Thread Name: A Song That Moved You?
Subject: RE: A Song That Moved You?
Great thread. I find all of the best music moving, but some of my favorites(and an eclectic batch it is)The Fireside Largo from Vivaldi's The Four Seasons. It is a Thanksgiving tradition in my family to play the Four Seasons as we relax after dinner.I don't know if it's the memories of all the other Thanksgivings that flood back, or the exquisite note of beauty and longing in this piece, but I get tears in my eyes every time I hear it."The Healing has Begun" by Van Morrison.I feel healed listening to it."Sleepless Nights" by the Louvin Brothers. My favorite version is by Gram Parsons and Emmy Lou. I am also quite partial to Dusty Springfield singing "The Look of Love." And old Hank Williams singing "I'm so Lonesome I could Cry."
