Subject: RE: POWERFUL SONGS THAT MAKE YOU UNEASY?
I usually don't post, but this just brought to mind a list.

I definitely agree with Tabor's "He Fades Away." I don't know how you can sing it let alone listen. But, in my opinion, Tabor is one of the most powerful singers around. For example, I cannot listen to her "Green FIelds of France" without tearing up, but I can listen to others.

"Cold Missouri Waters" of late by Cry Cry Cry had me standing at a listening station in the bookstore for nearly an hour.

"Any Mick'll DO" by Brian McNeill which I had the great priviledge to hear LIVE at the Arlington Highland games, is fabulous. Of course, McNeill is one of my new favorite musicians---"Muir and the Master Builder", "Prince of Darkness" are two more of his more powerful songs.

"On the Other Side" which is the second song on the Janis Ian comeback CD also makes my hair stand on end.

That's it for me. Sorry for going on so long.
