Any song that begins...
"And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us..."
is going to tug at your heart! For Christs sake, we're only human.
I love Clannad and Enya. Funny how their music and singing grab the emotions even though you don't know what they are singing about. Maybe they are singing 'and if a double decker bus crashes into us...' in Celtic!
Josh Groban has some beautiful meaningful music and a beautiful voice. I don't listen to him much now but when my Husband died suddenly in 2002
I played this song at his funeral
I played it over and over for a year after until the pain of losing him started to fade.
Lyrics by Linda Thompson
Who can say for certain
Maybe you're still here
I feel you all around me
Your memory's so clear
Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You're still an inspiration
Can it be (?)
That you are my
Forever love
And you are watching over me from up above
Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile to know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are
Are you gently sleeping
Here inside my dream
And isn't faith believing
All power can't be seen
As my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me everyday
'Cause you are my
Forever love
Watching me from up above
And I believe
That angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leave
Fly me up
To where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are
I know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are
I have to play these two on a weekly/daily basis or I become very depressed.

Will you Remember Me? by sara mclachlan..........after that The Dance by Garth Brooks and Bob Segars - Against the Wind'. sammieswife.
I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your love pass you by
Weep not for the memories
I'm so tired, but I can't sleep
Standing on the edge of something much too deep
It's funny how we feel so much
But cannot say a word
We are screaming inside, but we can't be heard
But I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your love pass you by
Weep not for the memories
I'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to loose
Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose
Once there was a darkness, a deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had, oh, you gave me life
And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Dont let your love pass you by
Weep not for the memories.
And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Dont let your love pass you by
Weep not for the memories.
Weep not for the memories.

So here are a few of mine (an old hippie at heart)....
The Hendrix version of "All Along the Watchtower" - probably my all time fave.
Sara McLaughlin "Sweet Surrender"
The Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World"
Procul Harem "A Whiter Shade of Pale"
The Who "My Generation"
The Stones "Gimme Shelter" and "Sympathy for the Devil"
Zepplin "When the Levee Breaks"
I am sure as soon as I hit "Submit Post" I will think of at least 5 more.
This song is for any body who ever spent a friday or saturday night cruising, or watching everyone else cruise, in a small southern town. This song goes into my kick a$$ country file. If you don't live in the south or are from another country, this will give you a little taste of southern small town culture. And this would be teenagers, not older folks.

Hillbilly Deluxe by Brooks and Dunne
Well, up in the backwoods, down in the holler,
Ol' boys feelin' like a dog on a collar.
Keepin' that chain pulled tight.
Waitin' on saturday night.
Put on the smell good, put on Skynyrd,
Head into town like a NASCAR winner.
Cruisin' back and forth to the Tasty Freeze.
Everywhere you look all you see is,
Hillbilly deluxe, slick pick up trucks.
Big timin' in a small town.
Stirrin' it up right about sundown.
Black denim and chrome to the bone,
With a little home-grown.
A country girl cuddled up, hillbilly deluxe.
Couple kids, sweet things, drivin' a fast bash.
Shoot 'em a coons' smile.
Hopin' that they smile back, "Hey, baby, what's your name?"
Burn a little rubber when the red lights change.
Here come the blue light, here come the bonnie.
Hot on the bill y'all, let's move the party.
Gotta go, but that's alright.
Do it all again next Friday night.
Hillbilly deluxe, slick pick-'em-up trucks.
Big timin' in a small town.
Stirrin' it up right about sundown.
Black denim and chrome to the bone,
With a little home-grown.
A country girl cuddled up, hillbilly deluxe.
--Instrumental break.--
Hillbilly deluxe, slick pick-'em-up trucks.
Big timin' in a small town.
Stirrin' it up right about sundown.
Black denim and chrome to the bone,
With a little home-grown.
A country girl cuddled up, hillbilly deluxe.
Hillbilly deluxe.
Hillbilly deluxe.
Hillbilly deluxe.

Gus Gus, is jesus your pal
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiwXU42W5z0
Is Jesus your pal?
Do you call out his name,
when your concience is shivering?
Do you need someone too,
just like those people who
find peace in someone's promises?
You sure don't need my promises...
So come and sit on my box,
enjoy the view of this water,
where my lifeboat is sinking.
If you open your eyes,
take a look at this mess,
could you fake your reflection, child?
If you reach out for more,
you'll find nothing but sorrow.
'Cause knowledge is hollow.
And pride is hard to swallow.
So come and sit on my box,
take a view of this water,
where my lifeboat is sinking
Another one that has been a fave of mine is The Gambler by Kenny Rogers...
Freedom Frog, did you listen to the Brooks and Dunne song?
