steve t A Song That Moved You? (108* d) RE: A Song That Moved You? 18 Mar 98


Gosh...songs that moved me. I guess that means they put me in a mood, but not necessarily a teary-eyed mood.

When I sing 'em: Mr. Tanner. Singing just made him whole. So great. Planxty's Musgrave. Runs the gammut of emotions. Mary Ellen Carter. Didn't grow on me till repeat 200. Shenandoah. I'm bound to leave you... Deep Blue Sea. Can't explain this one. It just works. Fair Flower of Northumberland. Incredible ending. Jenny Bryce and Kilkelly. Both so tough to sing. Night Rider's Lament. And They've never seen the Northern Lights.

When others have sang 'em: Ferron's Testimony sung by four women once. Incredible. Bogle's Leaving Nancy. About leaving his mom at the train station when he heads off for Austrailia. Please post the lyrics someone. White Sport's Coat. I'm always idiotically happy after hearing this one sung by a few friends who ham it up.

When heard on recordings: The Furey's Night Ferry. Heard 1st while away from home. Lover's Lullaby by Janis Ian = automatic night mood Three Babies by Sinead O'Connor. No real idea what it's about but it still pulls me into its mood every time.
