A song that makes me think of Brokeback Mountain
mvansand76:
"Safe And Sound" - Sheryl Crow
Maybe this is forever
Forever fades away
Like a rocket ascending into space
Could you not be sad
Could you not break down
After all I won't let go
[CHORUS:]
Until you're safe and sound
Until you're safe and sound
There's beauty in release
There's no one left to please
But you and me
I don't blame you for quitting
I know you really try
If only you could hang on through the night
I don't want to be lonely
I don't want to be scared
All our friends are waiting there
[CHORUS]
Feel like I could've held on
Feel like I could've let go
Feel like I could've helped you
Feel like I could've changed you
Feel like I could've held you
Feel like I could've hurt you
Feel like I was a stranger
Feel like I was an angel
Feel like I was a hero
Feel like I was a zero
Feel like I could have changed you
Feel like I could have healed you
Feel like I could have saved you
Feel like I should've heard you
Feel like I could have moved you
Feel like I could have changed you
Feel like I could have healed you
Feel like I should've told you
Feel like I could have loved you
Feel like I could have loved you
Feel like I could have loved you
Feel like I really loved you
Feel like I really loved you
Feel like I really loved you
Feel like I really loved you
Feel like I really loved you
Feel like I really loved you
Feel like I could've saved you
Feel like I could've saved you
Feel like I could've saved you.

Hey, friends and fellow "Brokeback" fanatics:
I can't believe I didn't think of this one before, as it is my favorite song from one of my favorite groups, Restless Heart. It's so uncannily evocative of BBM, which I see now that I am in thrall to that wonderful work of art. Here are the lyrics:
That lonesome Texas sun was setting low
And in the rearview mirror I watched it go
I can still see the wind in her golden hair
I close my eyes for a moment, I'm still there...
The bluest eyes in Texas
Are haunting me tonight
Like the stars that fill
The midnight sky
Her memory fills my mind
(Where did I go wrong?)
Did I wait too long
Or can I make things right?
The bluest eyes in Texas
Are haunting me tonight
Another town, another hotel room
Another dream that ended way too soon
Left me lonely, prayin' for the dawn
Searching for the strength to carry on
The bluest eyes in Texas
Are haunting me tonight
Like the stars that fill
The midnight sky
Her memory fills my mind
(Where did I go wrong?)
Did I wait too long
Or can I make things right?
The bluest eyes in Texas
Are haunting me tonight
For every heart you break
You pay the price
But I can't forget the tears
In her blue eyes
The bluest eyes in Texas
Are haunting me tonight...

Wow, that's a beautiful one! The songs keep coming, don't they? I am amazed how many songs have all these specific details in them that reminds you of BBM, not just the average love songs, but these tiny details that are EXACTLY about BBM. I love music....

"Love and Happiness" and "Lost on the River" by Emmylou Harris & Mark Knopfler
I haven't listened real close to the lyrics but the tone, Emmylou's voice, and Mark's twangy guitar just remind me of the movie.
..."I'm lost on the river, the river of life."

Here's Love and Happiness:
Here's a wishing well
Here's a penny for
Any tought it is
That makes you smile
Every diamond dream
Everything that brings
Love and happiness
To your life
Here's a rabbit's food
Take it when you go
So you'll always know
You're safe from harm
Wear your ruby shoes
When you're far away
So you'll always stay
Home in your heart
You will always have a lucky star
That shines because of what you are
Even in the deepest dark
Because your aim is true
And if i could only have one wish
Darling, then i would be this
Love and happiness for you
Here's a spinning wheel
Use it once you've learned
There's a way to turn
The straw to gold
Here's a rosary
Count on every bead
With a prayer to keep
Thehope you hold
You will always have a lucky star
That shines because of what you are
Even in the deepest dark
Because your aim is true
And if I could only have one wish
Darling, then it would be this
Love and happiness fot you
And if I could only have one wish
Darling, then it would be this
Love and happiness for you
