A song that makes me think of Brokeback Mountain

No I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way
The story goes
You always smile but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes it shows
No I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
When I had you there
But then I let you go
And now it's only fair
That I should let you know
What you should know
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't give
I can't give anymore

That's beautiful ednbarby! I love that song.
Some more... sorry can't help it...
Neil Diamond - A fool for you
It's all because of you
You've gone beyond all my pride
To where my dream world begins
To where the little man hides
I need you so bad
And you're so far inside me now
That I can't turn you away
Well, you're so far inside me now
That I hardly know
What to say or what to do
I'm a fool for you
And what about another Fleetwood Mac song?
Big Love
Looking out for love
In the night so still
Oh I'll build you a kingdom
In that house on the hill Looking
out for love
Big, big love
You said that you
love me
And that you always will
Linda Ronstadt - You'll never be the sun
You'll never be the sun
Turning in the sky
And you won't be the moon above us
On a moonlit night
And you won't be the stars in heaven
Although they burn so bright
But even on the deepest ocean
You will be the light
You may not always shine as you go
Barefoot over stone
You might be so long together
Or you might walk alone
And you won't find that love comes easy
But that love is always right
So even when the dark clouds gather
You will be the light
And if you lose the part inside
When love turns 'round on you
Leaving the past behind
Is knowing you'll do like you always do
Holding you blind
Keeping you true

Another song, penned and performed by Stevie Nicks, which seems less apposite in connection to Brokeback but which nevertheless conveys some of the same wistful beauty in "Landslide", is "After the Glitter Fades". I don't have the lyrics on me right now, but one line is permanently embedded in my memory: "The loneliness of a one-night stand is hard to take"...that could sum up so much of Jack's experience right there.

saucycobblers:
I just heard this on the radio - it's the new single from British band Snow Patrol. Made me think of the boys... :'(
"Chasing Cars"
We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I found the lyrics to "After the Glitter Fades" online, and, while knowing the song's poignancy, found that the lyrics are much more apposite to Ennis and Jack's story than I had imagined. This is for them, and for all whose hearts they have touched so profoundly (words by Stevie Nicks, 1981):
Well, I never thought I'd make it
Here in Hollywood...
I never thought I'd ever want to stay...
What I seem to touch these days
Has turned to gold...
What I seem to want
Well, you know I'll find a way
For me, it's the only life
That I've ever known
And love is only one fine star away
Even though the living
Is sometimes laced with lies...
It's all right...
The feeling remains
Even after the glitter fades
The loneliness of a one-night stand
Is hard to take
We all chase something
And maybe this is a dream
The timeless face of a rock and roll woman--
While her heart breaks
Oh you know, the dream keeps coming
Even when you forget to feel
For me, it's the only life
That I've ever known
And love is only one fine star away
Even though the living
Is sometimes laced with lies...
It's all right...
The feeling remains
Even after the glitter fades
Oh you know...
The feeling remains
Even after the glitter fades...
