Last Train From Poor Valley. Norman Blake. And the many cover versions from others! https://www.last.fm/music/Norman+Blake/_/Last+Train+From+Poor+Valley |
Some great suggestions I might have made, if I’d thought of it first. Peter Gabriel Don’t Give Up, try Willie Nelson’s version too Joni Mitchell almost anything, but “ If I had a River “ will do, or anything on “Blue” Bonnie Raitt “I can’t Make you love me”. Just reminds me of my fruitless love affairs in my youth. So what about me Maria Callas “Casta Diva”. Check it on You Tube, the definition of an artist pouring their soul into a song For Popular music: Sara K. Waterfalls Jonatha Brooke. Back in the Circus Just because I love both artists. Ask me tomorrow and it would be different |
Nearly all Chopin. Check out Rafal Blechacz. Richard Strauss: Four Last Songs. Jesse Norman is tremendous and has good liner notes, but worth exploring, Google for "Richard Strauss: Four Last Songs, A discographical survey by Ralph Moore" Mascagni https://youtu.be/7OvsVSWB4TI https://youtu.be/vEhSUYEXwAk |

[Of the morning.] <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Note- in this context, "Nana" means "Lullaby" |
Absolutely no consistent theme here. Instead, just a stream of consciousness list of tracks that bring the "feels".

My answer will depend upon the mood I'm in when asked. . . . . . and, furthermore, there are many ways of being "moved". I have to assume that the guy in the car next to me in bumper-to-bumper freeay traffic who's got all the windows rolled down and a high-wattage system detonating a single bass note over and over and over is feeling "moved" just as I'm feeling "moved" to wish that a dump-track bust through a guard-rail on the over-pass above us and squash him. Some people may be most "moved" by music that affects them, physically (like the guy in my example, above) while others may be most moved in a more intellectual manner admiring the complex harmonic structures of Classical music or Bebop while still others may relate most of all to the intensity of emotion of a Mariachi, Flamenco or Blues tune. . . |
The First Time, a love song written by Ewan McCall in the 50s for Peggy Seeger(Pete's half sister) the woman he lived with for over half a century. The Crucifixion by Phil Ochs, an allegory of the life and death of John Kennedy. The version by Jim(Ochs college room mate) and Jean is especially moving. |
