August 23, 20214 yr Song starts at :55. I've said before that you make an old farrier like Mr. Seymour cry, you have written the saddest song, EVER.
August 23, 20214 yr And posted above was this one by Jesse Winchester. I LOVE this live version....and watching Neko and how it hits her. The combo of the chords, melody and his voice just adds so much to the depth and feeling of this one. Edited August 23, 20214 yr by hullabelew

August 23, 20214 yr Heart did a good version, especially considering this was live. Edited August 23, 20214 yr by hullabelew

August 24, 20214 yr shitty album, but this song got me through a break up around that time go fuck yourself, Erin, I hope you're fat and lonely you lying cunt
August 24, 20214 yr This song also breaks me now that Mom passed away. She loved all the old MGM musicals. A couple months after she died, my son had this playing in his room and I broke. I'm pretty sure I can't listen to it again... yet.
August 25, 20214 yr My dad died of complications arising out of primary progressive aphasia, which is similar to Alzheimer's. He didn't really recognize me at the end. So this song hits home for me.
August 25, 20214 yr When we lost our baby 8 months pregnant, as I was driving from the hospital for a break, Tears In Heaven by Eric Clapton came on the radio. Almost wrecked before I could pull over. In Color by Jamey Johnson gets me for some reason.
August 25, 20214 yr After living in Argentina for over 7 years, I got a little used to tango music. One song in particular, "Adios Nonino", was written by Astor Piazzola upon hearing that his father had died back in Argentina. (Piazzola was working in New York at the time.) I returned Stateside to live because my dad was old and his health wasn't great. When he finally passed away, I just posted the following video to announce that he was gone. (The bandoneon player is a bit of a ham, but when the conductor, André Rieu, comes in with the violin, tears start to form and drip down my cheeks. It did against last night.) "Adios Nonino" Part II: The current queen of The Netherlands is from Argentina. When she married the Dutch prince back in 2002, she had the song played at her wedding... perhaps in part because her father wasn't allowed to attend the ceremony due to his position as a military officer during the 1976-1983 military dictatorship. Tango is all about melancholy, missed opportunities, better times in the past... There are no words to this song, but words really aren't needed to hit you in the feels.
August 25, 20214 yr my meaning of this song is much different than Peter Grabriel's. regardless, very cool, simple, melancholy song.

August 28, 20214 yr 31 minutes ago, closetohumping said: Cats in the Cradle by Harry Chapin Long story short, I ended up in TN shortly after leaving Austin in my early 20's. Met my wife. Started a family. In a twist of luck/fate, I brought the family back to Texas 4 years ago. I began taking my, then, 10-year old to watch football games at my alma mater, Garland High. Last night, was the first time in which we went to the game with him as a student of Garland. Cats in the Cradle came on during the drive home. He said something along the lines of, "Yeah, I won't be like that with you when I'm older". I'm pretty sure I covered up the allergic reaction. Also. @Napoleon My wife and I had planned a trip to Vegas last year which was disrupted by Covid. We're trying again this spring break (both of us teachers). It just so happens, Rieu will have a concert there during our stay. I am really, REALLY excited about being able to see him live. Edited August 28, 20214 yr by Knoxtnhorn Terrible teacher grammar.

Being 40 with a 7 month old and having a father in a nursing home with a traumatic brain injury this song just get’s the tears flowing. @Clintonaldo Bro. It's been awhile. I'm truly sorry to hear about your father. I was going to post the following. I was extremely close to my WWII vet, farmer grandfather. He died my freshman year at Texas. I still harbor all kinds of guilt because I kind of "hid" in Austin during the last few months. I couldn't stand to see him in wilt away to cancer. Anyway, I was watching True Detective (I think season 2) and they played this song. It hit me really hard. His voice sounds exactly like my grandfather singing hymnals at the small, Brownwood, TX church he essentially build. Edited August 28, 20214 yr by Knoxtnhorn
August 28, 20214 yr Funny side note that Clintonaldo might appreciate being from TN. My wife absolutely cannot stand Conway Twitty. She said, growing up, her grandparents forced her to go to some place called Twitty City or somesuch. She grew up in Clarksville, TN. I guess this was a Conway Twitty tourist attraction. Anyway, the song comes on and I'm tearing up while she's ranting.
August 28, 20214 yr @Knoxtnhorn I had never heard of Rieu before searching out renditions of Adios Nonino 3 to 5 years ago, but after watching that so many times, I’ve thought about checking out one of his summer concerts one day. Re: Cats In The Cradle That was on the radio in the kitchen once when I was in my teens to early 20s and I asked my dad if he’d ever heard that song. (He grew up with big band music.) He replied: “That song is a total bummer.” He was probably somewhere in his 60s at that point, but he wasn’t wrong. 🥺

My dad loved Josh Groban so we had it playing in the hospice room. As we were huddled around him telling him we loved him as he was gasping for breath (because hospice dehydrates a person, kills their kidneys and then they drowned in their own fluid 😭), Josh Groban’s “You’ll Never Walk Alone” started playing. I didn’t say anything, but I will probably always remember it… And I have been crying as I have been typing this in my phone. 😭

Hate when it's on, but I can't turn it off either. And it's like 40 years old or something? Still applies to any generation. I said it before, but The Walk by Sawyer Brown really hits as I see what's in the not too far future.

One of these days we will meet up at a Texas Tennessee game.
August 28, 20214 yr If I play this song at an 11 of 10, and I think back on all those wild animals I ran with who are dead of overdose or misadventure or spending their lives in jail, I can get caught up in the emotions of brotherhood and a short, nasty, brutish life:

Me and my buddies were too cool for that "pussy-ass shit" and "crank the Metallica", etc. Then I had kids and the song just blasts me in in the heart every time I hear it. My kids are 19 now and I'm sure they think I'm a dork when I listen to some pussy-ass song, too. They shall learn one day. Two that I try to avoid when driving are "Sweet Little Jesus Boy" by Andy Williams and "Were you there when they crucified my Lord" by Johnny Cash. I only listen to those when I'm alone, too. No one needs to see my fat ass blubbering.
August 29, 20214 yr Agree on tears in heaven. I did not do songs or movies or anything that has to do with kids dying. Solid no go.Two daughters and a beautiful wife falls into this category as well.

September 4, 20214 yr Author I am by no means a Garth fanbut “lonely women and bad booze, worn out tapes of Chris ledoux “ sort of hurts
September 4, 20214 yr Fleurie (Nashville vocalist) - Hurts Like Hell. Do not listen to if really really sad. Seriously.
September 7, 20214 yr Scott Miller wrote a song after a friend committed suicide and left 8 year old twins and a husband. Such a beautiful song and a nice tribute to a friend. I don’t know how he can get through this.
