What are some good piano driven songs?

[Laura]

I wanna make a cd with some good piano driven songs on it & thought you guys would be perfect to ask. I'm looking for songs kind of like matthew jordan http://www.myspace.com/matthewjordan , shannon thomas http://www.myspace.com/shannonthomas & VC songs where you can really hear the piano in them. Preferably newish songs, unless it's a really good one.

If anyone could suggest me some artists & songs that would be great.

Not about Love - Fiona Apple

Anything by Ben Folds, Tori Amos or Fiona Apple. Something Corporate/Jack's Mannequin (diff bands, same lead singer/pianist). Jamie Cullum if you like Jazz.

Also, not as well known by Allison Crowe has some good songs. I personally like her songs Midnight and Crayon and Ink. I don't know that many, but they're definitely piano driven.

Bright Eyes - Drunk Kid Catholic; When the Curious Girl Realizes She is Under Glass

Azure Ray - Sea of Doubts; If You Fall

No Doubt - Everything in Time (i'm not sure which version; there are two)

Orenda Fink - Blind Asylum (this song actually doesn't have any piano at all in it; it'd sound marvelous on piano, though)

Evanescence - My Immortal, Hello (yeah, cheesy, but still...)

Alanis Morrisette - Princes Familiar (the unplugged version; most of Alanis' songs have piano in them, but I can't think of any in particular at the moment).

[Gingernut]

Evanescence - My Immortal, Hello (yeah, cheesy, but still...)

Nothing cheesy about them
Alot of Ben Fold's songs (like philosophy, and Zak and Sara... omg that song hurts to play).
I also find alot of Delta Goodrem songs have good piano driven parts.

Existentialism on Prom night - Straylight Run

I seriously doubt it's a real piano, but "Unfaithful" by Rihanna. Her voice sounds horrible with ballads.

*throws up*
Everything from her voice to the synth strings makes me cringe.

omg that's my favorite song right now lol im definitely putting it on there. im not a huge fan of hip-hop, but i really like her for some reason & she was pretty good when i saw her back in May.

That SONG is just horrible. The lyrics are poorly written too. The tune is catchy, and that piano bit sounds good, but when my manager and I heard it the first time, we laughed & laughed. "I don't wanna be.... a MURDERAHHHHHHH!" hahaha

And Laura, don't be offended just because you like the song and I don't.

Lmao. That song is SO painful to listen to- at first i was like 'oh okay, this could be alright' but then i was overwhelmed by the immense whining that is Rhianna's voice.
