Thread Name: Songs for the homesick
Subject: RE: Songs for the homesick
There is the home sickness that begins the moment one turns away from a long loved home. Listen to Eric Bogle's "Leaving Home" expecially Jeanie Redpath's rendition of it. I have listened to it over and over these last two weeks and every time I hear it the tears fall and my throat tightens. How does one learn to sing a song that won't lete you sing for the weeping?
