What was the last song you wept to?

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.
