Peter Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Wow. Just re-listened to “Baker Street” for the first time in years, by Gerry Rafferty from 1978. His father was technically deaf but still taught him Irish “rebel” songs. Now the same 70’s oldie station on Mediacom is playing “Old Time Rock And Roll” by Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band and it is rousing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 "Wising you were somehow here again" . . . One of the most beautiful songs ever. Several variations. You decide which is best . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 I think I will relisten to Baker Street now but here are some good solos in the middle of songs that are worth listening to again and/or sung by high pitched voices? “Crying in the Rain” by the Everly Brothers. “Victoria” by The Kinks. “America” by Simon and Garfunkel. “The talk on the bus” section is so great. “They’ve all come to look for America.” “Limelight” by Rush. Wow. That bass guitar! “Ordinary World” by Duran Duran may be my current favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 The lyrics are bit quirky but with the music and singing this is a very sad song. Peter She's Leaving Home by The Beatles Wednesday morning at five o'clock As the day begins Silently closing her bedroom door Leaving the note that she hoped would say more She goes down the stairs to the kitchen Clutching her handkerchief Quietly turning the backdoor key Stepping outside, she is free She,... (we gave her most of our lives) Is leaving (sacrificed most of our lives) Home (we gave her everything money could buy) Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown Picks up the letter that's lying there Standing alone at the top of the stairs She breaks down and cries to her husband Daddy, our baby's gone. Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly? How could she do this to me? She (we never thought of ourselves) Is leaving (never a thought for ourselves) Home (we struggled hard all our lives to get by) She's leaving home, after living alone, for so many years Friday morning, at nine o'clock She is far away Waiting to keep the appointment she made Greeting a man from the Motortrade She (what did we do that was wrong) Is Having (we didn't know it was wrong) Fun (fun is the one thing that money can't buy) Something inside, that was always denied, For so many years,. She's leaving home Songwriters: בירן צליל, גלעד טל, Lennon,john Winston, Mccartney,paul James. For non-commercial use only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Stuart Kelly Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Recently I've been getting into the poetic elements in the songs of Mickey Newbury. His lyrics are a cut way above the normal, even in a country song about a woman leaving him. And, yes, this is a good song for crying. I've had a woman just like he described. And a few friendships. Just like the dawn, my heart is silently breaking... It's her sorrow, it's not a man... I know she tried... It's not her heart. Lord, it's her mind... Just beautiful and poignant as all get out...

Peter Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 One More Night Phil Collins One more night, one more night I've been trying, oh so long to let you know Let you know how I feel And if I stumble, if I fall, just help me back So I can make you see Please give me one more night Give me one more night One more night 'Cause I can't wait forever Give me just one more night Ooh, just one more night Oh, one more night 'Cause I can't wait forever I've been sitting here so long, wasting time Just staring at the phone And I was wondering should I call you Then I thought, maybe you're not alone Please give me one more night Give me just one more night Oh, one more night 'Cause I can't wait forever . . . .

Peter Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I see I may be exceeded the, ‘oh not another one from him’ range but here is a very sad song. “All alone am I” by Brenda Lee. All alone am I ever since your goodbyeAll alone with just the beat of my heartPeople all around but I don't hear a soundJust the lonely beating of my heart . . . .

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Karen Carpenter is never for tears, but man, does she tear at wistfulness. How about these line for O-Land romances? "I know your image of me is what I hope to be." and "There's no one more important to me, darling can't you please see through me?" It's like looking behind the curtain at what life could and should be, but people keep getting in their own way. And that makes me wistful...

Peter Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 We all may think of The Bee Gee’s as rousing disco performers but surprisingly some of their songs are sad and poignant. “I’ve Got to Get a Message to You.” “Words.” “Too Much Heaven.” “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?” and my favorite sad song of theirs’ is “I Started a Joke.” I’m OK. I’m OK. I’m stayin’ alive and I guess I should be dancing during the nights on Broadway because I love somebody who is more than a woman, and she gives me night fever, with all her jive talkin’ . . . oh and she’s from Massachusetts.

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Here's a song for crying in a metaphysical and political sense. Based on this song alone, Oliver Anthony strikes me as kind of like a Pete Seeger of the MAGA world. Seeger was mostly upbeat ("If I Had a Hammer" and so on), whereas Anthony's song is a lament. How are they similar? Theme is a big part.. Social rules and metaphysics and underneath seeking real justice for all of us, not just the few. I have no doubt this thing is going to resonate widely. It got to me, too. The danger will be if it influences a lot of people in a French Revolution way: to hate the rich for being rich (then chop off their heads ), not just hate those rich who are corrupt and suckass. But that's easy to cure. Just read some Ayn Rand. Enjoy... I sure did... Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I'm watching the rocket-blast-off trajectory of this song with the eyes of a songwriter and producer. I see a song for the ages. The word that comes to mind to connect this brand new song with the universal ancient culture we all carry in our hearts is "lamentations." Anyway, here is something I came across that is a perfect example of people who try to vest wisdom without really observing what they talk about. Bah... Cerno. What's wrong with you? Go should all over sheep, dude. Those two X comments come from a "words" mentality, not a "deeds" mentality. Gotcha bullshit. And the only operating emotion I can detect is vanity. I love Cerno, but I said to myself, there he goes again, letting off a loud juicy fart at the dinner table. Normally, I give up on the world about 300 times a day, especially when I look at social media. So I was starting to give up on the world for the 17th time this morning, I caught this thing below. And I thought, "YES!" Finally someone else saw it. Not just gushed about the song. They saw it. I liked this so much I wrote on X, which I hardly ever do. After I wrote that, I came across the following reaction video from a 23 year old black man. This guy gets it down to the bones in his feet. Ahhh... Relief... No need to give up on the world just yet. Frankly, the success of this song and that reaction video should scare the shit out of the Predator Class right now. If you want to see the full reaction video, it's on YouTube. Both of these guys are my people. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Want To Go Home Quote Lyrics to “I Want To Go Home” by Oliver Anthony Well, if it weren’t for my old dogs and the good Lord They’d have me strung up in the psych ward ‘Cause every day livin’ in this new world is one too many days to me Son, we’re on the brink of the next world war And I don’t think nobody’s prayin’ no more And I ain’t saying I know it for sure I’m just down on my knees Beggin’, Lord, take me home I wanna go home I don’t know which road to go it’s’ been so long I just know I didn’t used to wake up feelin’ this way Cussin’ myself every damn day It’s always some kind of bill to pay People just doing what the rich men say I wanna go home Now four generations farming the ground Grandson sells it to a man out of town Two weeks later trees go down only got concrete going around I wanna go home I wanna go home I don’t know which road to go its’ been so long I just know I didn’t used to wake up feelin’ this way Cussin’ myself every damn day People have really gone and lost their way They all just do what the TV say I wanna go home Well, if it weren’t for my old dogs and the good Lord They’d have me strung up in the psych ward Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Stuart Kelly Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 This had to start happening. Normal people are sick of the racism grift. The title of this thread is "Best Songs for Crying." I always thought the well-funded racism agenda crap would have to ended by more hostility. I never dreamed it would end with a tear. But that looks like where this is headed. But some monied people will not stop with hostility (and war). So wait until the crony garbage Predator Class people start seeing torches and pitchforks show up at their door--torches and pitchforks carried by good people of all races and creeds. Let their tears fall next. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
