Gut wrenching stuff wrapped up in a good song.
Can you listen to this without feeling a tear ?

Re: TP's thread of Beautiful Songs...
 

Not one you would expect after 'Barbie Girl' but beautiful song.

So many to choose from (great thread)
Here's Seangs starter

Re: TP's thread of Beautiful Songs...
 

Nice song Seang... Great lyrics and she has got such an excellent voice. Got that album.



Why not?

Re: TP's thread of Beautiful Songs...
 

busteryboy - thanks for the reminder what a genius Paul Weller is. :thumbup: (I would run away with him anytime; why has he never asked me to? :( )

This one sprang straight to mind.

Re: TP's thread of Beautiful Songs...
 

This makes me cry, without fail.

Re: TP's thread of Beautiful Songs...
 

Diana Krall does this well... but I prefer Joni Mitchell's version from her last album.... but that's cos I'm a purist. ;)

Re: TP's thread of Beautiful Songs...
 

He never asked me either Seasider. Bloody men, eh? :o

Re: TP's thread of Beautiful Songs...
 

This one makes me teary every time. The songwriter wrote it about her relationship with her estranged father who died before they reconciled.


Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face
You told me how proud you were, but I walked away
If only I knew what I know today
Ooh, ooh

I would hold you in my arms
I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you've done
Forgive all your mistakes
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To hear your voice again
Sometimes I wanna call you
But I know you won't be there

Ohh I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you

Some days I feel broke inside but I won't admit
Sometimes I just wanna hide 'cause it's you I miss
And it's so hard to say goodbye
When it comes to this

Would you tell me I was wrong?
Would you help understand?
Are you looking down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?

There's nothing I wouldn't do
To have just one more chance
To look into your eyes
And see you looking back

Ohh I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself, ohh

If I had just one more day
I would tell you how much that I've missed you
Since you've been away
Ooh, it's dangerous
It's so out of line
To try and turn back time

I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you

Re: TP's thread of Beautiful Songs...
 

What about me? I picked some good uns.

Re: TP's thread of Beautiful Songs...
 

Very haunting........and a lot of memories...






Trudging slowly over wet sand
Back to the bench where your clothes were stolen
This is the coastal town
That they forgot to close down
Armageddon - come armageddon!
Come, armageddon! come!

Everyday is like sunday
Everyday is silent and grey

Hide on the promenade
Etch a postcard :
How I dearly wish I was not here
In the seaside town
...that they forgot to bomb
Come, come, come - nuclear bomb

Everyday is like sunday
Everyday is silent and grey

Trudging back over pebbles and sand
And a strange dust lands on your hands
(and on your face...)
(on your face ...)
(on your face ...)
(on your face ...)

Everyday is like sunday
Win yourself a cheap tray
Share some greased tea with me
Everyday is silent and grey
