Songs that get you misty-eyed

[KansDem]

Here are some that get me a little misty-eyed:

(I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons-Nat King Cole version

Innsbruck, ich muss dich lassen-Michael Praetorius

Saint James Infirmary-Louis Armstrong version

Kindertotenlieder-Gustav Mahler, especially the last song--:cry:

Time after Time-Chet Baker version

Sunshine on My Shoulders-John Denver

What are yours?

[skygazer]

1. Fire and Rain - James Taylor

Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone....


Always makes me think of a friend of mine who killed herself last year. :(

[KansDem]

3. I am so sorry!

That is a good song, but the memory it evokes must be extremely painful! :hug:

[Mad_Dem_X]

8. Yes

I always think of my cousin when I hear that song. (He took his own life back in 2001.)

[azmouse]

12. That was the first song I heard after

hearing of my brother's death last Nov.

I cried like a baby.

[SacredCow]

85. Delete

delete. wrong place. again. :eyes:

[skater314159]

99. I'm so sorry for your loss...

:hug: :grouphug: :hug:

[sinkingfeeling]

2. 'Danny Boy' will make me cry in an instant. As will 'I Will Always Love You' and 'Angel of the

Morning'. Sometimes, 'Stand By Me' will do it. Depends on which departed love comes to mind.

[KansDem]

4. I forgot "Danny Boy!"

You're right, the words of a father seeing his son off to war is quite somber.

I'm getting misty-eyed just thinking about it...

[yellowdogintexas]

73. "Danny Boy" will do it for me too. Sad sad song, and my dad LOVED it

it always makes me think of him.

[Vanje]

5. Bugler Bugler, Bless your hide

Jesus gonna take you for a chariot ride.
Say Goodbye
Say Good bye

Dry your eyes
Sit up straight
Buglers gonna meet you at the pearly gate
Say Goodbye
Say Goodbye

[last_texas_dem]

38. That one gets to me, too

I know it from the version by The Byrds on the Farther Along album.

[bif]

6. Richard Strauss's "Four Last Songs" sung by Kiri Te Kanawa

And "Amazing Grace" played on the bagpipes at a funeral. Also "On Angel's Wings" sung at a funeral. And the trio near the end of "Der Rosenkavbelier."

[Brigid]

7. Here are two that always get me:

"From the Forest" by Gordon Lightfoot
"My Hometown" by Bruce Springsteen

[steelemagnolia]

167. Here's my Gordon LIghtfoot

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iquCHSkmUek The Edmund Fitzgerald



Went to the Museum in Michigan last summer then stood on the shore of Lake Superior looking out to the spot where they surmised it went down. Inside the museum, this song played over and over as you went through. It was very emotional. Even in June, the waters were choppy and misty and one could only imagine how it must have been that November night.

[Iggo]

9. Sweetest Thing -- Juice Newton.

And if you tell my metalhead peers, I'll deny it.

Rock on!:headbang:

[MAGICBULLET]

10. so many...

A Quiet Place - Garnet Mimms
How High the Moon - Pat Suzuki
Not Too Cool To Cry - Renaldo Domino
I Wish You Were Here - Al Green
I'm Tired of Being Lonely - Eddy Jacobs
I'm Gettin Sentimental Over You - Tommy Dorsey Orch.
Azure - Ella Fitzgerald

[Midlodemocrat]

11. Rock and Roll All NIght by Kiss.

Gets me every time.

[Beer Snob-50]

13. Amazing Grace

and Ava Maria

[steelemagnolia]

169. Have you heard this version of Amazing Grace - it gives me chills

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHpye0M34JQ Amazing Grace Judy Collins

[azmouse]

14. Bridge Over Troubled Water

[1gobluedem]

35. Me too n/t

[last_texas_dem]

39. Simon and Garfunkel have several powerful ones

"The Sun Is Burning" from their first album is about the dropping of an atomic bomb, but the way the subject is introduced in the song really gets to me. "A Most Peculiar Man" is a very sad one about a lonely man who commits suicide. And "7 O'Clock News/Silent Night", even though not a typical "song" is very moving as well. They have a number of songs that mess with my emotions; "Flowers Never Bend with the Rainfall" is another that comes to mind.

[stuntcat]

58. "El Condor Pasa"

It's one of their songs that gets me, not just the words exactly but the whole sound of it, the flutes and how their voices echo. But I don't have some of those you mentioned, I'm gonna get them now.

[skater314159]

101. Bookends. VERY powerful. nt

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

121. That's My 2nd Favorite Song Of All Time, Next To Dust In The Wind.

And I consider it to have the best vocal track of all time.

[steelemagnolia]

168. Love that one and here's another one that gets me

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9zcaJJBR3c Bookends

[soleft]

15. I'll Stand By You - Pretenders

And Groovie Kind of Love by Phil Collins. I used to sing it to my son when he was a baby.

[LanternWaste]

16. Total Eclipse of the Heart

Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Taylor. Still gets to me-- after twenty five years.

Bright Eyes sung by Art Gunfunkle (it's the song that plays during the end credits to the movie Watership Down).

Old and Wise by the Alan Parson's Project.

It's Been a Long, Long Time sung by Kitty Kalen (sp?)

Looking for a Miracle by the Moody Blues


Others I'm sure, but lunch begins in five minutes and I have an hour's worth of work to do before then... :evilgrin:

[Karenina]

17. "Misty " in A minor

[steelemagnolia]

174. This version of Misty does it for me

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vizt4ZMhd-M Sarah Vaughn

[Iggo]

18. Oh, and I almost forgot...

You Oughta Know -- Alanis Morisette

Breakup songs from the girl's perspective never got to me until I heard that one.

[BOSSHOG]

19. Candle in the Window

its an old Christmas song by Alabama. My Mom put a candle in my bedroom window when I went off to bootcamp in the early 70's so I could find my way home. I can't hardly listen to it anymore. Mom and Dad are gone but the candle is still in my bedroom.

[AwakeAtLast]

20. Angel - Sarah McLachlan

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CbAjj80NIM


A close 2nd
I Will Remember You - Sarah McLachlan

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSz16ngdsG0&feature=related

Wake Me When September Ends - Green Day

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZuJIr_uW3M

[stuntcat]

62. yeah Angel

the words but also how her voice sounds, it's just, like, haunting

[bif]

21. I forgot "Sunrise, Sunset" from Fiddler on the Roof.

[quip]

96. We have a winnah. Hands down the saddest song. Must have been written in Dm!

[Tikki]

22. "Steppin' Out"....Joe Jackson...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnbj0w8iOeM

Kinda hard to explain...

This songs speaks to me in the awe of when the younger
but getting older Tikkis, together, made the
decision to still go into the lights, into the night.


Tikki

[stuntcat]

60. beautiful song

it's one of those songs, it gives me serious deja vu, it'll always be one of my favorite songs.

[MissMillie]

23. Bring on the Rain

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWYRfsjBNQk

Wise Up

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ez8IZF2Kovk

[skygazer]

24. Oh, and "We've Got Tonight" gets me too

Watched a guy I loved walk away from me one night in a crowded bar and as he went out the door, that damn song came on the jukebox.

What are the odds? :eyes:

[PassingFair]

25. F'ing "Fields of Gold" by F'ing Eva Cassidy

I'm not posting the YouTube link because its
TOO SAD. Someone on THIS MESSAGE BOARD infected
me with it once and it MADE ME CRY OUTRIGHT.

Runner Up: Empty Garden

Elton John - Empty Garden Lyrics


What happened here,
As the New York sunset disappeared?
I found an empty garden among the flagstones there.
Who lived here?
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot,
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop.
And now it all looks strange.
It's funny how one insect can damage so much grain.

And what's it for,
This little empty garden by the brownstone door?
And in the cracks along the sidewalk nothing grows no more.
Who lived here?
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot,
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop.
And we are so amazed! We're crippled and we're dazed....
A gardener like that one, no one can replace.

And I've been knocking, but no one answers.
And I've been knocking, most all the day.
Oh and I've been calling ,oh hey, hey, Johnny!
Can't you come out to play?

And through their tears,
Some say he farmed his best in younger years.
But he'd have said that roots grow stronger, if only he couldhear.
Who lived there?
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot,
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop.
Now we pray for rain, and with every drop that falls.....
We hear, we hear your name.....

And I've been knocking, but no one answers.
And I've been knocking, most all the day.
Oh and I've been calling ,oh hey, hey, Johnny!
Can't you come out to play,
In your empty garden?
Johnny?
Can't you come out to play, in your empty garden?

[suninvited]

36. Even listening to the CD of Eva singing

Fields of Gold gets me every time, I couldnt handle the link !

[LibDemAlways]

116. I've posted it here before, so maybe it was me.

I never get misty eyed over music. I don't cry at movies - even when kleenex is being used all around me. But I can't listen to Eva Cassidy without getting choked up. She had an amazing voice.

[zanne]

26. "September Song" nt

[quip]

98. Ohh, that reminds me of: Try to Remember, from The Fantastiks.

[Arkansas Granny]

27. "Back Home Again" by John Denver always brings a lump to my throat.

[KansDem]

30. My wife too!

She's a big J.D. fan...:hi:

[steelemagnolia]

171. Me too eom

[Oeditpus Rex]

28. 'Wish You Were Here'

No explanation needed, really.



I have others, but their effect comes from an over-developed sense of nostalgia rather than a connection to a person or event.

[Richardo]

29. American Tune

That's made me tear up since the 70s :cry:

[Perry Logan]

75. Me, too. What a great song.

[bunkerbuster1]

144. I was going to post that.

I always loved the song since I first heard it in the 70s, but it didn't really get to me emotionally until after Kerry lost.

[EnviroBat]

31. Mad mad world.

I think originally by Tears for Fears, but redone later.

[stuntcat]

59. this one

yeah.

[geardaddy]

32. "I'll Stand by You"

by the Pretenders.

[geardaddy]

33. Here's mine

"Camptown Races"

[BarenakedLady]

34. Edelweiss

We sang it Sunday at my Nana's memorial.

:cry:

[RFKHumphreyObama]

49. I'm sorry BNL

:hug:

[skater314159]

102. Hugs for you

during your period of mourning.
:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

:loveya:

[LibDemAlways]

119. Heartfelt condolences on your Nana's passing.

Years ago when I was a teacher, an eight grader's father died suddenly and unexpectedly. Edelweiss was played at the funeral. It was very moving. Still gives me chills thinking about it.

[lost-in-nj]

37. can't cry hard enough by the Williams brothers

I'm gonna live my life
like every days' the last
without a simple goodbye it all goes by so fast

and now that you're gone I can't cry heard enough
I can't cry hard enough
for you to hear me now

gonna open my eyes and see for the first time
I've let go of you like
a child letting go of his kite

There it goes up in the sky
there it goes beyond the clouds
for no reason why
I can't cry hard enough
No, I can't cry hard enough for you to hear me now

gonna look back in vain and see you standing there
when all that remains is just an empty chair
and now that you're gone
I can't cry hard enough, I can't cry hard enough
for you to hear me now

There it goes, up in the sky
there it goes beyond the clouds
for no reason why
I can't cry hard enough, no I can't cry hard enough
for you to hear me now



and The last Song by Elton John

Yesterday you came to lift me up
As light as straw and brittle as a bird
Today I weigh less than a shadow on the wall
Just one more whisper of a voice unheard

Tomorrow leave the windows open
As fear grows please hold me in your arms
Won't you help me if you can to shake this anger
I need your gentle hands to keep me calm

`Cause I never thought I'd lose
I only thought I'd win
I never dreamed I'd feel
This fire beneath my skin
I can't believe you love me
I never thought you'd come
I guess I misjudged love
Between a father and his son

Things we never said come together
The hidden truth no longer haunting me
Tonight we touched on the things that were never spoken
That kind of understanding sets me free


There are others but these two are guaranteed to make me cry
lost

[LeftyFingerPop]

40. Two of many....

These are by The Who....

Christmas

See Me Feel Me

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPmijD6jqHs

[Cabcere]

41. Oh, man. Probably too many to name...

...and for too many different reasons, but I'll try. :hi:

- "Daniel" by Elton John
- "Danny Boy" (traditional)
- "More Than A Name On A Wall" by the Statler Brothers
- The Marines' Hymn
- "It Is Well With My Soul"
...all of those remind me too much of my friend Danny, who was killed in Iraq last Valentine's Day. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

- "Yesterday" by The Beatles
- "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" by Aerosmith
...both of those are painful reminders of love gone bad. :(

- "How Many Friends" by The Who ("How many friends have I really got?/Can count 'em on one hand"...not so much anymore, but there was a time...)

- "Hurt" - the Johnny Cash version (if you've seen the video, you need no explanation.) :cry:

- "Tuesday's Gone" by Lynyrd Skynyrd (not sure why, but this song makes me sad)

- "The Final Cut" by Pink Floyd ("Through the fish-eyed lens of tear-stained eyes/I can barely define the shape of this moment in time/And far from flying high in clear blue skies/I'm spiraling down to the hole in the ground where I hide"...those lyrics pretty much summed up my life at one point.)


I'm sure there are several more, but those are the ones that come to mind at the moment. Now I'm going to get a box of tissues and some chocolate... :P :hi:

Edited to add "It Is Well With My Soul" - our high school band played that as a tribute to Danny after his death, and I had to leave the concert hall before they even finished. :cry:

[Strawman]

42. This one

Robyn Hitchcock - The Speed Of Things Lyrics

All in the terror of the moment
That pounces as it open swings
A line of dots illuminated
For I have seen the speed of things

I fed you in your chair this morning
You made a mess of everything
By afternoon, you drove a sports car
You were driving at the speed of things

You held my hand when I was crying
You were allergic to bee stings
I threw some earth onto your coffin
And thought about the speed of things

I kissed you by the clear, cold river
I felt like I was growing wings
But I grew horns and found another
Oh, a girl to share the speed of things
Oh, a girl to share the speed of things

All in the terror of the moment
That pounces as it open swings
A line of dots illuminated
For I have seen the speed of things

[lightningandsnow]

43. I Don't Want to Live on the Moon (from Sesame Street)

I know that's lame, but that song makes me cry. Especially the original version with Jim Henson, although Shawn Colvin's version is absolutely gorgeous...

It makes me think about how much I'd miss all my friends if I couldn't see them anymore.

It also reminds me, a lot, of my friend who is living in Thailand for the next year, but returning to my city after that - how it might be nice to travel and visit other places, but it's always great to come back home.

[LisaM]

47. Kilkelly, Ireland

It makes me cry so hard that I end up laughing and crying at the same time. I started crying TELLING someone about it once. It should be banned. Worse, it's true - put together from real letters! Read on if you dare.




Kilkelly, Ireland, 18 and 60, my dear and loving son John
Your good friend the schoolmaster Pat McNamara's so good
as to write these words down.
Your brothers have all gone to find work in England,
the house is so empty and sad
The crop of potatoes is sorely infected,
a third to a half of them bad.
And your sister Brigid and Patrick O'Donnell
are going to be married in June.
Your mother says not to work on the railroad
and be sure to come on home soon.

Kilkelly, Ireland, 18 and 70, dear and loving son John
Hello to your Mrs and to your 4 children,
may they grow healthy and strong.
Michael has got in a wee bit of trouble,
I guess that he never will learn.
Because of the dampness there's no turf to speak of
and now we have nothing to burn.
And Brigid is happy, you named a child for her
and now she's got six of her own.
You say you found work, but you don't say
what kind or when you will be coming home.

Kilkelly, Ireland, 18 and 80, dear Michael and John, my sons
I'm sorry to give you the very sad news
that your dear old mother has gone.
We buried her down at the church in Kilkelly,
your brothers and Brigid were there.
You don't have to worry, she died very quickly,
remember her in your prayers.
And it's so good to hear that Michael's returning,
with money he's sure to buy land
For the crop has been poor and the people
are selling at any price that they can.

Kilkelly, Ireland, 18 and 90, my dear and loving son John
I guess that I must be close on to eighty,
it's thirty years since you're gone.
Because of all of the money you send me,
I'm still living out on my own.
Michael has built himself a fine house
and Brigid's daughters have grown.
Thank you for sending your family picture,
they're lovely young women and men.
You say that you might even come for a visit,
what joy to see you again.

Kilkelly, Ireland, 18 and 92, my dear brother John
I'm sorry that I didn't write sooner to tell you that father passed on.
He was living with Brigid, she says he was cheerful
and healthy right down to the end.
Ah, you should have seen him play with
the grandchildren of Pat McNamara, your friend.
And we buried him alongside of mother,
down at the Kilkelly churchyard.
He was a strong and a feisty old man,
considering his life was so hard.
And it's funny the way he kept talking about you,
he called for you in the end.
Oh, why don't you think about coming to visit,
we'd all love to see you again

[QMPMom]

48. I'll Never Find Another You by The Seekers (orNew Seekers?).

Makes me cry like a baby.

[Doc_Technical]

50. "The band played waltzing matilda".

[Skittles]

51. Mike & The Mechanics "Living Years"

I wasn't there that morning
When my Father passed away
I didn't get to tell him
All the things I had to say

I think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
I'm sure I heard his echo
In my baby's new born tears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years

[hellbound-liberal]

71. That one gets me every time Skittles. Leader of the Band by Dan Fogelberg is another one

Sometimes, I really miss my Dad!:(

[Skittles]

78. it is hard

my dad killed himself when he was 50 - you always wonder what could have made a difference

[skater314159]

103. Sending you loving vibes Skittles

loosing your Papa (or Daddy) is always hard... and suicide is always tough for those left behind.


Sending you love and light! :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

52. "Keep Me In Your Heart," Warren Zevon.

Considered in context, especially.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

53. The Mary Ellen Carter...Stan Rogers

:sniffle:

[Hand]

126. Dingdingdingdingding!!!!! We have a WINNA!

Stan Rogers was a god! A GOD, I tell you!

This one always gets my waterworks going, too:

Make and Break Harbour

How still lies the bay in the light western airs
Which blow from the crimson horizon
Once more we tack home with a dry empty hold
Saving gas with the breezes so fair.

She's a kindly Cape Islander, old but still sound
But so lost in the long liner's shadow
Make and Break and make do, but the fish are so few
That she won't be replaced should she founder.

Now it's so hard to not think of before the big war
When the cod went so cheap, but so plenty
Foreign trawlers go by now with long seeking eyes
Taking all where we seldom take any.

And the young folk don't stay with the fisherman's ways
Long ago they all moved to the cities
And the ones left behind old and tired and blind
Won't work for a pound, for a penny.

In Make and Break Harbour the boats are so few
Too many are pulled up and rotten.
Most houses stand empty, old nets hung to dry
Are blown away, lost, and forgotten.

Now I can see the big draggers have stirred up the bay
Leaving lobster traps smashed on the bottom
Do they think it don't pay to respect the old ways
That Make and Break men have not forgotten?

For we still keep our time to the turn of the tide
And this boat that I built with my father
Still lifts to the sky! The one-lunger and I
Still talk like old friends on the water.

In Make and Break Harbour the boats are so few
Too many are pulled up and rotten.
Most houses stand empty old nets hung to dry
Are blown away lost and forgotten.

:cry: :applause:

[IzaSparrow]

54. Fiddle Fever--Ashokan Farewell

[alarimer]

141. That's beautiful n/t

[stuntcat]

55. "Orphan Girl" by Gillian Welch & "If I Had A Boat" by Lyle Lovett

Those two get to me every time but a LOT of songs get to me, lately I tear up at everything. I lost it watching Puppy-Bowl the other day, it was the SWEETNESS that got to me.

[From The Ashes]

56. Just one, really...

There are others that inspire nausea, and anger, but this one makes me tear up:

'Because You Loved Me' by Celine Dion.

It reminds me of my mom, who passed away in 2004.

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

[Frank Cannon]

57. Garth Brooks' "The Dance"

I don't care if you're a country fan or not. That is one hell of a song.

[skater314159]

104. Yep. Hate country

... but that is one hell of a song, as you said.

[crim son]

61. 10,000 Miles, by Mary Chapin Carpenter. Youtube below:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=3kieyW-FKyQ Not the best video, but the song is outstanding.

[CBHagman]

63. Oh, don't get me started.

"Empty Chairs at Empty Tables" and "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables get me every time. In fact, all I have to do is think of the lyrics. It's infinitely worse when I'm watching a live show, which I have done more than once, crying quietly along with the rest of the audience.

[halobeam]

64. I Miss You...

Stevie Nicks / Trouble in Shangri-La

(I was always on the run, never made the time as a kid.. so these lyrics grab something I can never get back)

esp. in this verse:

Seems like yesterday
I think about how much I
Wish that you were here with me now
The invisible girl that was my name
She walks in and walks out
And I'm sorry now
I'm sorry now

(yep, don't even have to hear her sing it... just reading it has the same damn effect
:cry: )

on edit: I KNEW this thread would get me good, but I'd still rather be here than in GD-P!

and, I should add, about 90% of the output of the field mice, or any band that bobby wratten has been in. I love the field mice, but I honestly had to stop listening to it, because I realized that it made me incredibly sad and weepy, when I just wanted to listen to tunes.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

132. Ahhhhhhhh, Gotta Love Ripple!

I always said that his do do doooos at the end are just simply beautiful and peaceful. LOVE that song!

[Bennyboy]

153. My song for my funeral....

There is a road, no simple highway,
Between the dawn and the dark of night,
And if you go no one may follow,
That path is for your steps alone.

The bridge is a haiku also...

Ripple in still water,
When there is no pebble tossed,
Nor wind to blow.

[Catsbrains]

68. "Nothing Compares To You" by Sinead O'Connor

[Lindsey]

69. "No Time" (an old song by The Guess Who) When I was 12, I fell asleep

to that song and then in the middled of the night I heard my big sister screaming that our Dad had been killed in a car wreck. My Dad was the best in the world. He gave his love to us in ways I can't describe. My siblings and I lost a part of our souls that night.

[skater314159]

105. Love and light to you Lin

Reading your post reminded me of a tradition in my father's and grandparent's culture that symbolises what you said.

You never give even numbers of flowers in thier culture/tradition... so if you buy a dozen flowers, you keep one for yourself and give 11 to the person. It shows how the two of you are connected.

The only time you give an even number is when the person dies, you lay them all on their casket as it is laid in the earth, or you scatter the twelve when you distribute your ashes to show that a part of you is now gone forever with them. It is a meaningful symbol, because it helps you put into reality and express what you feel inside.

Sending you light and love honey. :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

[fudge stripe cookays]

124. Isn't it amazing the way a song can evoke such strong memories...

of a terrible time and place?

My dad died the morning of April 1, 1980. I spent much of the day calling relatives for my mom. I was 13. There are people who still tell me of the phone call they got from me, and for the life of me I do not remember calling them. I was still in shock.

The first vivid memory I have of that day is going to get dinner with my cousin who had come over. We needed something relatively large for everyone who kept coming by, so we went to Church's chicken to get a big box of chicken for everyone.

We heard "Too Hot" by Kool and the Gang in the car on the way home, and I always cry when I hear it. Stupid song.

70. 100 Years..

100 Years
Vocal: Five for Fighting
Album: "Battle For Everything"



I'm fifteen for a moment,
caught in between ten and twenty.
And I'm just dreaming,
counting the ways to where you are.

I'm twenty-two for a moment,
and she feels better than ever.
And we're on fire,
making our way back from Mars.

Fifteen, there's still time for you.
Time to buy and time to lose.
Fifteen.
There's never a wish better than this,
When you only got a hundred years to live.

I'm thirty-three for a moment.
I'm still the man,
but you see I'm a they.
A kid on the way, babe,
A family on my mind.

I'm forty-five for a moment.
The sea is high
and I'm heading into a crisis,
chasing the years of my life.

Fifteen, there's still time for you.
Time to buy and time to lose yourself within a morning star.
Fifteen, I'm alright with you.
Fifteen.
There's never a wish better than this,
When you only got a hundred years to live.

How the time goes by,
Suddenly, you're wise.
Another blink of an eye,
Sixty-seven is gone.
The sun is getting high.
We're moving on...

I'm ninety-nine for a moment,
dying for just another moment.
And I'm just dreaming,
counting the ways to where you are.

Fifteen, there's still time for you.
Twenty-two, I feel her, too.
Thirty-three, you're on your way.
Every day's a new day...

Fifteen, there's still time for you.
Time to buy and time to choose.
Hey, fifteen.
There's never a wish better than this,
When you only got a hundred years to live.

Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people,
But it seems the good they die young.
You know, I just looked around and he's gone.

Anybody here seen my old friend John?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people,
But it seems the good they die young.

Anybody here seen my old friend Martin?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people,
But it seems the good they die young.
I just looked 'round and he's gone.

Didn't you love the things that they stood for?
Didn't they try to find some good for you and me?
And we'll be free
Some day soon, and it's a-gonna be one day ...

Anybody here seen my old friend Bobby?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
I thought I saw him walk up over the hill,
With Abraham, Martin and John.

Turn around, turn around
Turn around and you're a young girl going out of my door

Where are you going, my little one, little one
Little dirndls and petticoats, where have you gone?
Turn around and you're tiny, turn around and you're grown
Turn around and you're a young wife with babes of your own

Turn around, turn around
Turn around and you're a young wife with babes of your own

Turn around, turn around
Turn around and you're the young girl going out of the door

Chorus:
Are you goin' away with no word of fare well; will there be not a trace left behind?
I could've loved you better. Didn't mean to be unkind. You know that was the last thing on my mind.

As I lie in my bed ev'ry mornin' without you, without you.
Each song in my heart dies a-bornin' without you, without you.

(Chorus)

You've got reason a-plenty for leavin'. This I know. This I know
For the weeds have been steadily growin'. Please, don't go. Aw, please, don't go.

(Chorus)

(Oh, yeah, I) could have loved you better. Didn't mean to be unkind. You know that was the last thing on my mind.

I've heard it at a couple of wakes/funerals for friends, and when I hear it, it reminds me of the friends I've lost.

The hymn "Let there be peace on earth" also brings images and memories of my friend Christie and her mom who was murdered when we were fifteen... I still get a pang of survivors' guilt and a little PTSD when I hear that song. It was at her funeral where they carried the casket out...

And this song by VNV Nation is what I heard play on my MP3 right when the cops were telling me my dad had been killed:

with the possible exception of Schostakovic's 8th string quartet.

Most songs that get me misty-eyed do so because of a connection to some other form of media that had a storyline to it. I.E., after the Simpsons episode where Bleeding Gums Murphy died, I'd get misty-eyed every time I heard the song Jazz Man. Or when I hear Pippin's song from Lord of the Rings.

My heart is longing for you, love
I cared for you more then you knew
Though you have broken each promise
Yesterday's dreams are untrue


Alone, I'll be yearning tomorrow
When sunshine brings memories of you
My sunshine will turn into sorrow
As a dream of the love you once knew


Why should I always be lonesome
When sunny and blue are the skies
While shadows and loneliness linger
I'm dreaming with tears in my eyes


Why did you promise me sweetheart
Never to leave me alone
Yesterday's sunshine is faded
You're love wasn't true like my own


Alone, I'll be yearning tomorrow
When sunshine brings memories of you
My sunshine will turn into sorrow
As a dream of the love we once knew


Why should I always be lonesome
When sunny and blue are the skies
While shadows and loneliness linger
I'm dreaming with tears in my eyes

122. For Some Reason The Song "Old And Wise" By Alan Parsons Project Has Always Done That To Me.

These are the lyrics, but it's so much more than the lyrics alone. The music is beautiful and the voice haunting.

As far as my eyes can see
There are shadows approaching me
And to those I left behind
I wanted you to know
You've always shared my deepest thoughts
You follow where I go
And oh, when I'm old and wise
Bitter words mean little to me
Autumn Winds will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they asked me if I knew you
I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine
And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes
Oh when I'm old and wise
As far as my eyes can see
There are shadows surrounding me
And to those I leave behind
I want you all to know
You've always shared my darkest hours
I'll miss you when I go
And oh, when I'm old and wise
Heavy words that tossed and blew me
Like Autumn winds that will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they ask you if you knew me
Remember that you were a friend of mine
As the final curtain falls before my eyes
Oh when I'm old and wise
As far as my eyes can see

129. Pomp and Circumstance Seriously

I'm not sure if it has to do with the emotions with my graduations and graduations of friends and family but the song makes me sob....when it gets to the marching part. Here is a Youtube presentation with a bunch of Brits acting funny with it and an except about why it is used for US graduations.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=rU8fK7PV_c0


In America today the tune of the trio from Pomp and Circumstance No. 1 is just as familiar as it is in Britain, but the words are virtually unknown. The tune has become virtually synonymous with school graduation exercises in North America. How did this come about?

Transatlantic involvement with the March began on 28 November 1902, when Elgar’s great American champion, Theodore Thomas, conducted the Chicago Orchestra in its U.S. première at the Auditorium Hall in Chicago. Several further performances followed, but it was not until 1905 that the work was first heard at an American graduation.

With the establishment of the Enigma Variations and The Dream of Gerontius as works of genius, Elgar began to receive many requests from the United States to visit and perhaps conduct some of his works. Elgar resisted these requests at first, but in August 1904, his great American friend, Samuel Sanford, Professor of Applied Music at Yale University, told the 47-year-old composer that he would receive a wonderful reception if he visited the United States. This led Elgar to change his mind and early in 1905 he received an official invitation from Sanford to stay with him at his home in New Haven which he accepted on 17 February. Then, on 15 May, at Sanford’s prompting, Yale University invited Elgar to receive an Honorary Doctor of Music on 28 June.

The Elgars finally left England on the liner Deutschland on 9 June, arriving in New York six days later. Here they were met by Sanford who took them to his beautiful house on Hillhouse Avenue, very close to the main university campus. Sanford was a wonderful host, and despite the hot and often oppressive weather of a New England summer, the couple were able to visit several of the more interesting local towns and villages. On the day preceding the degree ceremony drew near, Elgar developed a dreadful headache but he had recovered sufficiently by the following morning to depart with Sanford for the Woolsey Hall were the ceremony was to take place.

The commencement ceremony itself began with the academic procession that entered the hall to the accompaniment of Mendelsohn’s Ruy Blas overture. There followed a prayer given by the Rev. Dr. Twichell of Hartford and the singing of Psalm LXV. The President of Yale, Arthur Twining Hadley, then addressed the assembly. Following his words, the successful examination candidates, 669 in number, were presented with their degrees.

After this the Meditation and opening chorus, ‘Seek Him that maketh the seven stars’ from Elgar’s Light of Life was performed by the New Haven Symphony Orchestra reinforced by several New York Musicians, while members of the College choir, the Glee Club and a few musical members from the faculty, some fifty in number, made up the chorus. The part of the Blind Man was sung ‘most effectively’ by the tenor, Dr. Charles H. Zimmermann. Professor Harry B. Jepson played the newly installed Newberry organ and Professor Horatio Parker conducted the work. Parker, who Elgar had met previously in England, had taught the young Charles Ives when he was an undergraduate at Yale.

Megan Mullally covered a song originally by Tom Waits, called, "Take It With Me," that I'd add to the list...

Phone's off the hook
No one knows where we are
It's a long time since I
Drank champagne
The ocean is blue
As blue as your eyes
I'm gonna take it with me
When I go

Old long since gone
Now way back when
We lived on Coney Island
Ain't no good thing
Ever dies
I'm gonna take it with me
When I go

Far far away a train
Whistle blows
Wherever you're goin
Wherever you've been
Waving good bye at the end
Of the day
You're up and you're over
And you're far away

Always for you, and
Forever yours
It felt just like the old days
I've worn the faces off
All the cards
I'm gonna take it with me
When I go

Children are playing
At the end of the day
Strangers are singing
On our lawn
It's got to be more
Than flesh and bone
All that you're loved
Is all you own

In a land there's a town
And in that town there's
A house
And in that house
There's a woman
And in that woman
There's a heart I love
I'm gonna take it
With me when I go
I'm gonna take it
With me when I go

She also covered "Danny Boy," which is another one that gets to me sometimes.

Of clueless blues

And no-mans news
Blades will fade from blood to sport
The heroin's cut these fuses short
Smokers rode a colonial pig
Drink and frame this pain i think
I'm melting silver poles my dear
You bleed your wings and then disappear
The moving scenes and pilot lights
Smithereens have got 'em scaling heights
Modern times come talk me down
And battle lines are drawn across this town
Parisian boys without your names
Ghetto stones instead of chains
Talk 'em down cause it's up in flames
And nothing's changed
Parisian boys without your names
Riot like 1968 again
The days of rage yeah nothing's changed
Well pretty flames
In school i would just bite my tongue
And now your words they strike me down
The flags are false and they contradict
They point and click which wounds to lick
On avenues this christian breeze
Turns it's heart to more needles please
Our eyes roll back and we beg for more
It frays this skin and then underscore
The case for war you spin and bleed
The cells you fill screensavers feed
The girls you breed the soaps that you write
The graceless charm of your gutter snipes
The moving scenes and suburbanites
And smithereens got 'em scaling heights
Modern times come talk me down
The battle lines are drawn across this town
English boys without your names
Ghetto stones instead of chains
Hearts and minds and u.s. Planes
Nothing's changed
And english boys without your names
Riot like the 1980's again
The days of rage yeah nothing's changed
More pretty flames
