Songs that bring a tear...

[atila the gooner]

Marvin Gaye - What's happening brother. A truly moving, immense and relevant comment on the state of America in the 70's.

[Jah Lush]

From Marvin's finest hour, What's Going On. You could say that about the whole album Atila. Awesome.

[atila the gooner]

Without doubt Jah, the man is sadly missed, as is Sam Cooke and Otis Redding.

[Jah Lush]

Oh yes and that reminds me. This is a real weepy.

Otis Redding - I've Been Loving You Too Long

[atila the gooner]

How about Sam Cooke's "Just for you"?, or Bobby Caldwells "what you won't do for love".

[SeanMacGabhann]

You will probably describe this as sacrilige but I love this version of the same song - it's a slow-build

Tindersticks - I've Been Loving You a Little Too Long

[mockney piers]

Talking of tears to the eyes, two old enemies *sniff* getting along *sniff* so well *wipes tears from face*

Awfully dusty in here isn't it ;-)

[atila the gooner]

Easy tiger!!

[Jah Lush]

Less of the old please Mockney.

Bobby Womack

Harry Hippie

[atila the gooner]

Al Green - how can you mend a broken heart

[Jeremy]

Phil Collins - against all odds

Celine Dion - the one from Titanic

Beautiful pieces, both of them.

[Jah Lush]

You're having a laugh Jeremy? Either that or you've got the most appalling taste in music. I mean Celine Dion...oh purlease. We'll have the bad taste police onto yet you mate.

I agree with Jah Lush, you need to be locked away from the rest of society in case you infect others with your dismal taste in music!!!

[SeanMacGabhann]

We'll be having people talking about Mariah Bleedin Carey on here soon

[Jeremy]

Of course I don't really like the work of Collins or Dion.

In fact, I can't even listen to Phil Collins without hearing Patrick Bateman saying: "Phil Collins works better within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist - and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite".

[barrymarshall]

Well, Collins and Dion make me cry :'(

[albeit for reasons they probably never intended!>:D< ]

[SeanMacGabhann]

Music review sections from American Psycho - now we're talking!!

But to stay on topic - as an immigrant this works for me....

Dreams In America - Luka Bloom

[Keef]

Can't believe I forgot this one, as it's probablt the winner for me!

Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush - Don't Give Up

[atila the gooner]

Cat Stevens - How can I tell you.

[Jah Lush]

Blimey, how could I have possibly forgotten this one from the late great Ray Charles.

I Can't Stop Loving You

[downsouth]

Oh yeah and "Tears in heaven" By Eric Clapton - the story behind it makes it even more moving. His son was only four and and fell from a 53rd floor apartment.

would you know my name

if i saw you in heaven

would it be the same

if i saw you in heaven

i must be strong

and carry on

'cause i know i don't belong

here in heaven

It gets me just thinking about it.

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

I am just a poor boy (or whatever it's called!) - Simon and Garfunkle

[East Dulwich Angst]

The Manhattans - Kiss And Say Goodbye

I'm welling up here :(

[Keef]

These were the 2 songs that Mrs Keef chose for our wedding ceremony, I likd them both anyway, but they will always be special ones for me now.
