(last kiss,,,j frank wilson)
also another corny song,,,was,,,seasons in the sun by terry jacks,,(1974 i believe) a few versus in that song,,,hits home,,,,
"goodbye papa, please pray for me, i was the blacksheep of the family, you tried to teach me right from wrong, too much wine and too much song,,,wonder how i got along,,,
and ,,another auld lang syme (sp) by dan folgelberg, that hits home,,the lyrics,
"i said the years had been a friend to her, and her eyes are still as blue, but in those eyes, i couldnt tell, if it was doubt, or gratitude.
she said she married herslef an architec, who kept her warm and safe and dry.. and she would have said she loved the man,,,but she didnt want to lie.
also, "if you could read my mind" by gordon lightfoot....
Songs that can make me tear up:
Have A Little Faith In Me by John Hiatt~~this was in the movie Benny and Joon, but I didn't know this till I watched it
Just a snippet: And when your backs against the wall
Just turn around and you will see
I will catch, I will catch your fall baby
Just have a little faith in me
Keep Me In Your Heart For Awhile by Warren Zevon
WZ was/is one of my favorite musicians, his loss was a hard one for me, and hearing this song, (written when he knew he was dying) for the first time was almost too much to bear, but the thing is--like the rest of his work, it is strong, meaningful songwriting.
Snippet: Hold me in your thoughts, take me to your dreams
Touch me as I fall into view
When the winter comes keep the fires lit
And I will be right next to you
saving knickels saving dimes,,work until the sun dont shine, looking forward to happier times,,,on blue bayou, im going back somedayyyy come what may to blue bayou, where the fishing boats, with there sails afloat, and i can only see, a familiar sunrise, with sleepy eyes, how happy, id be,,,,(linda ronstat)
my favorite country song.......ten years ago, on a cold dark night, there was someone killed beneath the town hall light, tho there few at the scene, they had all agreed, that the slayer that ran, looked a lot like me,,,the judge said son what is your alliby, if you were somewhere else, then you wont have to die,,,i spoke not a word, tho it meant my life,,,for i had been in the arms, of my best friends wife,,,she walks these hills, in a long black veillll she visits my grave, when the north wind wails,,,,,,(lefty bruzzell, johnny cash, long black veil)
I can't think of any songs that move me to tears, although Amazing Grace just due to it's connotation always comes close (especially when it's bagpipes for some reason). The song "Travelin' Soldier" by the Dixie Chicks however is one that just stuck out in my head right now as being really sad and the sort of song that if I were in a down mood, might make the tears come. It's not just the lyrics and the mental imagery they conjure but also the general starkness and tone of the song.
Amazing Grace and Taps at a Law Enforcement funeral.
definately....
I would add "proud to be a American" and the National Anthem....
on a personal note the day my Doberman died,I was devastated,at the vet the remake of "I will always love you" by Whitney Houston originally by Dolly Parton came on while the were prepping my deceased dog...whenever I hear it that just brings me back to that moment.
Funny how music can bring you back to a time and place. I can recall music my parents played often...Righteous Bros...Unchained Melody...
