Their version of Hazy Shade of Winter gave me shivers. Still does when I hear it. Some songs are fun. Some send a message. Some just give me chills of emotion (happy, sad, anger or some combination). That's one of them as well. I should burn it.

But oh yeah, the Bangles' cover of Hazy Shade of Winter gives me shivers too...

???????

Another one... (too much music today)....

In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along

I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense

And every time I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose

But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break

And this is why my eyes are closed
It's just as well for all I've seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows

So I would choose to be with you
That's if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break

And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows.

And yeah, stirs emotions is right, some good, some bad, but I love it anyway.

hehe :P

we're actually really going to see Belfast in Northern Ireland and to see where Bloody Sunday took place and to talk to those who were there. we may go to Scotland for a day and we are definitely spending a day in Frankfurt, Germany.

Murals reflecting the political struggle (from both sides); found in Belfast & Derry, especially:

http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/murals/

Apparently there are some fine archaeological sites in the North, built & abandoned long before any Borders were drawn. Not that there were no struggles in those days--but they were generally cattle raids.

Can't think of any

As long as one is careful not to hurt the original poster (i.e. if they're posting something relatively serious), it cracks me up.

"Tears in Heaven" is another excellent song choice. I remember it came out when I was first pregnant and it hit me hard with the story behind it.

if the topic being copycatted is serious I usually apologize in advance for my copycat!

Yes, the story behind "Tears in Heaven" is very moving.

The six things I most enjoy about DU are probably people: matcom, notmyprez, ProfessorGAC, Skittles, stellanoir, and yourself. Nor is this a complete list.

Five places to visit: the American southwest, Timbuktoo, Angkor Wat, Ireland, and Prague.

Four emotional songs: "Seagulls Screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her" by XTC (romance); "Surf's Up" by Brian Wilson/The Beach Boys (nostalgia for something that never was); "Living in the Heart of the Beast" by Henry Cow (to storm the barricades); "For Shame of Doing Wrong" by Richard and Linda Thompson (lost love). There's nothing wrong with "In Your Eyes" either, but I get a bigger charge out of "Red Rain."

Three relationship dysfunctions: we were taking each other for granted, I was too depressed, she was too arrogant.

Two words that describe me best: well-meaning and (but) cranky.

And the made-up word: tucquins. It was a specific hand of cards, back in high school.

:D
Yeah, Red Rain is good. I remember playing my "So" cassette in the late 80's (until it died).
