Whats that song? by Marz on 12 Jun, 2008 11:41

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. -

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 -

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

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.

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