Thread Name: Powerful Songs That Make You Uneasy? (closed)
Subject: RE: POWERFUL SONGS THAT MAKE YOU UNEASY?
Kathy Mattea's "Where've You Been?" (written by her husband about his grandparents in a nursing home); Phil Ochs' "No More Songs" (portending his suicide?); Tom Paxton's "On the Road from Srebrenica" (the first time I heard him perform it I almost got up and left the auditorium) and, for some reason unbeknownst to me, "Scarlet Ribbons" always chokes me up.
