What song makes you sentimental and why?

Me, I just found a song I hadn't heard in almost 20 years. And the night that I heard that song I made a very important decision in my life soon afterwards.

So I went rooting around on the net tonight and I found it - Hybrid Ice's Madeline. Damn, it's making me sentimental all over again :cry:

What song makes you feel sentimental

who do you think you are? Angel?

:D

Last time I left London I repeated the words to myself and started crying. The guy on the plane next to me thought I was a psycho. But, I have a very emotional tie to my childhood home. And leaving it always hurts. And that song sums up all my feelings. It's about a spitfire pilot shot down and in his last moments remembers all he loves about England.


The lyrics:

Oh! england, my lionheart,
I’m in your garden, fading fast in your arms.
The soldiers soften, the war is over.
The air raid shelters are blooming clover.
Flapping umbrellas fill the lanes--
My london bridge in rain again.
Oh! england, my lionheart!
Peter pan steals the kids in kensington park.
You read me shakespeare on the rolling thames--
That old river poet that never, ever ends.
Our thumping hearts hold the ravens in,
And keep the tower from tumbling.
Oh! england, my lionheart,
Oh! england, my lionheart,
Oh! england, my lionheart,
I don’t want to go.
Oh! england, my lionheart!
Dropped from my black spitfire to my funeral barge.
Give me one kiss in apple-blossom.
Give me one wish, and I’d be wassailing
In the orchard, my english rose,
Or with my shepherd, who’ll bring me home.
Oh! england, my lionheart,
Oh! england, my lionheart,
Oh! england, my lionheart,
I don’t want to go.
Oh! england, my lionheart,
Oh! england, my lionheart,
Oh! england, my lionheart,
I don’t want to go.

I'm a big Kate fan, too. Is that where you got your screen name?

She's disavowed it in later years, though. Silly girl!

Yeah, that's where my screen name comes from - although I misspelled it.

After 12 years she finally released a new album. I haven't been able to find it, but I downloaded "King Of The Mountain". I love it. Have you heard the new album? What do you think? It's getting great reviews.


Khash.

I need to spend more time with it but I am really liking it. It is typical quirky Kate but with updated sound textures. I like it far better than her last, The Red Shoes, which I found very brittle sounding although I did like some songs on it...like the one in my sig line.

I was just flipping through channels, and the PBS station in San Francisco was showing one of those retro music programs so popular during pledge breaks.

Brooklyn Bridge was singing "The Worst That Could Happen," which takes me right back to the day I was 18 and found out my former girlfriend, my first real love, had married another guy. I was driving home after hearing this and the cruel fates chose that time to put that song on the radio.

Kinda hard to drive and cry your eyes out at the same time.

just to torture people like you.
seriously, i've noticed this and it's fucked up.

She probably realizes that today

:hug:

:loveya:

Bob Segar.

I never liked him much, but the song reminds me of driving around Wisconsin in the back seat of my parents car when I was a kid. Makes me awful lonesome.

:hug:

But I found myself in trouble darlin'
and I had no place else to go.

Got some whiskey, yeaaaa, from the bar
got some cocaine, from a friend

And I had to keep on drinkin' babe
Till i was back in your arms again....

Some say love, it is a river
that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger,
an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
and you its only seed.

It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance.
It's the one who won't be taken,
who cannot seem to give,
and the soul afraid of dyin'
that never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been to long,
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong,
just remember in the winter
far beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed that with the sun's love
in the spring becomes the rose.

Mr. Frozen Turkey Helpline Guy.

:cry:

Is that a real song? :crazy:

Talking about the birth of his son, and about how someday they'll sit down and have a few drinks together and talk about the day he was born.

because it reminds me of when I first met my love

:loveya:

Then again, that kinda goes for anything by Peter Gabriel, but especially for anything off the Trespass album.

I wish that he was here tonight
It's so hard to obey
His sad request of me to kindly stay away
So this is how I hide the hurt
As the road leads cursed and charmed
I tell Amelia, it was just a false alarm


:cry:

from Chris Stamey's album Fireworks.

the death of my father in law....It's a long story that ended badly, I'll tell it to you over a Pepsi sometime. :hi:

Knowing the song I think I can imagine what you are talking about. :cry:

George Jones's songs all feel terribly real to me, but especially that one and The Grand Tour.

Chills just thinking about it.

a way sappy song, but the words just speak to a couple of things that occurred with loves in my life.

Man, music just evokes so much emotion!

How Much I Feel:
I don't know how this whole business started
Of you thinking that I have been untrue
But if you think that we'd be better parted
It's gonna hurt me but I'd break away from you
Well just give me the sign and I will be gone

That's how much I feel for you baby
How much well I need your touch
How much I live I live for your loving
That's how much that's how much that's how much

Sleep alone and late at night I am dreaming
Of the togetherness that seems to leaving me oh no
It ain't long then I kiss some more
If you'll only love me like you have before
Ahh take hold of my hand I will be forgiven

That's how much I feel feel for you baby
How much I need your touch
How much I live for your loving
That's how much that's how much that's how much

So you try to stay in the middle
And then cry - cry just a little
Then we both realize how foolish you been
I've been trying to make amends
But your pulling all the strings
'Cause that's how much - that's how much
That's how much

How's your life been going on
I got a wife now years we been going strong
Oh no there's just something I got to say
Sometimes when we make love I still see your face
Just try to recall when we were as one yeah

That's how much I feel for you baby
How much I need I need your touch
How much I live I live for your loving

I was listening to it on my way home for Thanksgiving break and I thought of a guy friend of mine. We secretly loved each other and never dated in high school(we were too shy to say anything), and I lost contact with him when he graduated. Now I'm really kicking myself for not telling him I loved him, especially since I knew he loved me back, but I was too afraid to say anything.

The Tunnel

There's a light at the end of the tunnel
wait for me
I'll be coming home soon.

When you cry your eyes I'll remember
stare at me
I can hypnotize you...keep callin

Keep Calling Keep Calling
Keep Calling Keep Calling

And the distance has been murder
on my mind
can't see you with my own eyes

If you decide to get with another
remember who
I'm the one that loves you...always

Keep Calling Keep Calling
Keep Calling Keep Calling

If I could just go back
one more time
I'd hold on and never let go
just go back
one more time
I'd never let
never let you go

And there's a light at the end of the tunnel
wait for me
I'll be coming home soon.

You have to die to get discovered
peek-a-boo
I see you through the exit wound...keep calling

Keep Calling Keep Calling
Keep Calling Keep Calling

Well I found your hiding places
in the bedroom, in the basement
like a scared child under the blankets
no one knows you like I know you
they'll try to control you like I told you
they'll try to control you
No no no no!

Why? Because I'm sentimental... :-(

..because it was the first song I heard by....you know...the Ramones.

......"now I'm a guide for the CIA...Hooray for the USA"....
