Whats that song?

[Marz]

Ok, everyone seems to have one (at least), the song that just makes your heart ache and can nearly drive you to tears...

I was sitting here listening to The Band and its all good but "The Night The Drove Ol Dixie Down" just does it every time... I get all emotional and my eyes get kinda misty (I mean someone must be choppin' onions somewhere around here, cuz I am tough as a coffin nail).

So whats the song (or songs) that just overwhelm you with emotion when you hear them?

Mine-

The Band  - The Night They Drove Ol Dixie Down
CSN - Teach Your Children
John Lennon - Imagine
Old Crow Medicine Show - I Hear Them All, Dont Ride that Horse

I am sure there are more but thats all I can think of at the moment.

Vince Gill - Almost Home (These Days CD).  It reminds me of my father.

[Sly Red]

Where Do You Start - Shirley Horn

The Valley - k.d. lang

A Case of You - Joni Mitchell

[Robmeister]

Didn't even have to think about it...

#1 of all time = "Without You" by Harry Nilsson



Here's a great rendition by Mariah Carey!!!!!



#2, without much thought, is "The Living Years" by Mike and the Mechanics

[schro]

"Front Porch Lookin' In" - Lonestar
"Have I Told You Lately" - Van Morrison
"If I Had a Daughter" - Terri Hendrix

I'm sure there are others, but those three quickly come to mind.

[Jer]

#1-  Unchained Melody - The Righteous Brothers
#2-  With Or Without You - U2
#3-  Babe - Styx

[GASlick]

Butterfly Kisses
Christmas Shoes
Go Rest High on that Mountain

Those great old Hymns from church get me too:
A Mighty Fortress is my God
Because He Lives

The ultimate:  Every year on Christmas we have a candlelight service and the closing hymn is Silent Night.  There is nothing more beuatiful than Silent Night sung acapella in a sanctuary lit only by candles

[JDog]

Hallelujah-Jeff Buckley

In Your Wake-Matt Skiba

Dont Stop Believin'-Journey

[Sly Red]

Hallelujah-Jeff Buckley

JDog, k.d. lang does an excellent cover of Hallelujah also (Hymns of the 49th Parallel)

[Marz]

I dunno guys, Hallelujah in my world goes to the great Leonard Cohen... but a great song regardless.

[JDog]

I have never heard K.D's version of Hallelujah although I'm sure she sang it as a tribute to her fellow Canadian Leonard Cohen.

I've heard the Cohen version many times, and even though he wrote the song I still like Jeff Buckleys version a lot better.

[Jim80]

for me it's "you raise me up" by Josh Grobin My mom and I danced to it at my wedding. It will always remind me of my mom

[Sly Red]

I still like Jeff Buckleys version a lot better.

That entire Jeff Buckley CD (Grace) is a masterpiece.
