Day 11: A Song That Makes You Cry

Every song does, at some point... but one hits me EVERY time...
Perfect Circle - R.E.M.
It's not actually sad, it's from the era of "what the hell is he singing" Stipe, but it's the feel... it sounds crepuscular, the day fading on a summer evening, low light, golden, long shadows and the feeling of something amazing slipping away and never to e repeated.
Oh yeah, the drummer wrote it... how good were they!

11: A Song That Makes You Cry

A man, a guitar and a great story. For me it doesn't get better than this.
'She ran away from home in her mother's best coat,
she was married before she was even entitled to vote.'

Have you read Richard Thompson's book? It is very good and funny. Doesn't give much away about some things, but well worth checking out.

Day 11: A song that makes you cry

Not because it is a sad song, but because at a very low point in my life, I heard this song and drew strength from it. It was what I needed to hear that day. I often cry when I hear it now as all those emotions come flooding back.

Pearl Jam - Alive

Day 11: A song that makes you cry

I wouldn't say this makes me cry but it certainly tugs at the heart strings.

While I am not anyone's son, I was certainly seen as such in my early life. This song recalls a lot of those emotions and the trauma that lives deep in my bones still. But it also hits on a future that has just recently become available to me, a path I've taken my first steps on towards possible reconciliation.

All I can say is that while I would have loved things in my life to have gone differently, I wouldn't change any of my decisions. And I'm glad I stayed true to myself, and kept "kissing boys in the streets" despite it all.

Calum Scott - Boys In The Street
