The Top Five Caroline's Spine Songs (via iTunes):

Sullivan
Attention Please
You and Me
Nothing to Prove
The Light Inside

Sullivan and You and Me both come from Spine's 1997 album entitled "Monsoon." Sullivan is reportedly the band's most popular song, due to it's accessible melody and compelling subject matter related to WWII. You and Me starts out with a slower softer beat than Sullivan, but then turns to quicker tempo and heavier rock, it's a great song to jam out to and it seems to resonate with the frustrations rough relationships can sometimes bring.

Two years later, Spine released "Attention Please," where the tracks Attention Please and Nothing to Prove are heard. Both tracks received high ratings on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart at #30 and #23, respectively. Nothing to Prove is probably a personal favorite of mine and all that I can say about it is take a listen to it below. Attention Please, on the other hand, has a deep grungy sound whom's chorus seems to question life's train and where, as passengers, we are going. That idea seems to ring true for a lot of people who deal with various problems, including seizures and Epilepsy. Sometimes we wonder why it is that we have certain issues to deal with and it is, indeed, a fair question. Until we find out why and where we are going, we can do our best to hold on for the ride.

The last, but definitely not the least, of the top five tracks is The Light Inside from "Work It Out." It wouldn't surface until nearly a decade after Spine's aforementioned album, "Attention Please." Nevertheless, the track definitely earned it's place among the top tracks of Spine's music. The music is heavy with awesome beats with deep enlightening lyrics that question, and at the same time seem to encourage, the listener's ability to go on and continue to do their best despite difficulties they might experience.

Can't wait to see the band in action? Well, the countdown is on and the concert is just days away, but until then, feel free to check out this video, from YouTube, of the group singing a song I particularly favor, Nothing to Prove.
