Songs that hit you straight between the eyes...

[Aperitif]

Nah, this one.

Nice

"Nah this one..."




Actually, the all time favourite is Free Bird - 33 years plus of loving this tune - a bit too long for youtube...

 

[mondobongo]

right between your eyebrows pure class.

 

[Dave5N]

...as did Jon and Vangelis' 'I'll Find My Way Home'...

Nice

"Nah this one..."




Actually, the all time favourite is Free Bird - 33 years plus of loving this tune - a bit too long for youtube...

Nah, redneck bigotry

right between your eyebrows pure class.

Nah, wosre thing the Clash ever did

Nah, this is the one, compulsory listening for all dads. Listen to it all, it's only 4 minutes of your life.

4 Minutes? Felt like 4 days.

 

[MichaelM]

Roses By Cara Dillon always gives me goosebumps.

 

[jashburnham]

One of my all time faves

Hey - The Pixies:



And

Gold Lion - Yeah Yeah Yeah's:



+1 for Cash's version of Hurt though.

 

[Kirstie]

Hmm...second Cash's Hurt; A song called 'Will You?' by Hazel O'Connor; Love will tear us apart - Joy Division; What difference does it make - The Smiths; ummm...

 

[Slim]

Circle Back by John Hiatt - with Sonny Landreth playing slide.

 

[cisamcgu]

I also love this

Esquerita, Oh Baby

Sorry about the slightly dodgy video, there's nothing on Youtube with the man himself and very little on the 'net. But just listen to the intro, best heard loud.

 

[Chuffy]

I still remember the first time that I heard Two Tribes by FGTH. Absolutely blew me away.

There's a very obscure song that I heard once, on TOTP, back in the early 80s. It was called Midnight Blue, I have no idea who it's by. A friend of mine had a copy and played it for me a few years ago. It had been stuck in my mind for nearly 20 years and hearing it again was amazing.

 

[Sh4rkyBloke]

Nah, this is the one, compulsory listening for all dads. Listen to it all, it's only 4 minutes of your life.

Much prefer the Ugly Kid Joe version:
more balls to it me thinks.

 

[Sh4rkyBloke]

The first time I heard this (Eva Cassidy - Fields of gold) it made the hairs on my neck stand up - extremely beautiful and haunting.

Such a sad story about her - taken very early by cancer.

 

[Sh4rkyBloke]

For a little bit of variety (it being the spice of life, and all) - this is one of my all time favourite 'songs'.

The chorus with the two singers together is outstanding... always sends shivers up my spine.

It's a duet from Bizet's Pearl Fishers called "Au Fond Du Temple Saint", and is available here.

 

[Rhythm Thief]

One of my all time faves

Hey - The Pixies:

Good choice.

 

[alecstilleyedye]

You know the ones...they knock you sideways he first ime you hear them.

Here's one..I caught it on the Jool Holland show years ago and have only just found it. It's Bjork singing 'Joga' misspelt 'yoga' on this particular live version.
Bjork is like Marmite, you either love her or hate her...if you're in the hate camp still try this...it's sublime and for reasons I dont understand it always makes my eyes smile with water

it's not a misspelling, jóga is the correct title.
