Billy Bragg - Tank Park Salute:
Kiss me goodnight and say my prayers
Leave the light on at the top of the stairs
Tell me the names of the stars up in the sky
A tree taps on the window pane
That feeling smothers me again
Daddy is it true that we all have to die
At the top of the stairs
Is darkness
I closed my eyes and when I looked
Your name was in the memorial book
and what had become of all the things we planned
I accepted the commiserations
Of all your friends and your relations
But there's some things I still don't understand
You were so tall
How could you fall?
Some photographs of a summer's day
A little boy's lifetime away
Is all I've left of everything we've done
Like a pale moon in a sunny sky
Death gazes down as I pass by
To remind me that I'm but my father's son
I offer up to you
This tribute
I offer up to you
This tank park salute
...............
Thankfully I still have my father, but I think this is a constant reminder that, that won`t always be the case
mozz , i know its over , saw him in leeds in the summer , what a night , did quite a few classics , a night i wont forget.
+1 O Mio Babbino Caro.
Reminds me of my Grandad.
The drugs don't work by The Verve
Heartbeat by Nick Berry - was the theme tune to my Mum's favourite program
and
so, so sad.
was at this concert had a tear in my eye he gave a masterful performance
Not a huge Elton fan but like others it more of a time machine back to a particular place in their lives. For me it takes me back to a point where I was in a place well out of my depth but having the absolute time of my life. I was completely exhausted and being driven home while my translator was trying to make sense of this song that was playing in the car. It's like way the smell of something can bring back memories. Brilliant
Usually manage more than one tear to this one.
Also this one but I think you have to be Scottish and homesick
Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Drive by The Cars.. can't help but think of Live Aid and the pictures as reported by Michael Burke
Not a song as such, but this always has me teary
and this, cos it was one of the song's at my dad's funeral
The best band in the world.
ABBA - Super Trouper.
No more Super Trouper as they are now gone ... history.
REM - Everybody Hurts (especially poignant as it is associated with when my boyfriend at the time committed suicide)
Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares to You (seemed to get played a lot when I seperated from my partner ...)
And +1 to Johnny Cash's Hurt
**Hugs Sue **
Incase new B/f is not around ce soir
Justin Hayward. Forever Autumn.
Played at my wife's funeral. Still cant bring myself to hear it in full.
Its got me going now just thinking about it.
*sobs uncontrollably*
Lippy Kids and Open Arms, both off the last Elbow album.
+1 for Johnny Cash's Hurt and Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong
And i'll add "Show Must Go On" - Queen and "My Hero" - Foo Fighters, especially a live acoustic version i saw at V festival a couple of years ago (Foos performing as The 606).
oh and The Night Will Always Win off that as well.
No Surprises by Radiohead always gets me looking at the knife block.
cats in the cradle by who ever sings it ...
its me and my dad in a nut shell even though we try to avoid it something always comes up at both ends !
Desperado obviously....
