SectionDJambo Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Cats in the Cradle by Harry Chapin. Never let your work get in the way of spending time with your children. They're only young for a wee while. I've had jobs that were a challenge to my free time, but I always spent as much time as I could with my boys. Bonding sessions watching Hearts being the number one priority. I'd have hated to be like the man in that song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing how much Chester supported other sufferers and was so open and honest about his own struggles makes it so much more tragic that he succumbed to his own demons. Couldn't have put that better myself but exactly what I was thinking. 1 hour ago, I P Knightley said: Excellent choice. Made me think of Floating in the Forth by Frightened Rabbit.

No one can sing it as well as her. She sang it at every concert she did . However Cassidy version is a decent attempt. 3 hours ago, Meathook said: This always had me greeting when my mum played it.

JamesM48 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 This really is a beautiful song with a full tragic story in it. Struggle to listen to it at times as reminds me of someone close who this song could have easily been written about. Sadly died of an addiction.

Salad Fingers Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Both written by Phil Coulter. But no better person to sing them than Luke Kelly. This one is particularly sad as Coulter wrote it about his own experiences with his son who was down syndrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted Saturday at 19:33 Share Posted Saturday at 19:33 Very difficult. Fire Away by Chris Stapleton. I'm not a country lover, but this one is different. Hurt is a classic, by either Cash (my choice) or Nine Inch Nails. As an outsider, Monsters by James Blunt or Nothing Compares 2 U by Sinead O'Connor.

Benzinho Posted Saturday at 20:08 Share Posted Saturday at 20:08 Slightly unusual one here, but Skywest and Crooked by Carter USM, particularly for the spoken word part at the end by Ian Dury doing the bit from The Man of La Mancha. Gets me every time. "I have lived almost 50 years, and I've seen life as it is. Pain, misery, hunger, cruelty beyond belief. I've heard the singing in the taverns, and the moans from bundles of filth in the street. I've been a soldier, and watched my comrades fall in battle, or die more slowly under the lash in Africa. I've held them in my arms at the final moment. These were men who saw life as it is, yet they died despairing. No glory, no gallant last words, only their eyes filled with confusion, whimpering the question... "Why?" I do not think they asked why they were dying, but why they had ever lived" Also, been mentioned already, but Johnny Cash's version of Hurt never fails to bring a tear to the eye.
