The Left Banke - Walk Away Renee: A perfect bittersweet pop song, even when I
was a wee lad listening to the radio this song moved me in inexplicable ways.
And don't forget them doing "Pretty Ballerina". Another gorgeous
bittersweet song...it came out when I was about 17...don't know if
it had anything to do with me dating a lot of dancers, and eventually
marrying one. :)
More faves, off the top of my head:
Euryhmics: Here Comes The Rain Again
Pete Nelson: Summer of Love
Elvis Costello: Watching The Detectives
June Tabor: Eric Bogle's The Band Played Waltzing Matilda
Jack Hardy: Things I Oughta Know
"Were the grapes of wrath union-picked
by Victor Jara's hands?"
Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer: Gentle Arms of Eden
Bob Franke: Thanksgiving Eve
Steve Goodman: Michael Smith's The Dutchman
Gosh, there are so many...
