Just walked by my son's room
« on: April 09, 2006, 06:09:39 pm »
and this was playing on his stereo.  Reminded me so much of Jack and Ennis it brought tears :'( to my eyes...::sigh:: Anyone else around here old enough to remember this song by Art Garfunkle...

I bruise you
You bruise me
We both bruise so easily
Too easily to let it show
I love you, and thats all I know

And all my plans
keep falling through
All my plans they
Depend on you
Depend on you
To help them grow
I love you
And thats all I know

When the singer's gone
Let the song go on
There's a fine line between
The darkness and the dawn

They say in the darkest night
Theres a light beyond
And the ending always
Comes at last
Endings always
Come too fast
They come too fast
And they pass too slow
I love you
And thats all, its really all I know
Its all I know

Its all I know

Nope I ain't, but it looks like it's a good song.

Well, I am.

Vicky, I haven't heard or thought of that song in decades, and reading your post, I can hear that high, clear, sweet voice singing "and that's all I know--"

Sure is beautiful--

Very Ennis'n'Jack--

I don't think I know the song, but I love the lyrics. Fits very well with Ennis+Jack.

Yep, John I was sure shocked to here it come from a 16 year old...but he's really nostaligic for his Dad lately and that album was one of Stephens' favorites.  Dave says it makes him feel closer to his Dad to play his favorite music.

I remember that song...very nice.

Not to ruin the romantic moment but for some unknown reason, I have been listening to classic Led Zeppelin. Bizarre as this may sound, Heartbreakers could be sung by Jack:

"Been ten years and maybe more
since I first set eyes on you
The best years of my life gone by,
Here I am alone and blue.
Some people cry and some people die
By the wicked ways of love;
But I’ll just keep on rollin’ along
With the grace of the lord above.

It may be because Jack actually says the title of the song... but I also think that the melody is perfect for the film.

"Let It Be"
by The Beatles

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. yeah
There will be an answer, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be,
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

I know how that goes, Victoria.  Music is such a powerful trigger for memories.  I've lost people close to me but playing the music they love always keeps them nearby.  And Simon and Garfunkel had so many brilliant songs - Bridge Over Troubled Water will forever remind me of my best mate in high school, Trenton, who was killed in a car accident (right in front of my house, no less) a few days before he graduated.  And Sound of Silence was played at the funeral of one of my dad's good friends who tragically took his own life after battling depression for nearly a decade.  That opening line "hello darkness my old friend" still brings a lump to my throat.  *lump rising now actually*
Chut up!

That is such a beautiful song vic! but I'm kind of a throw back... I love anything Garfunkel, Paul Simon or the two together, I always listened to Simon and Garfunkel on the way home from the theatre after seeing brokeback, many of their songs remind me of ennis and jack...
‘cause the truth is, I already give him everythin’ I got to give, more than I ever even knew I had; ‘n it all for him, all of it, him who is my brother, my father, my child, my friend, my lover, my heart, my soul; my Ennis.
