Surf_Nazis_Must_Die 8958 Report post Posted July 16, 2013 Thanks for all the great responses folks! There's been some really beautiful stuff posted! Another tune that gets me is called I think I need a new heart by The Magnetic Fields I'm currently posting this from my phone and have no idea how to link the song from this blasted contraption! But anyways, it should be on youtube and it has a playfulness to the music that stands in a neat contrast to the lyrics. I recommend that interested parties check it out :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spud271 47779 Report post Posted July 16, 2013 Puddle Of Mudd - Blurry This song has always made me sad. I've had to miss pretty much my son's entire life, and couldn't be there when he needed me the most. Even though he understand know, he doesn't realize that I thought of him every hour, of every day that I was away from him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcguy42 38594 Report post Posted August 2, 2013 As someone who went through the whole Vietnam era thing and as someone who knows too many people in the same situation as the song subject, this one always brings tears: by Steve Goodman. Because the first time I heard this song was at three in the morning in Intensive Care standing beside my comatose son, this one always does that, too: by Sarah McLachlan.

olderguy 5797 Report post Posted August 2, 2013 Had to do a eulogy at the funeral of a dear friend. He asked that we play the song "Dust in the Wind" by Kansas when I was done. Although he passed 10 years ago, I still get a lump in my throat when I here that song :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gc1968 2033 Report post Posted August 4, 2013 Ryan's song - Phil Keaggy sad but uplifting as well. He had written the music for this song after he and his wife lost their son soon after he was born; the words were from a poem written by a friend for them.
