version utterly out of the water. A delightful romp! "Love Letters" is gorgeous, as is "Dancing In the Dark", which is waaay sexy. Definitely music by which to snuggle and cuddle with someone especially nice. Hmmm. (scratching head) Um, I love "Little Girl Blue," which Diana graced us with in Connecticut last month. Stunningly beautiful. Since last month, when I first really took note of it, this song has worked its way into my Top 25 on the iPod.
Love "Frim Fram Sauce", another delightful, playful one like Popsicle Toes. And I adore "I'll String Along With You." Wow, is all I can say. "Exactly Like You" and "You Call It Madness" are two other lovely ones. I would also include "Let's Fall In Love," "Pick Yourself Up," "I Don't Know Enough About You," "Black Crow" and "I've Got You Under My Skin."
But if the angels ask me to recall the thrill of them all, then I shall tell them "I Remember You."

Every day, to myself I say,
Point the way, what would it be?
I ask myself what's the best thing for you,
And myself and I seem to agree,
That the best thing for you would be me. ...
