A song that makes me think of Brokeback Mountain

Beautiful songs, beautiful voice... and you're right, SO soothing.

I seem to be on a BBM double-whammy at the mo, having been a big-time Ennis-a-holic to begin with but now I've started to see all the hurt from Jack's POV too. How can it get any sadder? I don't know it but the lyrics seemed to be from Jack to me, but I think could also be Ennis in a way. Awww...

I see them as being from Jack, too. Especially this bit: "Don't want to leave you really, I've invested too much time to give you up that easy to the doubts that complicate your mind." But, yes, parts of it could be from Ennis as well.
How many times have you seen it thus far, Nic? I remember it taking me until my third viewing, really, to fully see it from Jack's point of view. Ever since then, I've hardly been able to see it any other way. My heart aches for Ennis at the end because of his loss and the regret and guilt he must be overwhelmed with on top of his already overwhelming grief. But it aches for Jack the whole rest of the time.

"A DIFFERENT CORNER" - especially the last two words.. ;)
[by George Michael]
I'd say love was a magical thing
I'd say love would keep us from pain
Had I been there, had I been there
I would promise you all of my life
But to lose you would cut like a knife
So I don't dare, no I don't dare
'Cause I've never come close in all of these years
You are the only one to stop my tears
And I'm so scared, I'm so scared
Take me back in time maybe I can forget
Turn a different corner and we never would have met
Would you care
I don't understand it, for you it's a breeze
Little by little you've brought me to my knees
Don't you care
No I've never come close in all of these years
You are the only one to stop my tears
I'm so scared of this love
And if all that there is, is this fear of being used
I should go back to being lonely and confused
If I could, I would, I swear

Wow. Hello, Ennis.

Try this one called "Dear John" by the rock band Styx - written by one band member about another who died relatively young from the complications of lifelong alcoholism:
Dear John, I knew you
About as well as anyone
We were the wild ones
So sure those days would never end
Now they're only memories my friend
Dear John I'll see you
Some day again
I swear I saw you
On a crowded street today
I almost called your name
Thinking of all those yesterdays
Heaven help me
How I miss my friend
Dear John I'll see you
Some day again
There'll be celebration
When all will be revealed
We'll have a reunion
High on a hill
Dear John how are you
God knows it's heaven where you are
Find some peace there
May it never end
Dear John my heart knows
We'll meet again
Dear John I'll see you....
Some day again.
