Say, what would have been your song 35 years ago? jf

jf [/b]How odd and cool at the same time! Thirty-five years ago I think was when Bridge Over Troubled Water was released. Man, am I ever dating myself with that information!

As far as songs that make you cry... there's an old John Stewart song called "Mother Country." It's very folk-inspired, sort of a combo of talking/singing. When he gets to the end, about E. A Stuart, I always lose it.
I am a huge fan of the old John Stewart songs... he writes such evocative, haunting, nostalgic lyrics.
As far as my song, I'll have to think about it. There have been sooo many. Maybe Blind Faith, "Can't Find My Way Home..." Hmmm. That would be high on the list, for sure.

I have so many old favorites. Not one song. I especially like ballads.
But for some reason I'll never forget the words to John Denver's Rhymes & Reasons.

I have a few, for different reasons. One of mine with special meaning is "Daniel" by Elton John.

Before the Deluge -- Jackson Browne -- wonderful piano!
Your Song -- Elton John
Thunder Road -- Bruce Springsteen -- great for driving way too fast on an open highway, or for driving the piano!

"The One" by Elton John. At the time, I was obscessed with someone who unfortunately(or actually fortunately as it would have turned out)didn't reciprocate my out of control sentiments!
But it's one of the few songs I made a point of getting the lyrics down pat so I could sing it while playing it on the piano.
