Lynch Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 -At My Window Sad & Lonely - Billy Bragg and Wilco-Sometimes Salvation - The Black Crowes-George Harrison - All Things Must Pass Wow, excellent choices as well. I hadn't even thought of the Crowes or the Mermaid Avenue albums. Seeing Things......Black Crowes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quarter23cd Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 For the aching delivery alone.Absolutely. In other hands, the earnestness of this song might border on trite, but this song just kills me. "But the clouds never hung so low before""And the dawn don't rescue me no more" It must be totally in the delivery, but those lines just slay me. otherwise, off the top of my head"Box of Rain" and "Brokedown Palace" by the G f'n D"Lonely 1" and pre-drone "Less Thank You Think" by teh Wilcos many more I can't think of right now Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Moses Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Burn by Ray Lamontagne although not a heartbreakin' song in the conventional sense, Please Tell My Brother by Mr. Tweedy gets to me everytime. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lynch Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 It's funny how you realize how amazingly beautiful and cathartic music is sometimes. A little turn of phrase, a mellow guitar tone, a heartfelt vocal. Sometimes it just hits you.

Mrs. Peel Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Also, lots of old Smiths and Cure songs. Oh yeah, how could I forget The Cure? Homesick"And my eyes are bursting heartsIn a blood-stained sky" A Thousand Hours"For how much longer can I howl into this wind?For how much longerCan I cry like this?A thousand wasted hours a dayJust to feel my heart for a secondA thousand hours just thrown awayJust to feel my heart for a second" Trust"there's no one left in the worldthat i can hold ontothere is really no one left at all" and the absolute killer for me: To Wish Impossible Things"it was the sweetness of your skinit was the hope of all we might have beenthat filled me with the hope to wishimpossible thingsto wish impossible thingsbut now the sun shines coldand all the sky is greythe stars are dimmed by clouds and tearsand all i wishis gone away" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
