Old School Songs (Really old, old school)

The next time you hear "Dancing in September" hang on until after the last verse and try telling me those horns are not amazing.

I could listen to it everyday.

Nights In White Satin. The music at the end is so haunting and beautiful!

I feel like I'm back in college in the early '70s in this thread. Great '60s music that rolled over.

Give me the Doors and Zeppelin.

My son LOVES the Lollipop song.

The Dells, great street corner singers, and Carole King and James Taylor. The great ones came out of the 1960s. Sue me, I'm biased.

Mumford and Sons?

Can you lie next to her
And give her your heart, your heart
As well as your body
And can you lie next to her
And confess your love, your love
As well as your folly
And can you kneel before the king
And say I'm clean, I'm clean

[Chorus:]
But tell me now, where was my fault
In loving you with my whole heart
Oh, tell me now, where was my fault
In loving you with my whole heart

A white blank page and a swelling rage, rage
You did not think when you sent me to the brink, to the brink
You desired my attention but denied my affections, my affections

[Chorus:]
So tell me now, where was my fault
In loving you with my whole heart
Oh tell me now, where was my fault
In loving you with my whole heart

Lead me to the truth and I will follow you with my whole life
Oh, lead me to the truth and I will follow you with my whole life

Ok btw "Cant' take my eyes off you" used to be DH and my song! LOVE IT

Must also report here that my cockatoo dances to "Shot through the Heart"

Well this may be TOO old school for you but we had a 1940s theme wedding and big band music. Awesome; we all were in costume and Humphrey Bogart greeted guests; we had gambling. Total supper club vibe. There are FANTASTIC songs out there.

At that time (we got married 15 years ago) Time/Life had a CD series--one CD for every year of the 40s, the top hits then. OMG. Awesome. The collection might be still out there or on ebay. "Slow Boat to China" (from that version, other versions are not as good--it's Kay Kyser's version with a woman and a man singing) was my favorite song…sassy, visual!

Jo Stafford's beautiful "Haunted Heart" and the classic (also visual)"Moonlight in Vermont." Haunted Heart for years was my absolute fave.

Now moving forward in time, you can't go wrong with Frank Sinatra's Duets CD. Dean Martin "Volare" such a classic.

IMHO all kids should be exposed to the original (Astrud Gilberto's) Girl from Impanema!

Beatles "And I Love Her"

Goodbye to you, my trusted friend.
We've known each other since we're nine orten.
Together we climbed hills or trees.
Learned of love andABC's,
skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.
Goodbye my friend, it'shard to die,
when all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that thespring is in the air.
Pretty girls are everywhere.
When you see them I'llbe there.
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the hillsthat we climbed
were just seasons out of time.
Goodbye, Papa, please prayfor me,
I was the black sheep of the family.
You tried to teach me rightfrom wrong.
Too much wine and too much song,
wonder how I getalong.
Goodbye, Papa, it's hard to die
when all the birds are singing inthe sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
Little childreneverywhere.
When you see them I'll be there.
We had joy, we had fun, wehad seasons in the sun.
But the wine and the song,
like the seasons, allhave gone.
Goodbye, Michelle, my little one.
You gave me love and helpedme find the sun.
And every time that I was down
you would always comearound
and get my feet back on the ground.
Goodbye, Michelle, it's hard todie
when all the bird are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is inthe air.
With the flowers ev'rywhere.
I whish that we could both bethere.
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the stars wecould reach
were just starfishs on the beach

Though it's not about a person per se, I've always liked John Denver's "Country Roads"

[Anonymous]

For modern songs with a similar feeling, I'd look to Bruno Mars. "When I was Your Man" and "Just the Way You Are" come to mind.
