Songs about love and loss

[Waquoit]

Maybe this qualifies for the "love" part. It was a hit in the 50's by the Ames Brothers from Malden Ma. (Ed had a long career as a solo.)

Best known for this:

 

[Scud49]

That's a great album

Oh yea, can't agree more. Rolling Stone has it included in their "Greatest 500 albums of All Time".

 

[Hoops66]

Is there a more beautiful voice than Karen's? Some as good maybe, but no one better. What a tragic loss.

 

[Hoops66]

Another beautiful voice and beautiful lady. More famous for "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue" but I like this song even more.

This acoustic version of "Old Love" by Eric Clapton....with Chuck Leavell on piano....Clapton's soft vocals toward the end.....just wow:

[Scud49]

The Moodies, this one is almost hypnotic:

Take another sip my love and see what you will see,
A fleet of golden galleons, on a crystal sea.
Are you sitting comfortably?
Let Merlin cast his spell.

Ride along the winds of time and see where we have been,
The glorious age of Camelot, when Guinevere was Queen.
It all unfolds before your eyes
As Merlin casts his spell.

 

[Hoops66]

This has to be the one of the best duet recordings in the country music songbook. Jim Reeves and Patsy Cline....none better.

 

[Hoops66]

She is probably the greatest female singer of them all and certainly the number one song writer. She has also donated over 140 million books to children. Too many songs to pick No.1 but this is in the top 5.

 

[Bigboote]

A couple from Justin Hayward. The first is from Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds.

 

[Bigboote]

This one was from the Moodies first album after their hiatus in the 70's.

 

[Ozimoto]

I don't think this one has been posted. Dennis Yost had quite the voice.

 

[Scud49]

Justin Hayward - here's a wonderful song by him of amour and love: Bedtime Stories. There's a little bit more to the story, you see there was an incredible girl once in Colorado that I knew; this was one of her absolute favorite songs.....and.....oh well, you get the picture:

 

[Bigboote]

Here's another unconventional one, from Kate Price.

 

[Ozimoto]

Since we are really getting in the weeds and going back in time, here is a song about Lady Jane Seymour and her death after the birth of Henry the VIII's son...

 

[Waquoit]

This one has love and loss in the title. The poor guy is never, never gonna love again.

 

[Beemer]

This has to be the one of the best duet recordings in the country music songbook. Jim Reeves and Patsy Cline....none better.

IIRC this was recorded after their deaths- each had recorded the song earlier and by engineering magic a duet was created. But don't quote me I could be wrong!!!

I believe that you are correct. Thanks for adding this. Still sounds pretty good though. It was probably the same thing that was done for Nat and Natalie Cole. Unforgettable.

Also Hank Williams Jr. & Hank Sr. "There's A Tear In My Beer"

Don't know why I forgot this one. Put me back on the dance floor with.....

My favorite Buddy Holly song.

 

[Hoops66]

My favorite Buddy Holly song.

Yes, me too. I was just thinking that a nice tribute "OT" topic would be "Those we lost too soon." There are far too many great artists we have lost to plane crashes, illnesses, drugs, and other causes. Just a thought.
