dragster Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 This one always gets me...............RIP brother James!! This is a man's world, this is a man's world But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl You see, man made the cars to take us over the road Man made the trains to carry heavy loads Man made electric light to take us out of the dark Man made the boat for the water, like Noah made the ark This is a man's, a man's, a man's world But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl Man thinks about a little baby girls and a baby boys Man makes then happy 'cause man makes them toys And after man has made everything, everything he can You know that man makes money to buy from other man This is a man's world But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl He's lost in the wilderness He's lost in bitterness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspensound Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 This song is, if not in it words, but in it´s melancholy bluesy melody sadly, but also very beautiful one. Listen to it. Mourning Sad Morning by Free FRASER/RODGERS Sunday morning I rise and I stand to face a new dawn Sunday morning a new day is born such a long way to go and so little time to get there such a long way to go but I want you to remember all the love we used to know think of me sometimes my love. Morning morning, sad day Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Morning morning, sad day Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! In the evening I sit and my thoughts they turn to you in the evening I think of my home and I need you to remember all the love we used to know think of me sometimes my love Morning morning, sad day Ah!

Jahfin Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hello walls, (Hello, hello.) How'd things go for you today? Don't you miss her. Since she up and walked away? And I'll bet you dread to spend another lonely night with me, But lonely walls, I'll keep you company. Hello window, (Hello, hello.) Well, I see that you're still here. Aren't you lonely, Since our darlin disappeared? Well look here, is that a teardrop in the corner of your pane? Now don't you try to tell me that's it's rain. She went away and left us all alone the way she planned. Guess we'll have to learn to get along without her if we can. Hello ceiling, (Hello, hello.) I'm gonna stare at you a while. You know I can't sleep, So won't you bear with me a while? We gotta all stick together or else I'll lose my mind. I gotta feelin' she'll be gone a long, long time. (Hello, hello wall.)

Knebby Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 (edited) Ian Hunter "You Nearly Did Me In " gets me every time. Oh and this one - Michael Picasso, which he wrote for Mick Ronson. Just lovely, and so sad. Once upon a time Not so long ago People used to stand and stare At the spider with the platinum hair They thought you were immortal We had our ups and downs Like brothers often do But I was there for him He was always there for me And we were there for you How can I put into words What my heart feels? It's the deepest thing When somebody you love dies I just wanted To give something back to you Gift to gift Michael, michael picasso good night You used to love our house You said it was relaxing Now I walk in the places you walk I talk in all the spaces you talk It still hasn't sunk in Are the words real That come into my head On a morning walk? Do the shadows Play tricks with my mind? For it feels like Nothing has changed But I know it has Michael, michael picasso Good night Heal me Won't you Heal me? Nothing lasts forever Set me free Heal me Won't you Heal me? I'm the one who's left here Heal me Heal me Heal me You turned into a ghost Surrounded by your pain And the thing that I liked the least Was sitting 'round Hasker Street Lying about the future And we all sit In a room full of tears On a windy day And I look back But none of these words seem right I just wanted To give something back to you Gift to gift Michael, michael picasso Good night Edited February 6, 2008 by Knebby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuzzyMerkin Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Walk in silence, Dont walk away, in silence. See the danger, Always danger, Endless talking, Life rebuilding, Dont walk away. Walk in silence, Dont turn away, in silence. Your confusion, My illusion, Worn like a mask of self-hate, Confronts and then dies. Dont walk away. People like you find it easy, Naked to see, Walking on air. Hunting by the rivers, Through the streets, Every corner abandoned too soon, Set down with due care. Dont walk away in silence, Dont walk away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rover Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 (edited) That song just rains Green!!! Not "purple" rain...but a "Green" rain . . . The scene in Blade Runner where Deckard roughly reveals to Rachael her replicancy, makes me tear up...it's very emotional...

The Rover Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 (edited) Adagio for Strings - Samuel Barber. This was played at the Albert Hall on the 'Last Night of the Proms' not long after 9/11. I was in Hyde Park for 'Proms in the Park' and the whole place was completely silent, just about everyone was crying. It’s always brought a lump to my throat but even more so now that I associate it with those tragic events. Just 2 Days after 9/11, I went to a 9/11 Memorial service at the Broadway Baptist Church in Ft. Worth. We drove through a torrential downpour that afternoon to get there. The Ft. Worth Symphony Orchestra flawlessly performed that piece. I was already familiar with the work, from it's masterful and cinematic use in Oliver Stone's "Platoon". I was so moved and impressed to hear it performed live, that I went out the very next day, and drove into Dallas, to a Classical Record shop, and purchased the Digitally Remastered the New York Philharmonic version conducted by Thomas Schippers, from 1965 [sony Classical Masterworks Heritage MHK 62837]. *********************** There is another "Adagio" that is poignant, and is very moving to me.... It's "Gayaneh's Adagio" by the Armenian Composer Aram Khachaturian, as used by Stanley Kubrick in his Science-Fiction Masterpiece "2001: A Space Odyssey". It so perfectly exemplifies the loneliness of inter-planetary space travel in that film. I found a version conducted by the Composer in 1962, with the Wiener Philharmonic in Vienna, Austria. [London (Decca) 417 732-2] It's 4:17. Edited February 8, 2008 by The Rover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rover Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 "That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be" was the opening track on Carly Simon's self-titled debut/studio album, released in February 1971. The album was released by Elektra Records and produced by Eddie Kramer, who had previously worked with Joe Cocker and Jimi Hendrix. Jacob Brackman, the lyricist, met Carly Simon in 1968 when they were both working as counselors at a summer camp in the Berkshires. The two became close friends. Carly Simon's father was Richard L. Simon (co-founder of Simon & Schuster, Inc.), an accomplished pianist who often played Chopin and Beethoven at home. Her mother was Andrea Louise Simon a biracial (black and white) Jewish civil rights activist and singer. Carly was raised in the Riverdale neighborhood of the Bronx, NY. Carly Simon ~ Music ---and--- Jacob Brackman ~ Lyrics "That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be" My father sits at night with no lights on His cigarette glows in the dark. The living room is still; I walk by, no remark. I tiptoe past the master bedroom where My mother reads her magazines. I hear her call sweet dreams, But I forgot how to dream. But you say it's time we moved in together And raised a family of our own, you and me - Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be: You want to marry me, we'll marry. My friends from college they're all married now; They have their houses and their lawns. They have their silent noons, Tearful nights, angry dawns. Their children hate them for the things they're not; They hate themselves for what they are- And yet they drink, they laugh, Close the wound, hide the scar. But you say it's time we moved in together And raised a family of our own, you and me - Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be: You want to marry me, we'll marry. You say we can keep our love alive Babe - all I know is what I see - The couples cling and claw And drown in love's debris. You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds, But soon you'll cage me on your shelf - I'll never learn to be just me first By myself. Well O.K., it's time we moved in together And raised a family of our own, you and me - Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be, You want to marry me, we'll marry, We'll marry.

ledsabbath Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 The most moving song I've heard is "The drugs don't work" by 'The Verve'. Very sad and melancholy. Another one is a gorgeous country style rambling ballad called "Lonely won't leave me alone" by 'The Arlenes'. The woman who sings this has a great voice.
