What songs do you never get tired of?
I know it's not cool in some circles to mention country music...but there are two songs I love--and with the memories they conjure up--they'll live in me forever. Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisley...there's a story behind the song, that is so poignant that I'll share with whoever wants to know it. Write me [email protected] Lyric of note..."He put a bottle to his head and pulled the trigger"...wow youtube's video is a tear jerker too. One More Day--Diamond Rio... The country music awards were on about a week after the 9/11 attack--during the 'In Memoriam' section of the show, mentioning all those who'd died that year in Country Music, they perfomed an Homage to the 9/11 victims, which in a curious way is the whole world, certainly all Americans, of course some, more than others--and when Diamond Rio started singing this, and pictures of the Twin Towers smouldering appeared, the Nashville elite collectively lost it, crying and holding one another--unabashedly, gut wrenchingly sobbing for the whole world to see. No one who saw this and heard this song, could hold back the tears. Also, anyone who's lost a loved one either through death or stupidity--wishes for that, "One More Day". Music...there's nothing like it. Larry |
