Songs that touch you

This one's for Harby and Sreesanth ...

This is sad.

The only one. Sadly.

All irony aside, this is one of my favourite songs.

You can't get much more soulful.

Romantic (in the best sense) .... yearning to get through to what matters deepest, near-suicidal, if life were not so valuable and rich in its possibilities.

And here's the lyric ....

Morphine - The Night

You're the night, Lilah
A little girl, lost in the woods
You're a folktale
The unexplainable

You're a bedtime story
The one that keeps the curtains closed
And I hope you're waiting for me
Cos I can't make it on my own
I can't make it on my own

It's too dark to see the landmarks
And I don't want your good-luck charms
I hope you're waiting for me
Across your carpet of stars ....

You're the night, Lilah
You're everything that we can't see
Lilah ... you're the possibility

You're the bedtime story
The one that keeps the curtains closed
And I hope you're waiting for me
Cos I can't make it on my own
I can't make it on my own

(... Baritone sax solo ...)

Unknown, the unlit world of old
You're the sounds I've never heard before
Off the map, where the wild things grow
Another world outside my door
Here I stand, I'm all alone
Driving down the pitch-black road
Lilah, you're my only home
And I can't make it on my own

You're a bedtime story
The one that keeps the curtains closed
I hope you're waiting for me
Cos I can't make it on my own
I can't make it on my own.

(Murmured pieces of the lyrics, baritone/piano/cello ... out)

You're supposed to say why it touches you. It's not just about posting songs you think are luvleee.

They go on the, "Songs you think are luvleee" thread.

I heard this one today and it still really moved me . . . And we have just one world, but we live in different ones . . .

But HOW? HOW does it move you?

You are breaking your own rules now, you are. 'KKKU, some people ...!'

I can't tell you.

Dou'gh.

I've always loved mayonnaise since.

Beautiful song - such feeling. Gone too soon.

An insight into the human condition.
Hehe. Is that 'touching' enough??
Lurve RW - homophobes, avert your eyes.

Last one I promise.
This is a phenomenal song about the impact the USA has on folks. A protest song of sorts. I can't tell an 'I got engaged to this song' story, but it touches me so that I feel anger, or disappointment or whatever; and I guess that's what songs do.

Tac, RW does an interesting version of Hallelujah, though no-one comes close to Jeff Buckley.
