That Song

[DeeZire]

Angels Among Us was the first song I heard on the way to work. Still gets me 3 1/2 years later because I'll always consider my grandma my angel.

That's downright spooky. Could be the basis for a country song... about a country song. (Sorry for your loss.)

Little Red Corvette - A friend gave me my first BJ while driving. Can't ever hear that one without thinking back to her.

"We'll Meet Again" by Vera Miles (best known to this generation as the song that plays at the very end of "Dr. Strangelove," but it was a huge song in England during WW II and it's sung at the end of Congressional sessions). We sang this as things were breaking up at my wedding and there were still maybe 100, 150 people there. (I wanted a biiiiig wedding: we invited 650 and had about 250 show up.)

"A Gift of Song" by Mason Williams (who lives a few miles away from me, as luck would have it)

"We All Come from the Sun God" -- popularized by Starhawk

"Spring Strathspey" -- Gwydion

"Colors for Susan" -- Country Joe McDonald. It's purely instrumental and actually very slow, but I couldn't listen to it all the way through for a long time without almost bursting into tears. I don't know what it was about it, but it was incredibly powerful. It's still very evocative.

I know there are others, but I can't make my brain work right now.

I agree with you about Spring Strathspey and We All Come from the Sun God. These are very eerie songs. I would add that the Three Weird Sisters version of Spring Strathspey is way creepier. It'll make all the little hairs on the back of your neck stand up. It is one spooky track. You should also give their tune In A Gown Too Blue a go too if you like those ones. It is about a villiage dying from the plague. It will move you.

I figured it was something as such. But it is strange that it chokes me up when I really can't stand to be around children, and don't want any of my own ever.

This is just my opinion, (given that I have listened to this song A LOT as I love it) I think it is more about grief and dissapointment than anything else. I think the childbirth is really incidental to the deeper meaning. I have always felt the way these people were waiting for this usually joyous event only to have it go terribly, terribly wrong. That's what I usually tune into.

Vrosej10, have you a way to message you? I want to tell you a story or two about Gwydion from the old days. He and I and a number of mutual friends all travel/ed in the same circles.

I'll look up the Three Weird Sisters version, too--thank you!
