One song that made you feel something.

I'm gonna post two...

Eric Bogle - No Man's Land (Green Fields of France)

I'm told one of my father's cousins died in WW I and is buried somewhere in France... Two of his oldest brothers fought in WW II but both made it home. I've never managed to sing it all the way through...



Terry Jacks - Seasons In The Sun

With some songs used in movies and TV it's hard to separate the impact of the song itself from what's happening on-screen, especially in memory (Circle of Life from The Lion King had me in tears during the opening minutes of the film) but I think this one stands well enough on its own.

 

[Scribe]

I think this one captures the hurt, confusion, and frustration of being a teenager while managing to be euphoric at the same time. It's a helluva piece of songwriting:

I just gotta say, Fender is very impressive for his age. I really dig what he is laying down. Also, wish I had a voice like that.

I have a soft spot for her as well, as my father used to listen to her constantly in the house. I also like her version of Greensleeves.

Another interesting pairing is McKennit's version of the Highwayman:


And Phil Och's version of the same poem:


I always liked the poem and both their musical interpretations of it

 

[Thomas Shey]

Yeah, her version of "The Highwayman" is good too.

I'm getting married next month, and the song "Never Stop (wedding version)" by SafetySuit keeps me excited about the big day. Here's the YouTube link to the song:

i have to go with 13 angels standing guard 'round the side of your bed. makes me feel like i'm saying goodbye to something for the last time.
