One from Mary Chapin Carpenter, based upon a poem by Robert Browning, and made into a song by John Lennon. “Grow Old Along with Me”:
Collin Raye’s “Love, Me” is quite touching, telling the story of how Grandma’s parents didn’t like Grandpa when the two were younger, and how they kept in touch in spite of that. The video is out of focus, but the audio is just fine:
And “Where’ve You Been?” from Kathy Mattea. The story of a couple, both awkward in love, but who meet each other, and are happy together for fifty years. Until, “they’re in a hospital in different beds on different floors.” She shuts herself off from everything around her, won’t respond to anybody or anything, and lapses into silence, until somebody realizes how to fix that:
Each song is beautiful, in my opinion, being mostly acoustic guitar and vocals (well, Carpenter’s uses a piano), but each will require extra Kleenex.
