Harry Chapin - The Shortest Story
Fields of Gold by Sting. Reminds me happiness is fleeting. At some point, even the most satisfying joy will be but a memory. I like the song even though it makes me feel somewhat melancholy.
I'm surprised this hasn't yet come up. It's practically an invitation to kill yourself. (and it mentions retirement)
I did a little reading on that today. Director Robert Altman had someone do the music, and he was going to write the lyrics but got stuck trying to make them "stupid enough" as he wanted them to be. So he had his 14 yr old son take a shot, and he did. Supposedly in 5 minutes, but I'm sure that's stretching the truth.The other is the theme song from M*A*S*H. "Suicide is Painless"
Can never hear it without thinking of the final episode of that show. Very sad.
I remember I visited the Jonny Cash museum in TN back in 2016 and got introduced this song (Hurt). The song was full of grief.Whew. gotta be about the most emotionally evocative song for me.
Some probably find this too sappy, but I've always liked it.
This one is about the 1927 flood in Louisiana. It has me bawling my eyes out. Older people here remember the flood and it was really bad.
