The Shins - "New Slang"
That's a pretty song, sidewinder. It's interesting how a gentle, pretty-sounding song can get you. I think "New Slang" has a slight feeling of nostalgia to it...kind of like a happy memory of riding in a convertible with the top down on a coolish summer day under trees with lovely green leaves filtering the sun.

Which I've never done...but the song gives me that open-air, convertible feeling!

Here's a song I heard for the first time recently and was surprised to find it made me cry:

Gaubert - Music for Flute and Piano
