Perfect songs........

[Grim O'Grady]

Oasis - 'Don't Look Back In Anger'.

It's another hair on the back of the neck raiser (for me), a few years ago my best mate died & I was on my way over to see his Mam I put the radio on just to numb my senses even more, then Oasis - Don't Look Back In Anger came on & I just sobbed like a baby all the way through the song (it doesn't have the same effect these days but I still think it's a brilliant song).

love

<!--emo&:(--><!--endemo--> Oh, so sorry to hear about your best friend's death. My eyes are stinging just reading this. I've had family members and distant relatives, some young, pass on. But never a close friend.

oh gracious.... <!--emo&:(--><!--endemo--> ....


i hope that you always have that attachment to that song. special people deserve special memories, imho.

[Grim O'Grady]

Tony is his name, he was a briliant guy, always there for me, he was only 39 when he died. I will always think of him, every so often something happens & it brings memories flooding back (not so often the tears, though I must admit I'm starting to fill up now).
I wish I could believe in angels.

love

Grim

I am so very sorry about this, Grim, he must have been a truely special presence in your life. Real friends are hard to find - and to lose them to death must be so painful! And he was really young, only 39. My uncle was 39 when he suddenly passed away, I know how helpless and lost such happening could make you feel.

[this_charming_girl]

yes songs really do have that ability to capture something that really brings everything back to you whenever you hear it. im very sorry about your friend, i have a similar attatchment to REM- everybody hurts. i dont think theres a time ive listned to that without crying, its a truly perfect song.

wow, it's cool that this strange/evoking topic came up.

my last relationship was a bright ray of sunshine when it was going well. then it became the shackles of hell. "the beatles" were a constant, both of us adoring the band. then the relationship ended.

this was pretty much four years ago, and it's just within the past six months or so that i can enjoy the band again. perhaps that sounds extreme or exaggerating, or whatever, but it's true. even 'here comes the sun' made my nerves bloody.


and grim:
tony was 39? uuuhhh.... <!--emo&:ph34r:--><!--endemo--> ...that's how old i am. <!--emo&:unsure:--><!--endemo-->

[Pashernate_Lover]

My dad was almost 39 when he passed on... kinda' gives you a new appreciation for life when you think about it. Its more fleeting than we realize...

But uh. on a lighter note, The Decembrists- I Dreamt I Was An Architect is a breathtakingly beautiful song... the only thing that kept last years roomie and I from murdering eachother in our sleep

[Miserable Liar]

Ben Folds - Jesusland

It's just perfect, (recently released as a single also). I heard it Live when I saw Folds back in June, brilliant also, he said it was about "comercialised religion". Some of the lines in the song are just great: "Beautiful McMansions on a hill, that overlook a highway, with riverboat casinos and you still have yet to see a soul". It seems like a tramp ("A quarter for every block") just walking around the town noticing all of these things.
It's mandatory that I put it on the gmail acount. Anyone who isn't into Ben folds or Ben Folds Five, you need to be, honestly! (Mozzerlla will agree i'm sure <!--emo&:B--><!--endemo-->)

[Cracked Pleasures]

ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN - Ocean Rain

A great musical track, deeply romantic but at the same time deeply sad, as in having to let go a dream and face the facts. The lyrics are very poetic yet very clear. The outro of the song is one of the greatest vocal effords in musical history. It all comes together in this song...

ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN - Nocturnal Me

Orchestral bombast with a very mysterious, dark glance, but with rather upward lyrics. I was blown away from the first line on: "an ice-capped fire, old burning wood"... Stunning!

INDOCHINE - Comateen I

Nicola Sirkis' warm vocals, the mixture of different musical styles (synthesisers intro with an oriental touch - electric chorus - a cappella outro) and the unique melting of deeply depressed themes (death, comatose) with words of hope... A truely unique track in all possible ways. Those who don't understand French: look up the translations, as it's truely a superb lyrics.

Cannonball by The Breeders

I've always thought of this as a perfect song, totally satisfying from beginning to end.

[Rodchenko]

Three of the most perfect songs ever:
There Is A Light...
Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division
Whatever - Oasis

[Bref]

Teenage Kicks - The Undertones
Ever Fallen in Love - Buzzcocks
This Charming Man - The Smiths
Bar Italia - Pulp

-All quite perfect in my opinion
