I Need Some Song Recommendations!

[modisess]

Hey guys, man it's been awhile. Anyways, I have this dinner thing happening in about 3 weeks and one of the organizers asked if I could perform a few songs during the function itself. So yeah, I really need some suggestions of good acoustic songs or songs that would be great in acoustic to play.

I am probably going to perform alone but if a friend(she) of mine can make it for the function then there will be the two of us.

I've already got like 20+ maybes and 2 confirmed songs here. I needs me more suggestions though. Mostly likely I'll be playing about 5 songs or maybe six.

The two confirmed songs are, Maps by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and also Duet by Rachael Yamagata & Ray Lamontage. I think that should give you guys a theme for the kind of songs I wanna be playing on that night.

Have you been practicing Maps or tried playing it on acoustic yet? Perhaps my capacity for abstract thought might just be overly limited, but I can't imagine that going over well, due partly to the extreme amount of repetition and high reliance upon a variety of instruments. It's a fantastic song, but yeah*.

My recommendations are Furr by Blitzen Trapper and The Engine Driver by The Decemberists.

There's actually an acoustic version of it in youtube. It's one of the AOL sessions, it's played at a slower tempo. I actually prefer the acoustic version to the original, missed the awesome drums though. Thanks for the links, I'll be checking them out.
