1. copeland - take my breath away
2. the shins - we become silhouttes

Well, it's embarrassing to admit, but because you're the amazing Truday and I'm the incredible g-g-g-geno, I will tell you that one of my favorite cover songs is
Goo Goo Dolls- Give a Little Bit
I also enjoy Mandy Moore's cover of Have a Little Faith in Me.
And of course Copeland- Take My Breath Away.

Almost Better did the most amazing cover of Ashlee's "Pieces of Me."
