  No, no...although it can't hurt right. But seriously, it's a great song. By far the best song based on a name.

  definitely a good one. I've been into Cologne lately...can't stop listening to it for some reason...at least once a day.

  Also excellent! Ben loves to write songs about girls. When I feel really upbeat, I like to listen Julianne.

  Like it! I def do not listen to enough Elvis Costello. Every time I do I dig it, but for some reason don't have too much of his stuff. *adding a note to my to do list*

Valerie (the Amy Winehouse acoustic version)

I will likely have a different answer by the end of the day as I'm extraordinarily fickle when it comes to favorite music.

Isobella by Enya.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTWNWCMGObY

This is about the 'ghost' of a child that visited Enya and
Roma Ryan at the Aigle studio.

Music: Eithne Ní Bhraonáin - Lyrics: Roma Ryan
Language: Irish (Gaeilge)

I do bheatha sa tús, sa deireadh,
I do bheatha sa tús, sa deireadh.
Isobella, o
Isobella, o

I do lá 's tú go sámh
I do lá 's tú go fior.
Grá, anois go deo na ndeor.

I do bheatha sa tús, sa deireadh
I do bheatha sa tús, sa deireadh
Isobella, o
Isobella, o

I do lá 's tú gan buairt
I do lá 's tú gan brón
Grá, anois go deo
Grá, anois go deo na ndeor.

Translation:

Out of morning and into midnight,
Through the sunrise and under moonlight.
Isobella, oh!
Isobella, dream of me.

Everything that comes from day
Comes into the heart to stay.
Love is in your name each day.

In the moment you come before me,
In that moment I see you only
Isobella, oh!
Isobella, dream of me.

Everything that comes from night
Comes within your shining light.
Love is in your name each night.

Michelle - The Beatles
Music and lyrics by John Lennon

Michelle, ma belle
These are words that go together well
My Michelle

Michelle, ma belle
Sont des mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
tres bien ensemble

I love you, I love you, I love you
that's all I want to say
Until I find a way
I will say the only words I know you'll understand

Michelle, ma belle
Sont des mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
tres bien ensemble

I need to, I need to, I need to
I need to make you see
Oh, what you mean to me
Until I do I'm hoping you will know what I mean
I love you

I want you, I want you, I want you
I think you know by now
I'll get to you some how
Until I do I'm telling you so you'll understand

Michelle, ma belle
Sont des mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
tres bien ensemble
And I will say the only words I know that you'll understand
My Michelle

  @ Ronabagnale,
  
  The middle part of the song was written by John Lennon. Credit should be given to both.

This is a great question and there are many special songs in this category for me, but one that stands out among the rest is Death Cab For Cutie's - What Sarah Said.

And the music video is awesome too
