"I Only Have Eyes For You" - The Flamingos
Catherine Boudreau - Marketing and Public Relations Manager
There is something about this tune that totally gives me shivers. I think it's because I'm a sucker for nostalgia. I tried to find a video clip from the fifties, when it was originally recorded, but at least the afros and polyester suits indicate that they got some great mileage from this song.
"Falling Slowly" - Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova
Catherine Boudreau - Marketing and Public Relations Coordinator.
Have you seen the movie Once? Just beautiful. I love the lyrics to this song. It chokes me up every time I hear it, and not just because of the movie.
"Hallelujah" - Leonard Cohen
Elizabeth Green - Development Support
This song has been covered so many times, especially lately. It's unconventional, but it obviously resonates. This sparked a debate in the office about who does the best rendition. The Jeff Buckley version was another popular favourite.
"I'll Be Your Lover Too" - Van Morrison
Sam Joyce - Tour Coordinator
"Kissing You" - Des'ree
Sam Joyce - Tour Coordinator

"Papagena/Papageno!" - The Magic Flute, Mozart
Andrea Cheng Baker, Development Coordinator
Detlef Roth and Gaële Le Roi perform the Papagena/Papageno duet
"Eternal Flame" - The Bangles
Andrea Baker - Development Coordinator
Thanks to Andrea, we can all be pre-teens again...moonlight skate anyone?
"Beth" - Kiss
Sean Howard - Board Member and Hopeless Romantic
The best part is the orchestra. Talk about commitment to a piece.
"We Are Nowhere and Its Now" - Bright Eyes
