Here are the lyrics to Far Away, when I hear it it reminds me of Brokeback.

This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there’s just one left
‘Cause you know,
you know, you know
 
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you’ll be with me
and you’ll never go
Stop breathing if
I don’t see you anymore
 
On my knees, I’ll ask
Last chance for one last dance
‘Cause with you, I’d withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I’d give it all
I’d give for us
Give anything but I won’t give up
‘Cause you know,
you know, you know
 
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you’ll be with me
and you’ll never go
Stop breathing if
I don’t see you anymore
 
So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know
 
I wanted
I wanted you to stay
‘Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
‘Cause I’m not leaving
Hold on to me and
never let me go
Some say the world is getting too small, I say with kindness there's room for us all. Our world is always changing, everyday's a surprise. Love can open up your eyes in our world.
When night lays sad upon you go watch a laughing sunrise. Love can open up your eyes in our world.

Another beautiful traditional song:

The Snows They Melt The Soonest


The snows, they melt the soonest when the winds begin to sing
The corn, it ripens fastest as the frosts are settling in
And when the young man tells me that my face he'll soon forget
Before we part, I'll wage a crown he'll be fain to follow yet

The snows, they melt the soonest when the winds begin to sing
The swallow flies without a thought as long as it is spring
But when springtime goes and winter blows, my love then you'll be free
With all your pride to follow me across the stormy main

The snows, they melt the soonest when the winds begin to sing
The bee that flew in summertime, in winter cannot sting
I've seen the young man's anger melt between the night and morn
It's surely not a harder thing to melt a young man's scorn

So never bid me farewell, for no farewell I'll receive
You will lie with me, my love, and kiss and take your leave
I'll wait here 'til the woodcock calls, and the marten takes its wing
For the snows, they melt the soonest when the winds begin to sing

The song by nickelback on the radio now, "Far Away" fits perfectly. I'll try and post the lyrics. ;)

Have you already seen the video on youtube? BBM clips with the music from Far Away. It's one of the classic BBM clips:

You're welcome. Glad you liked it.

There's a thread around where people posted their favorite BBM videos on youtube. I liked a lot of them. I'll look for it and insert the link here when I'm lucky to find it.


Edit:
I found two threads with youtube video recommendations:

'My favorite YouTube videos of all!' http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php/topic,4110.0.html

'Youtube.com Torture' http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php/topic,6938.0.html

When is the next radio show going to be, Eric?

Is there going to be another one? If so, when?
