What was the last song you wept to?

Rainer Bruninghaus - "Strahlenspur"
Gottsching/Ashra - "Sunrain"

Rainer Bruninghaus - "Strahlenspur"

Beautiful song.

Solomon Burke - Don’t Give Up On Me, when Wendell Pierce picked it on Desert Island Discs.

“Who Knows Where the Time Goes” - introducing my daughter to the music of Sandy Denny with way too much wine in me

sandy denny's voice alone is indeed quite tear-inducing for me too and especially that song.

The Stone Rosees - Fools Gold

holidays are over

Folk songs, all the time.

Between the end of Fools Gold and the start of Bohemian Rhapsody in the cafe, the cold hard facts of life hit me. I would be hearing these two songs every day for the rest of my life. Go to another cafe you might say. Its not that simple

What was the last song you slept to?

#xmas2017

I’ve probably heard this 6 times (mostly on Spotify) this holiday season. Laughed at it the first 3 times as millennial tripe, then secretly liked it the next couple times. This time, now that I’m away from my family, it snuck up on me and got me good.

adam driver singing in Marriage Story tbh

I've never not wept to a song

i didn't like openly weep or anything but i was in nashville last weekend and we went into a honky tonk where a trad. duo were playing and they covered "i'm so lonesome i could cry" and i got pretty blubbery.

a propos nashville, pedal steel guitar together with accordion (after that violin) are the two instruments that make my eyes wet the most often.

i cry to music so often i can't remember the last time it happened. i almost never cry to *not*-music.

on any given night there's a very good chance that the last song I've slept to is by zimoun

There is something about 'Rue the Day' by the Walkmen that catches me by surprise and kicks my legs out from me every single time I hear it:

There's a miracle in
Going way too long and way too strong
Twisting all the bad things into good
I'm a lucky guy, now
But I never know it til it's gone

Just typing out the gahdamn lyrics puts a lump in my throat.

Jobriath's 'Street Corner Love' - a light fluffy song about casual sex that drops the line "love me like we never met" out of nowhere.

Neil Diamond's "Cracklin' Rosie" - the title refers to a bottle of cheap(ish) wine, which I'd only just found out.

Never knew that either.

That makes at lease two Neil Diamond songs about drinking alcohol to try and forget about your problems.

A fine subject for a song.

did any of you catch those copyright-extension rolling stones tracks that were dumped on youtube on the 1st? they're gone now but a judicious search of iorr.org will lead you to them. anyway the demo version of "ruby tuesday" is for the ages. there's a fierce debate on that site over whether the prominent piano is played by brian jones or nicky hopkins.

Well, tough day but Judee Sill just broke me.

Emperor, "Thus Spake the Nightspirit" live last night.

FUCK YOU, YOU WEREN'T THERE!
