2. I'll Fly Away
I'll Fly Away by Allison Krauss-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjgYsHt71XE&mode=related&search=
And Gillian Welch sang it in Golden Gate Park, I was there for this concert, I cried like a little baby when she sang it, it is so sweet to me!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSMaOe4QoEY


The saddest song is The Tigers Have Spoken by Neko Case, this made me cry when I saw her play it at the 9:30 Club, a different kind of crying though. (I'm a sissy for crying at concerts!)

This one makes me smile. :) ..when I was a little girl I thought he was saying cold weiner and told everyone I wanted a cold weiner for Christmas....and I got one but wasn't too happy about it. My mom still has the video of me unwrapping it and throwing it on the floor.

Post a song that makes you happy. And one that makes you sad

Charlie Ryan and the Timberline Riders - The original - "Hot Rod Lincoln"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0FWoJ3kRuA


Smoke was comin' from out of the back
When I started to gain on that Cadillac.
Knew I could catch him, I thought I could pass
Don't you know by then we'd be low on gas?

We had flames comin' from out of the side
Feel the tension, Man! What a ride!
I said, "Look out, boys, I've got a license to fly!"
And that Caddy pulled over and let us by

Now all of a sudden she started to knockin'
And down in the dips she started to rockin'
I looked in my mirror; a red light was blinkin'
The cops was after my Hot Rod Lincoln!

They arrested me and they put me in jail
And called my pappy to throw my bail
And he said, "Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinkin'
If you don't stop drivin' that Hot ... Rod ... Lincoln!"







Louis Armstrong - Sunrise, Sunset
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4CWgQQGyr4

(Tevye)
Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?

(Golde)
I don't remember growing older
When did they?

(Tevye)
When did she get to be a beauty?
When did he get to be so tall?

(Golde)
Wasn't it yesterday
When they were small?

(Men)
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze

(Women)
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears

(Tevye)
What words of wisdom can I give them?
How can I help to ease their way?

20. Oh Louis!
it's a happy song but it rips my heart out as it is what my mother had instructed us to play at her memorial as the service ended.

It is a happy/sad song.

26. Happy: Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring (Handel) (odd choice for an atheist, I know) Sad: Chemical Heart
Edited on Thu Apr-12-07 10:37 PM by Random_Australian
by Grinspoon. It makes me remember a sad place.

Also, Fee Fi Fo byT he Cranberries. That and Adam's Song by Blink 182, which is co-incidentally the only song of theirs which I like. :)

I don't know how to find either of those on youtube though!

(And because you are nearly 99% certain to get a SHIT overdone version of the Jesu song)

Edit: Note: The sad one is about what things are like in certain places in Australia. You may not get it! Or at least not get why it is sad. :)

Edit II: So as way of explanation, there are desolate communites in the Australian countryside whos poverty and boredom means people have turned, en masse, to basically soft drugs taken way too far. In this case, pot. Yeah, I know about it. Alcoholism is awful, and so is pot dependency. That's what that song reminds me of. :) It's exactly like what happens.

I don't think it's supposed to be about that though, but I can't remember.

27. my happiest song is religious too
I can't quite say I'm Atheist (well until lately..) but a religious song is what gets to me the most, it like touches my soul or whatever.
Like some classical songs do too, they're even more beautiful after 4or 500 years.
