Nice to see you back with us, my long-lost twin! Have to agree with you on
Landslide - the version on the Live album gets me every time.
I don't cry easily, and these songs don't necessarily get the waterworks
going, but they do make me stop whatever I'm doing, and just listen till
it's over (in no particular order):
Joni - Two Grey Rooms
Janis Ian - Jessie
Shona Laing - South (NZ)
Joan Armatrading - Willow
Indigo Girls - Power of Two
Buckingham Nicks - Crystal
Sharon O'Neill - Maybe (NZ)
Dave Dobbyn - Loyal (NZ)
Carole King - Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow
Bonnie Raitt - I Can't Make You Love Me
U2 - One Tree Hill (special recent significance!)
Neil Young - Old Man
Stephen Stills - 4 + 20
And the one song that WILL make me cry, probably only 10 people have ever
heard.
Three Men Missing - The Years Will Roll On By
This was written in 1986 by a friend in a band, the day after Pat's (their
bass player's) brother (Rossy) was killed driving home from a pub we were
all drinking at. Pat and Rossy were also good friends of mine and we had an
awful day the next day while they went to the hospital THREE times to
identify the body, which they "couldn't find" the first two times. A
complete cock-up on the hospital's part, and a horrific day for Pat and his
girlfriend, Trish - who I was flatting with at the time. This was only 3
months after my father's death, and I couldn't even bring myself to go to
the funeral - something I regret now. The song was written a day after
Rossy's death, and still makes me bawl my eyes out - especially Pat's
bass-playing!
