That one special song

[Gaucho]

Re: OMG..

This thread could not have come at a better time. I discovered "that special song" TODAY. It moves me like no song I've ever heard in my life.. We started learning it in choir, and when the prof read the words out loud I almost lost it. I can't sing or listen to it without a lump in my throat. It's called sing me to heaven:

In my heart's sequestered chambers lies truth stripped of poet's gloss
Words alone are vain and vacant, and my heart is mute
In response to aching silence, memories summon half-heard voices,
And my soul finds primal eloquence and wraps me in song, wraps me in song

If you would comfort me, sing me a lullaby;
If you would woo my heart, sing me a love song;
If you would mourn me and bring me to God, sing me a requiem,
Sing me to Heaven

Touch in me all love and passion, pain and pleasure
Touch in me all dreams and comfort, love and passion, pain and pleasure
Sing me a lullaby, a love song, a requiem
Love me, comfort me, bring me to God
Sing me a love song
Sing me to Heaven

Yeah, but can you dance to it?

Seriously, for me it's usually a combination of 1) Never hearing a particular song on the radio, so when someone actually plays it, it's like "Jesus, where did that come from?" or 2) Hearing a great song at an unusual time.

The first one for me would be Harry Chapin's "Taxi". One of my favorite all-time songs. The second would be when I was driving a 26 foot U-Haul across the Arizona desert in the dead of night, playing with the dials and finding nothing but WJesus for comfort, when suddenly, out of nowhere, Steely Dan's "Babylon Sisters" blares out of the speakers. Man, you talk about chills.

The live version of "Fire" by Bruce is the ultimate version.....


My feel-good song.......

"Spirit in the Sky" by Norman Greenbaum....I just love that guitar sound........

 

[Samuari]

Endlessly, that is wonderfull! Can you upload audio? I'd love to hear it. As everyone who has read my profile knows, Puff, the Magic Dragon, by Petter, Paul, and Mary. is my song.

That One Special Song

Crazy, by Patsy Cline. I'm sighing as I type.

 

[wolfie69]

It has to be the blues

"Eve" My song would have to be "Stormy Monday" by any good blues singer.... other than that "Melissa" by the Allman Brothers..... kissses

 

[RisiaSkye]

"Mountain's o' Things" by Tracy Chapman
"Cover Me" by Candlebox (I know, I know..but it's a great song! Honest!)
"Ain't Nobody's Bizness" by Billie Holiday
"The Thrill is Gone" and "Standing on the Edge" by B.B. King

I just can't pick one!

 

[April]

One of my favorites is "You Send Me" by Sam Cooke.

 

[eyefish]

When the Ole Miss marching band plays "Dixie" at the start of its halftime show. It always causes a shiver to run thru me.

Oddly enough, I feel the same emotions when "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" begins.

 

[Gnome]

In the Columbia SC airport....

Waiting for the flight home, in class A's, discharge papers in hand when Don McLean's American Pie comes on a boom box. It just blew me away and I could almost feel my hair and beard growing back in.

 

[Cheyenne]

Oddly enough, I feel the same emotions when "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" begins.

Another good one that brings emotions similar to Amazing Grace for me.

 

[Samuari]

Another good one that brings emotions similar to Amazing Grace for me. [/B]

Oh Yeah! Especialy when played on the pipes by the regemental band in full kit (kilts).

I know this is not by the original artists, but I was listening to a christmas cd (yes, it was a christmas cd so sue me), and I heard Silent Night performed by Boyz II Men. It brought tears to my eyes because it was so beautiful.

 

[Rhiannon]

Someone passed a song on to me just recently and when I sit and listen to it, like I am now, I think of him and it makes me feel so happy, and reminds me of all the reasons that I love him.

It is Breathe by Faith Hill. Something that I never thought I would ever get into, but the song says so much. Everytime I listen to it I get shivers, as you mentioned *Eve*.


How very sweet this was to see. What a great song, in fact
what a great CD! Funny, you don't find many guys that are that deep into the words of Faith! Makes a girl wonder.

 

[Naked Hunny]

Ok i had never heard this song til the other day when my best friend played it for me jumping up and down going this is the song that her and her fiancee are going to dance to at her wedding.. Its called "No Place That Far" its by Sara Evans i suggest everyone go listen to it download it buy it whatever because its sooo good.. By the third time she played it i knew all the words. I have an exceptional memory for music. Of course now she wants me to sing it umm no thank you ill stick to being Maid of Honor she can get the music major of our friends to sing. I hide my voice thank you.

Hey Brother, wus' happenin'?...

mass2, I'm listening to it right now (What's Going On?)...A mix tape...

I was asked if I was stranded on a desert isle, what would be the ONE song I'd want to have? Much to their surprise, I said "I Can't Live", as performed by Harry Nielson (it was origonally by Badfinger). Mariah Carey has since redone it, the way Harry did it, it's quite different from Badfinger.

One of my favorite albums is "From Another Planet" by Larry Norman...

 

[Purple Haze]

Sorry, can't pick just one. These songs make me feel good.

"Show Me the Way" by Frampton, not Styx (gags)
"Paradise by the Dashboard Light" Meatloaf
"Revolution" The Beatles
"Kashmir" Led Zeppelin
"Pleasant Valley Sunday" The Monkees
"Don't Be Cruel" Elvis

It's hard to quit here, I have a hundred more.

Little Wing, Third Stone From the Sun, Are You Experienced?

 

[Purple Haze]

Hendrix kicks ass

We're talkin' feel good songs, I have a lot of favorites that make me feel different ways, "Purple Haze" is one of many.

Any songs make you blue? "November Rain", "Someone Saved My Life Tonight", "The Rose" (sniffle) Gotta leave....

 

[Isabella Thorne]

This is the Third time...

I've heard or about the Rose in the last two days!... I love that Song...

And Physical Graffiti is my favorite Zeppers (tied with III).

Saddest songs...right now, the ink at the end of another Broken quill...

Isabella...

Jimi was beautiful, wasn't he? I party at his grave every once in awhile. Look for the Sundial...then follow the Path...

Saddest songs: Any drunken, half-assed attempt at Romance by Ozzy...

Songs of the 80's

As a rule, I think 80's music wasn't the hottest thing in the world (I always change the channel when there is some kind of 80's marathon on the radio), but strangely my two favorite songs, Video Killed the Radio Star and Come one Eileen were both 80's one hit wonders.

Those, and of course, the Jigglypuff song...

 

[Pyper]

Argh! Why won't my darn Jigglypuff image work in my quote at the bottom? Somebody help! *flails her arms about in frustration*
