7) "Tonight I Wanna Cry"

Most of Keith Urban's music is guitar driven. But, "Tonight I Wanna Cry" is a song where the main instrument is a piano. It's very acoustic, and emotional. The story has the man trying to get over his ex, and feeling like he has to just let out all his emotions and just cry. The song is from Keith's Be Here CD.

I just love this sexy, sultry song. He suggests that they spend all day on Sunday wrapped up together under the covers. Wow, sounds like a plan for sure! This is from Keith's Golden Road CD.

5) "Only You Can Love Me This Way"

This is one of the sweetest love songs ever. I just love the guitar riff. It's got such a sensual and laid back feel. This song is from Keith's 2009 release, Defying Gravity.

4) "You'll Think of Me"

This is the perfect kiss off song. The guy tells the girl to take her cat, but leave his sweater, and that down the road, she's gonna think of the love they had and wish she never left. This is from Keith's Golden Road CD.

3) "Making Memories of Us"

The words of this song are just magical. I love how he sings that "I wanna sleep with you forever And I wanna die in your arms, in a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm. This song was written by Rodney Crowell for his wife Claudia Church. It's just the perfect wedding song, and can be found on Keith's Be Here CD.

2) "Somebody Like You"

This song is about being happy in love with someone, and counting yourself lucky to have them. It's a great song to just dance along with, and would make a great song for an exercise disc. It's from Keith's Golden Road CD

1) "Days Go By"

This has to be the ultimate road trip song. It evokes feelings of traveling down the road with the music turned up and your arm out the window, feeling the wind blowing through your fingertips. This is from Keith's Be Here CD.
