This will do it to...but I have to hear it in San Francisco

this song makes me emotional because its so beautiful. it doesn't need lyrics to tell the meaning of the song. you can FEEL it in the music and the way he plays his guitar.
it makes me happy and sad at the same time. the version off the Time Machine album is AMAZING. my dad and i were driving along in the car one evening and the song was playing. he said "i want this song played at my funeral." i just wanted to burst into tears because i can't imagine the day he's gone. but then i thought "...that would be a great song to have played at a funeral."

You told me you loved me - Cinematic Sunrise
You said you loved me
More than anyone else could ever know,
But now, you're leaving.
Can we just try to work this out?
And I've never been one to beg...
The nights get lonely,
And all I have left is memories with you.
I tried to save this,
But now there's nothing left for me to do.
And I've never been one to beg...
Please don't go,
Just stay.
I watch with tears in my eyes as you walked away.
Miss your voice and your touch,
And if I told you I loved you could that...be enough?
And now there's silence.
It's been too long since I've heard from you.
And I lay with secrets knowing that my heart still longs for you.
And I've never been one to beg...
Please don't go,
Just stay.
I watch with tears in my eyes as you walked away.
Miss your voice and your touch,
And if I told you I loved you could that be enough?
Please don't go,
Just stay.
I watch with tears in my eyes as you walked away.
Miss your voice and your touch,
And if I told you loved you could that be enough?
And tonight,
I stay home,
And miss you more than you'll ever know.
And tonight,
I stay home,
and miss you more than you'll ever know.
And tonight
I stay home,
and miss you more than you'll ever know.
And tonight,
I stay home,
and miss you more than you'll ever know.
This song gets me all the time! It's just so powerfully written. So much emotion.
I'm guessing none of you guys have ever heard this song (since I have a weird music taste) but i'd check it out.

Depending on my mood, the final songs done as solo works by the late Karen Carpenter are hard for me to listen to without a tear. I have known and respected both Richard and Karen as musicians and had met Richard Carpenter multiple times as we both collect Chrysler automobiles.
Karen's voice was one of the most pure and perfect female voices to come in decades, her talent and drive for perfection were beyond imagination and both she and Richard are very good people.
All the work to help her, all the work to treat her illness was lost when she sustained heart damage from the years of her eating disorders. Her death was a tragedy and who knows what she may have accomplished if her health had recovered and her musical talent had continued to evolve and grow.

almost lover by a fine frenzy chokes me up because it makes me think of the past.

Quite a few, actually. I'm a sap. You better be home soon by Crowded House is always associated with the last, very sweet, scene in "The sum of us." It works.
Lots of stuff by Leonard Cohen (who wrote Hallelujah), notably:
YouTube - Leonard Cohen - Joan of Arc the backup singers are fantastic. The blonde, Julie Christensen, is smoking!
YouTube - HALLELUJAH (Jeff Buckley's version) cover A cover by some anonymous young man. Where is his recording contract?
YouTube - seems so long ago, nancy Based on a true story, so I have read.
YouTube - Tower of Song Poignant in relation to my own aging. Funny too, in places. The man is seventy-four and on world tour!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5iW5TQOmPQ It's so rare to hear a love song in which the pronouns are not changed to avoid sounding "gay."
Jason's choice of Jerusalem is wonderfullty evocative of my anglophilic nostalgia.

Hey! I was going to say that. I'm listening to it (and tearing up) at this very moment.
...Except I was thinking of the original version:

Another one that really gets me is Gary Jule's version of "Mad World" from the movie Donnie Darko.

I'm not proud. I cry like a baby whenever I hear this one: George Strait's "Love Without End, Amen."
