A song that makes me think of Brokeback Mountain
Katie77:
Hi, anyone remember the song by Linda Rhonstaad and the Stone Ponies......Different Drum
Have a listen.....
You and I, travel to the beat of a different drum
Oh cant you tell by the way I run,
Everytime you make eyes at me.
You cry and always say it could work out
But honey child, Ive got my doubts,
you cant see the forest for the trees.
Oh dont get me wrong, its not that I'm knockin it,
Its just that i am not in the market for a boy who wants to love, only me
Yes and I aint sayin you aint pretty, I am saying, I' m not ready
For any person. place or thing, to try and pull the reins in on me
So goodbye, i beleive and i see no sense
In this crying and grieving,
We'll both live a lot longer
If you live without me

Shadows-Gordon Lightfoot
This song has been with me ever since the day I was born, my parents are Gordon Lightfoot fans. It also applies beautifully to Jack and Ennis!
Shadows - Gordon Lightfoot
Won't you reach out love and touch me,
let me hold you for awhile?
I been all around the world,
oh how I long to see you smile.
There's a shadow on the moon
and the waters here below
do not shine the way they should,
and I love you just in case you didn't know.
Let it go.
Let it happen like it happened once before.
It's a wicked wind and it chills me to the bone,
and if you do not believe me
come and gaze upon the shadow at your door.
Won't you lie down by me baby,
run your fingers through my hands?
I been all around the town
and still I do not understand.
Is it me or is it you?
Or the shadow of a dream?
Is it wrong to be in love?
Could it be the finest love I've ever seen?
Set it free.
Let it happen like it happened once before.
It's a wicked wind and it chills me to the bone,
and if you do not believe me
come and gaze upon the shadow at your door.
Please kiss me gently darlin'
where that river runs away
from the mountains in the springtime
on a blue and windy day.
Where there's beauty all around
as the shades of night grow deep.
When the morning stars grow dim
they will find us in the shadows fast asleep.
Let it go.
Let it happen like it happened once before.
It's a wicked wind and it chills me to the bone,
and if you do not believe me
come and gaze upon the shadow at your door.

And another one, 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

I have soooooo many, but I will only add ONE more. Lyrics by Jane Siberry, I love the KD Lang version.
Maybe it was to learn how to love
Maybe it was to learn how to leave
Maybe it was for the games we played
Maybe it was to learn how to choose
Maybe it was to learn how to lose
Maybe it was for the love we made
Love is everything they said it would be
Love made sweet and sad the same
But love forgot to make me too blind to see
You're chickening out aren't you?
You're bangin' on the beach like an old tin drum
I cant wait 'til you make
The whole kingdom come
So I'm leaving
Maybe it was to learn how to fight
Maybe it was for the lesson in pride
Maybe it was the cowboys' ways
Maybe it was to learn not to lie
Maybe it was to learn how to cry
Maybe it was for the love we made
Love is everything they said it would be
Love did not hold back the reins
But love forgot to make me too blind to see
You're chickening out aren't you?
You're bangin' on the beach like an old tin drum
I cant wait 'til you make
The whole kingdom come
So I'm leaving
First he turns to you
Then he turns to her
So you try to hurt him back
But it breaks your body down
So you try to love bigger
Better still
But it's too late
So take a lesson from the strangeness you feel
And know you'll never be the same
And find it in your heart to kneel down and say
I gave my love didn't I?
And I gave it big...sometimes
And I gave it in my own sweet time
I'm just leaving
Love is everything...
Isn't that beautiful? Sigh... :'(

:'( It sure is Mel. I'll have to hunt down the KD Lang version - she's one of my favourite singers. Do you know which album of hers it's on?
