1. Waterfall - James
2. Wake Up - Arcade Fire
3. Never Had Nobody Like You - M Ward

O.K. this song by the Weakerthans is personal because I happened to have used it for my annual family video. Plus, it rocks!
Anyway, I make this family video every year which is essentially pieced together from short home movie clips, but it's cool now, because we actually have about 8 of them or so in total, which when strung together make a nice little 30 minutes of viewing.
Boy, do my kids ever grow up fast.
