Still more songs that remind us of Ennis and Jack
Brown Eyes:
Heya,
I've posted this before in a thread here somewhere about songs that remind us of Ennis. But, I think it works for both Ennis and Jack just as well. I heard this song again today on the radio... and it never fails to make me think of BBM.
Fleetwood Mac- "Landslide"
I took my love, I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
till the landslide brought me down
Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life
Well, Ive been afraid of changing
cause Ive built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
Im getting older too
Oh, take my love, take it down
Climb a mountain and turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well maybe the landslide will bring it down

Isn't it the best? :-* I remember posting this a long time ago, too, but I can't remember where. I especially love the Dixie Chicks version...

I have always loved this song,best saxophone solo in the world ever.But the words are just so apt for the 1st tent scene,the reunion scene, and also how Ennis says so much,yet never says a word.
It is called WILL YOU by HAZEL OCONNOR.
Its getting kind of late,
I wonder if you'll stay now
or will you just politely say goodnight.
I move a little closer to you,
not knowing quite what to do,
and I'm feeling all fingers and thumbs.
And then we touch,much to much
this moment has been waiting for a long long time.
It makes me shiver, makes me quiver,
this moment I am so unsure,
this moment I have waited for.
is it something you've been waiting for.
waiting for too?
Take of your eyes,bare your soul,
gather me to you and make me whole,
tell me your secrets,sing me the song,
sing it to me in the silent tongue.
So many of the words seem so apt.
This moment has been waiting for a long time.
Then we touch much to much.
This moment I am so unsure.
Is it something you've been waiting for too.
Gather me to you make me whole.
Sing it to me in the silent tongue.
The melody in itself is stunning,I.M.O, the sax solo is breathtaking ,and it seems to me to sum up so much of the sexual and emotional relationship between Jack and Ennis.Both the tent scene and the reunion scene.
Well I hope you love the song as much as I do.Not only do I love the sentiment, and think it a musical description of Jack and Ennis,I just love the fact that the melody is so haunting.It always moves me to the core.There is an underlying feeling of sadness to the whole thing.

Girl, You know I love Miss Eva!
Here is another song I can see Ennis in. The song reminds me of Jack but it captures how Ennis must have felt.
This one makes me cry.
Autum Leaves
Eva Cassidy
The falling leaves
Drift by my window.
The falling leaves of red and gold.
I see your lips,
the summer kisses,
the sunburned hands i used to hold.
Since you went away
the days grow long
And soon i'll hear old winter song
But i miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
Since you went away
the days grow long
And soon i'll hear old winter song
But i miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
This song was written by my fellow Geargia boy Johnny Mercer
I absolutely luv this one

Appologies if I've posted this already, but this is a song that reminds me of Ennis and Jack remembering their time on the mountain.
Brothers in Arms
These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day youll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And youll no longer burn
To be brothers in arms
Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
Ive watched all your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms
Theres so many different worlds
So many differents suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones
Now the suns gone to hell
And the moons riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But its written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
Were fools to make war
On our brothers in arms
-Mark Knopfler
