Not sure if anyone has done a thread on this or not, I couldnt find it if they have.
What song or songs would make you think of Jack and Ennis?  Here,s a few I thought of this morning that made me smile.

My guy.
Baby I love your way.(Peter Frampton)
I only wanna be with you.
Any more anyone can think of?
Always and forever. J&E.xx

Hi - there is a thread like this at the location below.  Sorry I don't know how to do the link.  I like your suggestions btw - very fitting.   :)

I can think of some "time appropriate" songs that remind me of Jack and Ennis.  These are from the 70s:

Give me your Love (Love Song)  Curtis Mayfield
Inside My Love (Minnie Ripperton)
Think Twice (Donald Byrd)

Oh man, there are so many songs that make me think of Jack and Ennis.  It would take me forever to post them all.

But maybe I'll just mention a couple while I'm at it.

Two of Us by The Beatles

Do What You Have to Do by Sarah McLachlan

Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls

I'll Follow You Into the Dark by Death Cab for Cutie

I'll Always Love You by Michael Johnson

Okay, that was more than just a few...but I have so many!!!  Maybe I can post some more later.

Hi, this is my first post here!  I'm active over at the Dave Cullen forum, have just started writing a fanfic and also go by the name Talks to Coyotes.

Ever since I saw Brokeback for the first time, I've been hearing songs that make me think of Ennis and Jack.  Some of them the whole song, others just lines.  Here's a few:

Fields of Gold, Sting (whole song)
Song For a Winter's Night, Sarah McLachlin (whole song)
Hero, Enrique Iglesias

Also a phrase from Bruce Springsteen's "City of Ruin" makes me think of Ennis right after returning from Lightning Flat:

Now there's tears on the pillow, darlin', where we slept
And you took my heart when you left.
Without your sweet kiss my soul is lost, my friend.
Tell me, how do I begin again?

Confidentiel: (Jean-Jacques Goldman)
&search=brokeback%20mountain


translation: I wanted simply to say to you
                  that your face and your smile
                  Will remain near to me, on my way

                  To tell you that it was truth,
                  All that was said, all that was done
                   that it was not false, that it was good
\
                  above all, never regret
                   even if it hurt, it was gain
                   all the moments,  all the same mornings

                    I don't want to tell you not to cry
                    truly, we don't want to turn our backs on anything,
                    and everything we didn't miss out on was  well worth it

                    Perhaps we'll see each other again,
                    maybe,  maybe not,
                    but know that I am here.
 

                    there will remain like a light
                    that will keep me warm in my winters
                     a little fire of you which will not go out.
                   
The song was written by Jean-Jaque4s Goldman in 1985, foir a friend who had died 10 years earlier.          _
_________________________________________________________
Je voulais simplement te dire
Que ton visage et ton sourire
Resteront près de moi, sur mon chemin

Te dire que c'était pour de vrai
Tout c'qu'on s'est dit, tout c'qu'on a fait
Qu'c'était pas pour de faux, que c'était bien

Faut surtout jamais regretter
Même si ça fait mal, c'est gagné
Tous ces moments, tous ces mêmes matins

J'vais pas te dire qu'faut pas pleurer
Y'a vraiment pas d'quoi s'en priver
Et tout c'qu'on n'a pas loupé, le valait bien

Peut-être on se retrouvera
Peut-être que peut-être pas
Mais sache qu'ici bas, je suis là

ça restera comme une lumière
Qui m'tiendra chaud dans mes hivers
Un petit feu de toi qui s'éteint pas

(Second verse of "Fain would i change that note")

O love, they wrong thee much
who say thy sweet is bitter
when thy ripe fruit is such
as nothing can be sweeter
    Fair house of joy and bliss
    where trust pleasure is
    I do adore thee;
    I see thee what thou art,
    I love thee in my heart
    And fall before thee.           
 
             Tobias Hume, 16th-17th century

This is a song by a Dutch band named Kane. I translated the 'she' from the original song into a 'he', but this song just gets to me whenever I hear it.

Where do I go now

With my head against the window
Seal the letter which I did not sign
Should I wait for you for one last time
There's no end and no beginning
Every word comes like a silent scream
He told all the things I did not see
How could I know that he would lift me up to let me down
How could I know that you are all that really matters now
How could I know that forever wasn't quite so long
So where do I go now
Where do I go yeah, now
Where do I go yeah
he says nothing's everlasting
I'm so confused, I don't know what to do, what to say
I forgive you but I can not stay
How could I know I thought you'd wait for me but I was wrong
How could I know that you are all that really matters now
How could I know that forever wasn't quite so long
So where do I go now
Where do I go yeah, now
Where do I go yeah
Oh, yeah Where do I go now
Where do I go yeah, yeah
Where do I go yeah (2x)
He says nothing's everlasting

 Oh, Shenandoah,
I long to hear you,
Away, you rolling river.
Oh, Shenandoah,
I long to hear you,
Away, I'm bound to go,
Across the wide Missouri.

 Oh, Shenandoah,
I love your daughter,
Away, you rolling river.
I'll taike her 'cross
Your rolling water,
Away, I'm bound to go,
Across the wide Missouri.

We're pushing off
When dawn's a breaking
Going cross the wide Missouri,
Where my love
she stands a waiting
For me.

Oh Shenendoah, we're bound to leave you,
Away, you rolling river.
Oh, Shenandoah,
I'll not deceive you,
Away, we're bound to go,
Across the wide Missouri   

.(Missuori is pronounced Missoura)

Hurricane by Eric Benet

Standing here in disarray
A calm serenity
The winds of change can devastate
And it took this much for me
With nowhere to run and no reason left to hide
Gonna hold on
All the walls around are broken down
Now I can hear the rising sun
 
Surrounded by everything I want
But nothing that I need
I was blinded by the absurdity
Losing all identity
Sometimes what you fear the most is what you need
To find that road
Right around that curve a lesson learned
Now that I have the eyes to see
 
A hurricane, a hurricane
Is sometimes the only way to wash away the pain
A hurricane, a hurricane
Is sometimes the only thing that brings you back again
 
With poison toys I'd isolate
But the wind was strong and true
But now I see where the treause is
'Cause they only blocked my view
I'm spiraling down but so oblivious
Got to find my way home
There's a heart that bleeds trapped in me
But how do I break this shell of stone
 
A hurricane, a hurricane
Is sometimes the only way to wash away the pain
A hurricane, a hurricane
Is sometimes the only thing that brings you back again
 
Sometimes I cried, the tears wouldn't fall
And sometimes I tried to break those walls
And feel your love
But I came alive
When I finally found my way
 
A hurricane, a hurricane
Is sometimes the only way to wash away the pain
A hurricane, a hurricane
Is sometimes the only thing that brings you back again
Remember upon the conduct of each depends the fate of all. - Alexander the Great
