before I posted. I would have included “Puff the Magic Dragon” AND “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes” Also Magnet and Steel. And Over the Rainbow. “If music be the food of love, play on; Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, The appetite may sicken, and so die.” –Twelfth Night, Act 1, scene i (For some reason, I’m in a particularly bitter mood tonight with respect to marriage and relationships. You’d think it was me, and not soulsling, that broke up with someone. But maybe it’s as bad to have given up as it is to have broken up. BTW, I’m not being misogynistic, rather I blame myself for not having anyone. I’d probably be less frustrated if I had a strawwoman to knock down) ---

so what is love then is it dictated or chosen (handed down and made by hand) does it sing like the hymns of 1000 years or is it just pop emotion (handed down and made by hand) and if it ever was there and it left does it mean it was never true and to exist it must elude is that why i think these things of you i could go crazy on a night like tonight when summer’s beginning to give up her fight and every thought’s a possibility and the voices are heard but nothing is seen why do you spend this time with me may be an equal mystery -mystery, Indigo Girls And anything Dylan. ---

Apollyon/Coldfire - Prior to signing on to the MB today, I listened to not only The Wall (skipping a few tracks but NEVER skipping the fabulous “Mother”, which is outshone only by “Goodbye Blue Sky” and “Hey You”) and The Final Cut (“One of the Few” and “The Gunner’s Dream” were the highlights this time), but also several selections each from Wish You Were Here and Dark Side. After having an awful day yesterday that was exceeded only the the four-times-as-awful evening, I knew I couldn’t face the morning alone, so I tucked my Floyd cd’s into my bag last night in anticipation of some solitary depression today. I haven’t been disappointed…well…I guess I have, that’s part of the problem…but at least I’ve been predictably depressed and have had some Floyd to help drag me through the morning hours. (I did resist the urge to put on my video of “The Wall” before dawn, thinking that would jeopardize my making it out from under the covers at all.) There are just never enough good depressing songs when you need them, but Floyd is certainly a good place to start. ---

I’ll second Leonard Cohen’s _Suzanne_, but for me the Cohen song most likely to make me get misty is _Hey, That’s No Way to Say Goodbye_: I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm, your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm, yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new, in city and in forest they smiled like me and you, but now it’s come to distances and both of us must try, your eyes are soft with sorrow, Hey, that’s no way to say goodbye. I’m not looking for another as I wander in my time, walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme you know my love goes with you as your love stays with me, it’s just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea, but let’s not talk of love or chains and things we can’t untie, your eyes are soft with sorrow, Hey, that’s no way to say goodbye. I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm, your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm, yes many loved before us, I know that we are not new, in city and in forest they smiled like me and you, but let’s not talk of love or chains and things we can’t untie, your eyes are soft with sorrow, Hey, that’s no way to say goodbye. ---

Swiddles - Good choice. I’d also vote for _Language or the Kiss_ by the Indigo Girls for most depressing. ---

For me, it’s Billy Joel’s _Lullabye (Good Night My Angel)_ Goodnight, my angel Time to close your eyes And save these questions for another day I think I know what you’ve been asking me I think you know what I’ve been trying to say I promised I would never leave you And you should always know Wherever you may go No matter where you are I never will be far away Goodnight, my angel Now it’s time to sleep And still so many things I want to say Remember all the songs you sang for me When we went sailing on an emerald bay And like a boat out on the ocean I’m rocking you to sleep The water’s dark And deep inside this ancient heart You’ll always be a part of me Goodnight, my angel Now it’s time to dream And dream how wonderful your life will be Someday your child may cry And if you sing this lullabye Then in your heart There will always be a part of me Someday we’ll all be gone But lullabyes go on and on… They never die That’s how you And I Will be Geez, my eyes are welling up just reading it. I’m sure he wrote it for his daughter about his divorce from Christy Brinkly, but it reminds me of an ex-GF who I would’ve asked to marry me if I’d had the chance. ---

I don’t even know the title or the singer of this tune, the only time I’ve ever heard it is in the movie “Major League” (when Tom Berrenger takes the bullpen car to chase after his girl): > [@](#): > > Woke up one day > what did I find? > Holes in my pockets, > memories on my mind. > So many things I lost on the way, > but most of all you. > > Pennies and dreams > carelessly spent. > Pieces of time, and > who knows where they went? > Is there a chance to pick up the pieces > and try for it all again? > > Sometimes you get so busy running, > running round in circles, > you never see you’re going nowhere. > Sometimes we get so busy chasing, > chasing after rainbows, > you look around your life and find no one’s there.

Remembered another one… [quote] First we lived in India In the winter it rains there every day We were younger then, we were children in India And there were signs and people we’d never understand And you said “Hold my hand,” and I held your hand And there’s one of me, and one of you Two of us with one hundred questions and two thousand reasons Ten’s a perfect number We are twenty thousand hearts full of hunger Twenty thousand hearts… Then we’re dancing in Geneva, It’s New Year’s Eve and all the Americans are there They say it’s still last year in New York City You say “New York where?” I said “New York City is three thousand miles away” And you said “What’s a mile?” I said “It’s far away.” And there’s one of me, and one of you Two of us with one hundred questions and two thousand reasons Ten’s a perfect number We are twenty thousand hearts full of hunger Twenty thousand hearts… Now you ask me to explain myself, and I tell you I need distance You say “To hell with distance, remember who you’re talking to.” I say “Closeness is too much for me” and dismiss you with a smile You say “Wish away the closeness, and imagine it’s a mile.” And there’s one of me, and one of you Two of us with one hundred questions and two thousand reasons Ten’s a perfect number We are twenty thousand hearts full of hunger Twenty thousand hearts…[/quote} – _Twenty Thousand Hearts_, by Eddie From Ohio. He singer wrote it for his sister, but I always remember a good college friend that I’ve grown apart from. And we used to be really close too. _sigh_ ---

“The Drowning Man”, by The Cure She stands twelve feet above the flood She stares alone across the water The loneliness grows and slowly fills Her frozen body sliding downwards One by one her senses die The memories fade and leave her eyes Still seeing worlds that never were And one by one the bright birds leave her… Starting at the violent sound She tries to turn, but final, noiseless Slips and strikes her soft dark head The water bows, receives her And drowns her at its ease Drowns her at its ease… I would have left the world all bleeding Could I only help you love The fleeting shapes so many years ago So young and beautiful and brave Everything was true It couldn’t be a story… I wish it was all true I wish it couldn’t be a story The words all left me lifeless, hoping Breathing like the drowning man… Oh Fucshia! You leave me Breathing like the drowning man Breathing like the drowning man Breathing like the drowning man… ---

Glad to see all of the other country music fans out in force. Many country songs make me cry (I’m a sensitive gal ;)), but I’m gonna call this Kathy Mattea tune the most moving: WHERE’VE YOU BEEN Claire had all but given up When she and Edwin fell in love She touched his face and shook her head In disbelief, she sighed and said, “In many dreams I’ve held you near Now, at last, you’re really here.” “Where’ve you been? I’ve looked for you forever and a day Where’ve you been? I’m just not myself when you’re away.” He asked her for her hand for life And she became a salesman’s wife He was home each night by eight But one stormy evening, he was late Her frightened tears fell to the floor Until his key turned in the door. “Where’ve you been? I’ve looked for you forever and a day Where’ve you been? I’m just not myself when you’re away.” They’d never spent a night apart For sixty years she heard him snore Now they’re in a hospital In separate beds on different floors Claire soon lost her memory Forgot the names of family She never spoke a word again Then one day, they wheeled him in He held her hand and stroked her hair In a fragile voice she said, “Where’ve you been? I’ve looked for you forever and a day Where’ve you been? I’m just not myself when you’re away. No, I’m just not myself when you’re away.” I first heard this song years ago. Kathy Mattea (a very talented lady with a lovely voice) was on some panel show on the Nashville Network. There were several other female country singers on the show with her (K. T. Oslin for sure and maybe EmmyLou Harris and at least one other I’ve forgotten). Nice quiet show – the women were just chatting and taking it in turns to sing. Towards the end, Kathy sang this one, prefacing it by saying that it was a brand new pick for an upcoming album – she hadn’t even cut the song yet. When she finished every woman on the panel was in tears and Kathy smiled and commented that she had had to sing it dozens of times before she could get through it without crying herself. A very powerful song. ---

I need to add one. Butterfly Kisses sung by Bob Carlisle I can’t hear it without crying. I watch my daughter sleeping, and know she’s growing up faster than I’m ready for. I also think of my son, who will be leaving for college in less than 3 months. _Sniffle_ anybody got a kleenex? ---

Wow, so many great songs, but very few of them affect me deeply. Definitely “Mother”, as well as “Comfortably Numb” and Elton John’s “Daniel”. Most of the songs that make me cry are about death. Here’re a few choice lyrics: _Daisy’s Dead_, Spirit of the West She flew home in the hull of a jet Between the bags and the family pets. And no one came to offer tea And the movie that she never saw Was one she’d wanted to see. Home is where you lay your dead… _Resurrection_, Spirit of the West At her funeral I never felt the grave Never kissed the dead, had a laugh instead Made a funny girl count nine best friends Look how they adore her, standing here before her With words in their pockets, hearts on their sleeves They sang her praise, I felt her breathe And her photographs hung upon the wall Of the little Jewish hall And beautiful was her comet. Spirit of the West’s lyrics aren’t all like this, really. ---

Okay, I guess I can contribute. I’ve been going through some hard times right now, so a lot of songs mean a lot to me, but these two stand out in my mind: Ravine, by Ace of Base > [@](#): > > Have you heard, have you heard > About this girl who was ripped up by her roots. > Have you heard, what she learned? > Like humility–you win when you lose > > I have learned–I have learned > The most horrifying nights have ends > I was hurt, I was lost. > In the dark I found the way to a friend > > I am standing here in my ravine. > Once again I see a piece of the sky > And my joy’ll never be denied > Cause I was meant to be here– > The only place on earth > Where you are near–where you are near > > Was a flower, so frail- > And I let the trees grow wild around me > Grew so high, hid the sky > Shaded everything I needed to see > > Then one night, someone came > Took a knife and ripped me out by my roots > Tossed astray, far away. > In my darkest night I started to pray > I am standing… > > Why do you, why do you ask > Why I’m not blaming my god? > I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you what– > He was the only one there > > I am standing… This other one is Live Wire by the Beastie Boys. This one makes me cry because I have a friend that’s on drugs right now, and I myself have been struggling with self-injury…this song sums up a lot of what my friends have been sounding like lately… Live Wire > [@](#): > > I know where you got to be going but you don’t know why > I see things I ought not to know but I can’t help life > You never knew my heart for you was monster size > You’re a live wire > > Let me know if you want to check out for the all time high > My man told me long hellos and short good byes > But you are something else I love you please don’t die > You’re a live wire. Great, I’m getting teary-eyed just writing it…sorry. ---

Well I didn’t read through -all- of the other posts, so if this one has already been posted, I apologise. From Brooks & Dunn’s “He’s Got You” He’ll hold you tonight, but I won’t. What’s he got that I don’t? One thing I thought that I’d never lose… He’s got you… That’s one that just really bugs me, probably because I still haven’t gotten over my last gf and this little air force dorm room gets pretty lonely at night. blah… ---
