The band Guster has quite a few songs that have influenced me. Happier and So Long from their album entitled Lost and Gone Forever are two songs that have really helped me get out of a deep rut. In the past few weeks though, When You Were Young by The Killers has been very very influential. That's from their new album Sam's Town.
