Subject: RE: POWERFUL SONGS THAT MAKE YOU UNEASY?
I know Sean...ducking flying objects here...but Kenny G's incorporation of the Challenger tapes in his historical montage of Auld Lang Syne...where you hear the Challenger exploding, and Reagan's speech about how they "slipped the bonds of Earth to touch the face of God" just as the music swells...I always lose it right there. Another similar experience is from Paul McCartney's live album of the Rio De Janerio show...where he sings "Fool On The Hill" and at the end while the music is playing, you suddenly hear the voice of Dr.Martin Luther King "I have a dream..." ...I'm on the verge of tears just thinking about it.
