Still more songs that remind us of Ennis and Jack
JTwist:
Guys, not sure if this one has been posted before, but I recently downloaded a few tracks from Boyce Aveune and one of them was a song called Say, which I had never heard before and is a cover of John Mayer track. The whole song, both the verse and corus reminded me of Jack & Ennis, namely, what Ennis had felt at the end, wishing he had taken a chance and said what he really wanted.......Jack.
Take all of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all of your so-called problems
Better put them in quotations
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Walking like a one man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Knowing you'd be better off instead
If you could only
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Have no fear for giving in
Have no fear for giving over
You better know that in the end
It's better to say too much
Than never to say what you need to say again
Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to
Say what you need to
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say........

I heard this song again last night and I immediately thought of Ennis.
Out on the plains with the cattle thinking about Jack.
As I often do when I think about our boys I cried a bit.
I made some changes to James aylors Beautiful song for the purposes of our forum.
Rockabye Sweet Baby James (Jack)
There is a young cowboy he lives on the range
His horse and his cattle are his only companions
He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons
Waiting for summer, his pastures to change
And as the moon rises he sits by his fire
Thinking about Jack and glasses of beer
And closing his eyes as the doggies retire
He sings out a song which is soft but its clear
As if maybe someone could hear
(chorus)
Goodnight you moonlight ladies
Rockabye sweet baby jack
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose
Wont you let me go down in my dreams
And rockabye sweet baby jack
Theres a song that they sing when they take to the highway
A song that they sing when they take to the sea
A song that they sing of their home in the sky
Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep
But singing works just fine for me

I know a song that makes me think of Ennis and Jack, and a few other ill-fated couples. This song is called "Signal Fire" by Snow Patrol. It's from the "Spider-Man 3" soundtrack and it's a very beautiful yet sad song.
When the final part said "No, I don't wanna wait forever" really got to me. That seem like such a sad definition for Ennis and Jack's ultimate wish on being happy together when it never happens. :(
"Signal Fire"-Snow Patrol
The perfect words never crossed my mind
'Cause there was nothing there but you
I felt every ounce of me, screaming out
But the sound was trapped deep in me
All I wanted, just sped right past me
But I was rooted fast to the earth
I could be stuck here for a thousand years
Without your arms to drag me out
There you are, standing right in front of me
There you are, standing right in front of me
All this fear falls away, you leave me naked
Hold me close, cause I need you to guide me to safety
No, I don't wanna wait forever
No, I don't wanna wait forever
In the confusion, and the aftermath
You are my signal fire
The only resolution, and the only joy
Is the faint spark of forgiveness in your eyes
There you are, standing right in front of me
There you are, standing right in front of me
All this fear falls away, you leave me naked
Hold me close, cause I need you to guide me to safety
There you are, standing right in front of me
There you are, standing right in front of me
All this fear falls away, you leave me naked
Hold me close, cause I need you to guide me to safety
No, I don't wanna wait forever
No, I don't wanna wait forever
No, I don't wanna wait forever
