[Closed] Those songs that just....

Eva Cassidy. Rainbow. I hate what it does to me.

or

I'm not gay or owt but, despite the Liberace style presentation of this (it's different in my head) this is one of the truely difficult, heart tugging type songs, that I like to wallow in occasionally.

And like DezB

Sorry, on the iPad and the connection is sloooooow tonight. So no links.

DezB, I had this in mind before seeing yours: Scott Walker - Always Coming Back to You. It just kills me...

Cat Power - Blue (the Joni Mitchell song)

Superwolf (Bonnie Prince Billy & Matt Sweeney) - Blood Embrace

PJ Harvey - Silence

Van Morrison - Almost Independence Day

Ryan Adams - Do I Want

Neil Young - Don't Cry

Bonnie Prince Billy & Tortoise - Calvary Cross (the Richard & Linda Thompson song)

Bert Jansch - Blackwaterside (or the Anne Briggs version)

Roberta Flack - Do What You Gotta Do

Alasdair Roberts - Farewell Sorrow

Meg Baird - Dear Companion

Sufjan Stevens - Casimir Polanski Day.

I could go on............

the antlers, putting the dog to sleep.

Ok, another Scott seeing as metalheart can't post the vid

This trumps all others

Cheers DezB, it comes up as not valid for your platform on the iPad.... So thanks 🙂

Man, what a voice, that Scott.

Anyway, this still gets me after the death of JP, first song I heard when it was announced.

Evernescence My Immortal

Time to camp it up (got to love Swayze)...

and a close second...

The Unthanks [i]King Of Rome[/i]

So many wonderful songs here - particularly nice to see mentions for Sedaka and the Unthanks

I think this one pulls at some emotions many of us can understand:

Sebastien Tellier - La Ritournelle : does it for me.

Oh nothing's going to change my love for you
I wanna spend my life with you
So we make love on the grass under the moon
No one call tell, damned if I do
Forever journey on golden avenues
I drift in your eyes since I love you
I got that beat in my veins for only rule
Love is to share, mine is for you?

I had the pleasure of hearing him do it live in Deia (mallorca) at a very private wedding party at a hilltop villa a few years ago with full orchestral backing - as long as i live i will never ever forget that performance - absolutely stunning.

There´s some horrible noise on this list (ninfan, sry mate), here are mine.

Talk Talk - good choice and a vastly under appreciated band.

A Mark Hollis quote that's always stuck with me :

[i] Before you play two notes learn how to play one note – and don't play one note unless you've got a reason to play it."[/i]

🙁

a couple more

Bit of Vandross to finish off - Dance with my Father

This thread has depressed me.

This thread has depressed me.

Sorry...... feel free to post some songs that lifts your spirit.

It's the poor quality that has depressed me rather than the songs 😆 (not all of it of course!).
This is stuck in my head. Kind of sad, kind of uplifting, kind of ... marmite?

[i]This thread has depressed me. [/i]

This won't help;

[i]This won't help[/i]

On the contrary... (See my previous post)

we crossed posts.

heartstrings are funny things, we all seem to be tuned to a different setting.

This one

means nothing to anyone but me and my wife I suspect.

My wife will tell i am far from romantic, but both these songs do it for me:

City and Colour

or

Mazzy star.

Lots of classics here!

Heres mine:

Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms

I still think of my Grandad when I listen to it.

VNV Nation - Left behind.

the images used in this slideshow I don't think work, but the song is the important thing.
