"My Grandfather's Clock" Which I learned about 10 years ago, and it still makes me cry."The Highwayman" The poem, especially--not just the song version of it.
"For My Bride" as sung by Bob Ford on his tape Fiddler's Green.
"Old Blue"
"Heavy Horses" by Jethro Tull--I'm a big fan of horses, and the thought of some horses not being around anymore jusst breaks my heart.
"Too Old to Rock and Roll" also by Jethro Tull--kind of a tragic song. . .
Most songs about war make me sad because I'm a pacifist and I don't actually believe in violence towards anyone, so of course I think war is one of the worst things ever created by humans because it hurts EVERYONE. Especially songs about the innocent bystanders in war--the children.
Peace--Bridget
