scott herbertson Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 On 16/12/2018 at 00:55, I P Knightley said: A very hard song to listen to. And his other one - Green Fields of France. I listen to that every November and it makes me sad or cross or both I'm a big old softy, though. My list could be quite long, with Tom Waits figuring large: "Why wasn't God watching...for Georgia Lee?" "Jesus Christ, this goddamn rain; will someone put me on a train' I'll never kiss your lips again - or break your heart." (Ruby's Arms) "I'll steal a hacksaw from my dad and cut the braces off your legs." (Kentucky Avenue) All thought-provoking for different reasons Then you have Bruce: "On these streets, Charles, you have to understand the rules... promise Mama you'll keep your hands in sight." There'll be more. I'll give others a go. Kentucky Avenue is one that came straight to my mind. Sitting listening to that at 2am in a flat in Aberdeen in 1980, lost in a world of updated Tom Sawyer childhood. Another is I'll Keep it with Mine by Fairport Convention (a Dylan song) plus Fotheringay - both sung with such an emotive voice by the late great Sandy Denny But the all time winner for me would e this - couldn't listen to this without a tear until I was about 12 when 'manning up' became required Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@VladMagic Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Dire Straits "Brothers in Arms". Not only is it a very powerful song, it was used in the TV drama "Civvies" which we all watched in the early 90's. There are a couple of very powerful scenes in it with BIA in the back ground which still make me well up to this day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belly Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) Some lumpers in there. I have loads all for different reasons some songs other just pieces of music: Queen; These Are the Days of Our Lives, reminds me of a good school friend and Jambo who was taken too young, life toook us in different directions, but I was devasted when I heard he had passed away. Eric Clapton; Tears in Heaven, I know this was written about the loss of his son, but when I hear it I always think of my Nana who passed away when I was 10 (38 years ago, never got to say goodbye). Paloma Faith; Only Love Can Hurt Like This, Was listening to this at a New Year party, it had been a tough year emotionally and I ended up bubbling like a bairn. Ennio Morricone; The Funeral, reminds me of an Inciedent at work, where if I had been 10 seconds earlier I might not be here today, watched American Sniper after my shift had finished, and again I was bubbling like a bairn when the end credits came on. Alan Silvestri; The Feather Theme (Forrest Gump), I would like that played for my exit song. Edited December 31, 2018 by belly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Days of our lives Queen and Just Breathe by PJs are all great shouts. I would say Off He Goes by PJs is very good too. Sweet little mystery or Angeline by John Martyn as it reminds me of my mum listening to it in our living room, she died in 2012 aged 59.

Morgan Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Maybe a wee bit upbeat for the purpose of the thread but, Don’t stop me now by Queen is very poignant and saddening for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
