70 Favorite Songs: 45. Proof
Hey, could you stand another drink?
I’m better when I don’t think,
It seems to get me through.
Say, do you want to spin a little line?
Like we had a good time,
Not that I need proof.
Swell, we’re living in a hotel.
Someone’s ringing my bell in a room without a view.
Hey, I heard you read another book?
Should I take another look?
Who am I without you?
Lalalalalalalala…
Composer / Performer: I am Kloot
First Released: 2003
Album: I am Kloot
Genre: Rock
First Heard Them In: Sunshine [Danny Boyle] soundtrack…the song heard over the closing credits (”Avenue of Hope”)
Why I Love It: It’s one of the last additions to the list, care of a Christopher Eccleston obsession that had me watching the video over and over again. (fun fact, this was all done in one take. how good is he?) And then the song got stuck in my head. It’s a beautiful tribute to friendship. I just love the “Who am I without you?” part. (in another version it’s sang as “What am I without you?”)
Also Listen To: “Strange Without You,” “Avenue of Hope,” “3 Feet Tall”
