Fiona Solon calls classic rock her musical foundation, but she looked elsewhere for her top 5 songs of the moment.(Submitted by Fiona Solon)
This story is part of a web series called Music that Matters with CBC Yukon s Airplay host Dave White. Dave sits down with Yukoners to talk about five pieces of music that inspire them.
Picking five songs that matter turned out to be a challenge for Fiona Solon. I feel like it would have been probably easier for me to come up with a list of 50 to 500 inspiring songs, said the Whitehorse musician and performer. It was actually really difficult to do just five.

There is nothing quite like a festive haunting to see us into Christmas. Rafaella Marcusâs monologue, which features a woman who is stranded in a house alone and sees creeping shadows all around her, leaves you pleasingly chilled â due as much to the sound as the story.
It is a second, standalone play by Marcus as part of a series called Written on the Waves, and it is labelled a âyou playâ because it invites us to become active listeners. It is a moot point whether we become actively involved, though it is certainly a monologue of fear whose sobs and starts hold us in its grip as we listen.
