Song of the Year - 2001: Echobelly - Ondine

Last New Year's Day, I shared my 2000 Song of the Year, so it seems only fitting that we move on to 2001 this year!

Echobelly's 2001 album "People Are Expensive" is one of those rare perfect albums in my listening history. Towards the end of the album is "Ondine", a beautiful, heart-wrenching ballad. I've spoken about it before on Ooberus back when I did the ABC's of me and you can read that here and it tops my list favorite Echobelly songs. Simply put, I believe this is one of the most beautiful and sad songs ever. Sometimes those two things blend to make perfection.
