A song that makes me think of Brokeback Mountain
mvansand76:
This is a song by the Jayhawks, Blue, a beautiful song:
Blue-Jayhawks
Where have all my friends gone
They've all disappeared
Turned around maybe one day
You were all that was there
Stood by unbelieving
Stood by on my own
Always thought I was someone
Turned out I was wrong
But you brought me through
And you made me feel so
Blue, why don't you stay behind, so
Blue, why don't you stop and look at what's goin' down
Live by an old woman
She'd never sell me a lie
It's hard to sing with someone
Who won't sing with you
Give all of my mercy
Give all of my heart
Never thought I'd miss you
That I'd miss you so much
But you brought me through
And you made me feel
Blue, why don't you stay behind
Blue, why don't you stop and look at what's goin' down
Stand by, stand by, waiting round
(All my life I'm waiting for, someone I could hold the door)
Now that I'm blue, that I'm blue
(But nothing seems to change, you'll come back I know)
From now on, so
Blue, why don't you stay behind
Blue, why don't you, stay behind
So blue, yeah, yeah, yeah
So blue, why don't you stop and look at what's goin' down
And a great song by a Dutch band, Kane:
Before you let me go
Stay tonight
Let me hold you like I never did before
Take my arms
And let me hold you like I never did before
And I should have tried just to talk about this
Waiting, ending
I should have tried just to let you know that I'm
Still here
So before you let me go...
Take my hands
Let me touch you like I never did before
Take my heart and let me love you
Like I never did before
Like I never did before
And I should have tried just to talk about it
Waiting, ending
I should have tried just to let you know
That I'm still here
But we waste it every time
Now my heart is on the line
And we see ourselves no more
When we're closing every door
It's so much harder than before
So before you let me go
Before you let me go.....
Save the dance and let me spin you
Till your world is turning round and round
Round and round, round and round
Save the chance and let me show you
Just like you need a little more
Just like you need a little more
And I should have tried just to talk about it
Waiting, ending
I should have tried just to let you know
That I'm still here
But we waste it every time
Now my heart is on the line
Until we see oursleves no more
When we're closing every door
It's so much harder than before
So much harder than before
So before you let me go...
Before you let me go...
But we waste it every time
Now my heart is on the line
Until we see ourselves no more
When we're closing every door
It's so much harder than before
So much harder than before
But we waste it every time
Now my heart is on the line
And now we bruise with every step
When we're closing every door
Can we make it easier
Some time?
Some time...

Don't Dream It's Over (Neil Finn)
by Crowded House
There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're traveling with me
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page
Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
Don't ever let them win

This is one of the loveliest melodies I've heard. I did a little figuring and realized Jack was dead by the time this song came out. :'(

What a surprise to see the song from Crowded House......and i agree, it is a beautiful song and tune......didnt know anyone from america would have known of Crowded House, they are New Zealand boys but were/are big in Australia......

They were "2 hit wonders" here in the states and this song got to # 2 on our charts. I don't know the other song off hand but if I find it I'll post it. It must be spring down there, no? It's starting to cool off here in the midwestern US as we prepare for fall.

Can't believe I never thought of this one before (or maybe I have, so many pages ago I've lost track...)
Anyway...
Broken Wings ~ Mr. Mister
Baby
Don't understand why we can't just hold on
to each other's hands.
This time might be the last, I fear
unless I make it all too clear
I need you so.
Take these broken wings
And learn to fly again,
learn to live so free.
And when we hear the voices sing
The Book of Love will open up and let us in.
Take these broken wings -
Baby
I think tonight we can take
what was wrong and make it right.
Baby
It's all I know
that you're half of the flesh
And blood that makes me whole
I need you so.
So take these broken wings . . .
Take these broken wings . . .
