A song that makes me think of Brokeback Mountain
TJ:
I am an Eagles' fan and I do like the song "Desperado" which belongs over in the CM and WM thread which I created.
Country Music and Western Music are two separate rural music genres. Marty Robbins sang Western ballads, Country songs and rock-n-roll pop songs, too. But, he was best at Western songs.

Well, this is probably going to sound silly, but I heard this Chris Isaak song, Wicked Game, over the Muzak while shopping at Bed, Bath & Beyond a few weeks ago, and it reminded me of Brokeback Mountain.
The world was on fire
No one could save me but you.
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
No, I don't want to fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
No, I don't want to fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
With you
With you
What a wicked game you play
To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do
To make me dream of you
v And I don't wanna fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
And I don't want to fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
{World was on fire
No one could save me but you
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
No I don't wanna fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart
No I don't wanna fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
With you
With you
Nobody loves no one

Ah Chris Isaak....love that song and a whole bunch of his. I'm a huge Joni Mitchell fan, and while a lot of her songs are about love and love lost, it was hard to think of one that fits Brokeback. So I'm going with this one called River, cuz I feel like it has a little bit of both Jack and Ennis in it. If you've never heard it, it's beautiful.
River:
Its coming on christmas
Theyre cutting down trees
Theyre putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
But it dont snow here
It stays pretty green
Im going to make a lot of money
Then Im going to quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
He tried hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
Im so hard to handle
Im selfish and Im sad
Now Ive gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I made my baby say goodbye
Its coming on christmas
Theyre cutting down trees
Theyre putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

Toast:
Thank You Juan C
Yes Ennis and Jack should have a Christmas together
Here is my Christmas wish for them.
Christmas Lullaby © Melanie Safka
And when I remember
how good your love feels
The real world goes slipping away
And though it's just dreaming
I make your love true
And I'd trade in this real world
for Christmas with you
I go to a wonderland
in the moonlight glow
When most of me is feeling alone
And we'll make snow angels
in the new fallen snow
And make tracks from our heaven
to the place we call home
And though it's just Christmas
is there anything else
Sometimes I awaken to question myself
Oh what fools, what children,
to follow the heart
For a dream
that might last just one night
But something that doesn't
speak English says do
And I trade in this real world
for Christmas with you
And something with wings
and speaks only in blue
Tells me trade in this real world
for Christmas with you
- Remember their moonlit night, Jack dressed in blue, and that some of us say that he is like the sky and the wind.

Is that THE Melanie? Do you have a link? I need something to listen to while weeding the lawn (in between ABC breaks!)
Oh, BTW, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young will be performing at Red Rocks, about a mile away from me, on my birthday July 17. I'll be camped out in the rocks above the amphitheater.
