A Voyage to Remember

So I decided to publish an iMix on iTunes. That is where the link will take you if you have the iTunes program. If you don't have it, then it won't do much. I know that many people don't have it, and while I endorse it as the best way to buy music that doesn't clutter up one's shelves with CDs, I know that many people have not yet found it to be "all that."
While in Europe I decided that I could make a playlist of songs that tell the tale of my journey in an interesting way, so I began putting songs on a list. Some made the final cut while others did not, and one must understand that some of those reasons are more personal than others. One song about the rain just did not seem sufficient, while songs that mean a lot to me may not make the cut simply because they might reveal more of my feelings than I would care to do (or might make me look different than I care to appear). Either way, the final list is here. There are a few songs that made the cut but are not available on iTunes, and therefore do not appear in the iMix, but those are indicated. The order is not perfect, but it is the best I could do, and some of the titles seem to suggest something that is not what the lyrics say, so in order to truly understand the list, some songs just need to be heard; the title is merely the bookcover.
