I mentioned in the best of 2011 that Adele's Someone Like You was a certain type of song. It's one of those heart-string-pulling sons that you (or at least I) listen to on repeat.
Here are a few more. Feel free to add your own in the comments.
1. Foolish Games - Jewel
Best Lyric: You were always brilliant in the morningsmoking your cigarettes and talking over coffeeyour philosohies on art, baroque moved you, you loved Mozart and you'd speak of your loved ones as I clumsily strummed my guitar
2. Someone Like You - Adele
Best Lyric:
3. The Promise - Tracey Chapman
Best Lyric: If you think of me If you miss me once in a while then I'll returm to you I'll return and fill that space in your heart
4. Falling in Love - Lisa Loeb
Best Lyric: 5. Barenaked Ladies
