OT: Songs that make you think

[Bama fan]

This day is seared into my brain forever:

 

[Bama fan]

 

[quavik]

I've been playing the circle game for a long time, and you??

 

[Bama fan]

Ooh, they're red ,white, and blue:

 

[cohenzone]

this song is about Down syndrome. My grandson decided to take a girl with Down to his senior prom

Neil Young and Crazy Horse - Pardon My Heart:

Between Jackson Browne and Joni Mitchell it seems at times like they have written quite a bit of the soundtrack for my life:

 

[Scud49]

Daddy's gone, my brother's out huntin' in the mountains
Big John's been drinkin' since the river took Annie-Lou
So the powers that he left me here to do the thinkin'
And I just turned twenty-two
I was wonderin' what to do
The closer it got the more those feelings grew.....

 

[quavik]

This starts out bright and positive, then succumbs to something else: "...true love could have been a contender...say a prayer for the pretender, who started out so young and strong, only to surrender..." OUCH

 

[Scud49]

Beatles - "Things We Said Today":

Someday, when we're dreaming
Deep in love, not a lot to say
Then we will remember
Things we said today......

 

[quavik]

Almost forgot about Neil, but this one always makes me stop what i'm doing and sing along:

 

[Scud49]

Bob Dylan - "Just Like a Woman":

 

[Scud49]

Bob Dylan - "It Ain't Me Babe":

 

[Scud49]

The Beatles - "In My Life":

There are places I'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain....

 

[quavik]

This one cuts my to my bones (spent over 40 years "out riding fences" except in my case the fences were mountains & expeditions - Alaska, Polar, it didn't matter as long as i was "out riding"). They were never there when i got back, except for one...that i let slip though...

"If You Go Away" is an adaptation of the 1959 Jacques Brel (Belgium) song "Ne me quitte pas" with English lyrics by Rod McKuen"_
