Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton - part of the reason this song gets to me is losing a child has to be the most painful experience ever.

My Heard Will Go On - Celine Dion - it was way overplayed, but still a very moving song

Barber - Adagio

(Theme from platoon)

Rest for the Weary Ones by Marc Cohn: the heart-wretching tale of a son haunted by his father's death.

My father was a working man
But his work was never done
He stood behind a counter
And he smiled at everyone
He bought himself a business
Worked seven days a week
Took a holiday for Christmas
Then he fell asleep beside the tree
But one day

One day
There's love for the lonely
One day
They walk in the sun
One day
Rest for the weary
Rest for the weary ones

Now my mother stood beside him
She did what she could do
But if you look at some old photograph
She looks tired too
I hope there was some laughter
'Cause I know there were some tears
Now all I can say is I pray to God
That after all those years
After all those years
That one day

One day
There's love for the lonely
One day
They walk in the sun
One day
Rest for the weary
Rest for the weary ones

Now I'm just another traveller
On another winding road
I'm trying to walk some kind of line
I'm trying to pull some kind of load
Now sometimes I move real easy
Sometimes I can't catch my breath
Sometimes I see my father's footsteps
And man it scares me half to death
But one day

One day
There's love for the lonely
One day
We walk in the sun
One day
Rest for the weary
Rest for the weary ones

"Streets of Philadelphia" by Bruce Spingsteen. Dark and depressing. Nothing but death and betrayal.

Quote:



Is that the same guy who did "Walking in Memphis" so many years ago?

"Yes, We Have No Bananas" would be quite sad if one really had one's heart set on bananas.

Quote:



Yes. He is not terribly prolific -- only three albums so far.
