tell us what song(s) get to you every time you hear it.

i'll start out with dan fogelberg's "leader of the band". having lost my dad a few years back makes it very difficult to listen to. I can't sing along without breakin down. he was very instrumental in my musical career.

Hi Phreddy. Queen's These Are the Days of Our Lives was sort of a personal song with a girlfriend I lived with for eight years, a couple of decades ago. Yeah, I know; a soppy song, but there ya go...

When she left I couldn't listen to it for a long time out of sadness. Then I couldn't listen to it for another long time out of rage. One way and another I haven't played it for near twenty years now. Sometimes I hear it playing on someone's radio or something, and it still gives me a jolt.

...Was that the sort of thing you were getting at?

Cheers - C

Yes, it has to do with a girl, go figure.

Gotta be 'Soul and Inspiration' by The Righteous Brothers ! 8)

I saw them play this Live the first time I laid eyes on Mrs. LMN.

Turned out to be very prophetic a couple years later... :wink:

cheers!

One of the few people who can cover a Richard Thompson song and do a better version than the original ...

A religious song, "See Yourself When All Is New", speaking about being reunited with resurrected loved ones, in a perfect new world.

I've listened to/sang/played it dozens upon dozens of times, and it still brings tears to my eyes...can't wait to see my Grannie, my alternate/honorary Grandma, my honorary "little brother," my mother-in-law and father-in-law, and many many more people.

The last lines, addressing the Almighty, are so moving:

"All glory and honor and praise to you belong!"

A classic that'll get you is the immortal Hank Williams' 'I'm so lonesome I could cry !' 8)

I particularly like B.J. Thomas' version:



cheers!

Location: In a house....unless I'm at work....then I'm in a shop.
While my Father and I had a very good relationship, and we rarely disagreed, I had to move away for work and for better schools for my kids. So the last 20 years we talked on the phone and saw each other once a year, right up until he passed on in 2007.
I still miss him to death, so I know I wasted those last years........now I would give almost anything for one more day with him.

the intro to KISS "Rock Bottom" because that's what my Sons' casket was carried into the chapel during.
and KISS "Rock & Roll all Nite" because that's what his casket was carried from the chapel to the hearse to...

3 weeks before he was killed (auto accident) at 17, we'd gone together to KISS (either reunion or farewell tour) at Phillips arena in Atlanta in 4/'00
He was buried in the shirt he bought at that concert.

A tune about a middle age musician who cannot seem to bridge the communication gap between himself and a homeless townie girl that crashes in his basement when he's touring.

"I see a girl frighteningly gaunt, somebody didn't want"

The mournful mellotron/cello in the chorus gets me every time...

Mull of Kintyre

I don’t necessarily “Lose it” but my father on his deathbed wanted to have his Scottish compilation CD of bagpipes and folk music playing while he awaited the end. That song was playing when he took his last breath. Wasn’t the Paul McCartney version but every time I hear any version of that song I think about that. I wish I could remember the Scottish folk singer on that particular recording.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.
