Sort of inspired by the “Missing You” music thread from last week, I wanted to start this thread for songs that have a “Loved/Lost/No Regrets” theme. Two that are quintessential, to me, are:
“Angel Flying too Close to the Ground” - Willie Nelson
and
“The Dance” - Garth Brooks
So, what other songs relate this sentiment? I’m mostly familiar with 80’s soft rock/pop and country/western (yeah, yeah…no snarking on my musical tastes), so I’m not likely to recognize something too much more recent or outside of those genres…
Oh, yeah…“classics” are good, too…
As an example, “Listen to the Rhythm of the Falling Rain” would be borderline, but I like it, and part of the sentiment in the song would apply…
Pamela Brown by Leo Kottke looks back on a girl he was madly in love with, but she chose another guy " ‘cause she liked his pickup truck." He figures if he had won her, he’d be driving a station wagon full of kids. "All of my good times, all my runnin’ around, I guess I owe it all to Pamela Brown."
