Ain't that interesting?
Agree with both Yorkshire Yankee and El Greko re Stan Rogers' Lies. Like YY, it took me a long time to get composed enough to actually sing it, it's so moving.
Thanks, El Greko, I'd agree in adding Graeme Miles' Where Ravens Feed to that category too. And have done!
Then we've got Ewan's JOY OF LIVING. And Dave Webber's Parting Song.
And some of El Greko's own too, come to that .....
Then there's any number of Richard Thompson songs - BEESWING, 1952 VINCENT BLACK LIGHTNING, WITHERED AND DIED, THE POOR DITCHING BOY for starters.
Robin Williamson's FIRST GIRL I LOVED and OCTOBER SONG.
Dylan - TOMORROW IS A LONG TIME.
Joni Mitchell's BOTH SIDES NOW.
And of course so many by the true original Morley Man, Keith Marsden !

The list could go on and on. There's so many that we humble singers try to do justice to (right on, Linda - love your singing too!), and sure, in doing so we might fail - albeit honourably.
