MuzikTyme Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 The one thing a song should administer is conviction. I think a song should envoke ones emotion. My all-time favourite song that does this is by, not what I consider a country writer but more a gifted writer of pain. It goes like this ... Hear that lonesome whippoorwill That sounds too blue to fly That midnight train is whining low I'm so lonesome I could cry. I've never seen a night so long When time goes crawling by . . . The moon just went behind a cloud To hide its face and cry Did you ever see a robin weep When leaves began to die? That means he's lost the will to live I'm so lonesome I could cry The silence of a falling star Lights up a purple sky And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry.

Otokichi Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 And when I see the sign that points one wayThe lot we used to pass by every dayJust walk away, ReneeYou won't see me follow you back homeThe empty sidewalks on my block are not the sameYou're not to blameFrom deep inside the tears that I'm forced to cryFrom deep inside the pain that I chose to hideJust walk away, ReneeYou won't see me follow you back homeNow, as the rain beats down upon my weary eyesFor me, it criesJust walk away, ReneeYou won't see me follow you back homeNow, as the rain beats down upon my weary eyesFor me, it criesYour name and mine inside a heart upon a wallStill finds a way to haunt me though they're so smallJust walk away, ReneeYou won't see me follow you back homeThe empty sidewalks on my block are not the sameYou're not to blameRead more: Left Banke - Walk Away Renee Lyrics | MetroLyrics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otokichi Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) Smokey Robinson - I Can't FindDo you mean this lachrymose track? The Americas are populated by immigrants, and songs about The Old Country create a "laughter through tears" feeling among the first generation:Great Big Sea - Dream To Live Edited October 14, 2015 by Otokichi Video links pack more emotion than words on a page...

Otokichi Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) Aretha Franklin - "Prove It"Getting text or YouTube links to display properly can be a chore. There have been times when I had to bounce back and forth between the "bulleted list/left margin/center margin/right margin" options before I could just "paste" something. (And once in a great while, a box limited paste/post options will pop up, without the usual options toolbar. Aside from going back and forth over limited options, only to be told that none of them will work, it's best to "quit and retry" an hour/day later.) I used to just go with the "quote" option, but that's no fun; you too can be a "cursor" and get some action. "Cursor" - One who curses while using the computer, especially when keystrokes/actions result in garbage or "syntax error"-like messages.;) Edited February 2, 2016 by Otokichi There's an alternate definition of "cursor.";) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
