Losing My Religion is definitely about love/heartbreak

The living Years - Mike and the Mechanics.

Beautiful song written by a son who lost his father but had a complicated relationship with him.

“Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door

I know that I'm a prisoner
To all my Father held so dear
I know that I'm a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years”

Love how he treats his grandmother on her 100th birthday, it's really sweet and beautiful.

And SHE is so ALIVE!

I should be so lucky, at any age.

Agreed on The Last Great American Dynasty. It makes me smile whenever I hear it.

I wouldn’t call any of these except American Dynasty ‘beautiful’ songs. Follow instructions.

Vince Gill’s Go Rest High on That Mountain

Maybe on the religious side, but a beautiful song nonetheless.

Start Small, Think Big by Michael Franti.

Many others by him as well.

Wow, Blue Rodeo! I had a friend in college 30 years ago who introduced me to them - and I've never heard them mentioned by anyone else. Are you Canadian?

Let The Mystery Be - it was the theme song to The Leftovers, so I guess it does have some heartbreak in it, but it's not heartbreak over romantic love. It's heartbreak over the fact of mortality. And it's a GORGEOUS song.

Ah, my peoples. A PP mentioned Dreams by The Cranberries. That song can instantly transport me back to 1993.

+1 LOVE the Cranberries.

+2 - listening to the CD a hundred times over in my dorm room. My poor roommate. (Not just for that, but that's another thread!)
