Amazing Grace. When my grandmother sang it.. Still hear it to this day. Playing the piano and singing in Moody Texas Local Baptist Church 1966 (close). Her last words to me "It's not what you know, It's who you know" Scotty She is waiting for me right now.. God bless her! She was born in 1889 to 1988 99 yeas old. Never wavered!! Regards |

Desperado & Reprise - Eagles Gimme Back My Bullets - Lynyrd Skynyrd Amazing Grace - John Newton The Road Goes on Forever - Joe Ely (and the Party Never ends) He’s Alive - Don Francisco @ oldhvymec She was born in 1889Interesting life when you grow up with OLD people. My step pappy was born that yr as well. He was a different breed and left quite a mark on me as well. |
Looks You’ve pretty well covered all the touchy- freely choices in your overlapping posts - WHAT SONG TOUCHES YOUR HEART THE MOST? - WHAT IS THE MOST TOUCHY SONG THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD? - What Is The Most Romantic Song That You Have Ever Listen To |
"Anthem" by Leonard Cohen. The chorus goes like this: "Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack in everything That’s how the light gets in." That song inspires me to always keep an open mind. The song that evokes the most romantic feelings in me is George Harrison’s "Something". |
OP: 'touches your heart'. Many people see The Carpenters as pretty much pulp, but Karen's plaintive but confident aspiration in 'We've Only Just Begun' is cast into harsh focus with her death just a few years later from anorexia. That is an extreme example because of the reference in the lyric to the terrible ending but listening to the end-scene work of musicians who died young brings out the emotion. There are so far far too many of them but for me it's Sandy Denny, John Lennon, Frank Zappa, George Harrison. And Roy Orbison whose soaring high tenor, intact to the end, on his final album and the Wilburys somehow evokes the pain of facing early death. |
@oldhvymec Amazing Grace. When my grandmother sang it.. Still hear it to this day. Playing the piano and singing in Moody Texas Local Baptist Church 1966 (close). That a great story! Amazing Grace is as good as a heart touching song gets. And to hear your grandma sing it in church. What a memory! Are you familiar with John Newton, the author of the song? That's a story as amazing as the song. He was the captain of a slave ship. On a particularly rough journey he believed it was God's wrath poured out on him. He gave his life to Christ. The song was a result of his conversion. The original title was "Faith's Review and Expectation" |
"Letter Never Sent" - REM"; Carpet Crawlers" - Peter Gabriel era Genesis; " Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis" - Ralph Vaughan Williams; "The Past and Pending" - The Shins"; Casimir Pulaski Day" - Sufjan Stevens; "Carry Me Ohio" - Sun Kil Moon"; Symphony No.3" - Henryk Gorecki; "Nessun Dorma" from Turandot.....to name a few |
I'll get to the sweeter side of emotion eventually, just happened to be listening to Ani Difranco, 'To The Teeth', https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81tmJAxvlds btw, that whole album is a great one to dust your dust caps with! |
