I don’t think I’m familiar with the other songs on your list, but I’ll have to check them out. I love One Day Like This.


Ill give you a sample of my favorite lines

From Long Ride Home which is about a husband driving home from his wife's funeral:

Forty years go by with someone laying in your bed
Forty years of things you wish you'd never said
How hard would it have been to say some kinder words instead
I wonder as I stare up at the sky turning red

From Ring on the Sill,, about a couple's engagement. I've been married for 45 years and these words still ring true.

And they're thinking of the long road ahead
and the strength that they will need
just to reach the end
And there in the silence they search for
the balance between this fear that they feel
and a love that has graced their lives



DP, these sound like pure poetry!

Just the INXS version? Because that's a Joy Division song.


INXS - Never Tear Us Apart
Joy Divison - Love Will Tear Us Apart


I posted the INXS song. Just that one. No other version exists for me. Just as the person it reminds me of. Extraordinary.

Just do the steps that you've been shown
By everyone you've ever known
Until the dance becomes your very own
No matter how close to yours another's steps have grown
In the end there is one dance you'll do alone

[...]

Into a dancer you have grown
From a seed somebody else has thrown
Go on ahead and grow some seeds of your own
And somewhere between the time you arrive
And the time you go
May lie a reason you were alive
That you'll never know

Wow. What a songwriter.

Don't You Forget About Me (Simple Minds) - we weren't meant to be, but there was so much more we could have done

Forever Young (Alphaville) - my mom encouraged me to go back to school and like clockwork, this song would come on when driving home

Heroes (David Bowie) - powerful reminder of love with challenges

I Can See Clearly Now (Jimmy Cliff version) - if this doesn't make you feel better, nothing will

Things We Said Today (The Beatles) - being with someone at its simplest

One Tree Hill (U2) - haunting lines of grief

Ten Years Gone (Led Zeppelin) - for the one you never forget

Supermarket Flowers- Ed Sheeran

I first heard the song within a month of my MIL passing away. I couldn’t stop crying the first time I listened to the song. I still tear up when I hear it.

One of the most amazing performances I've seen is Carol Spinney performing "It's not Easy Being Green" as Big Bird at Jim Henson's funeral. You can tell Spinney is weeping but he stays in character the whole time.

Will always be “Tears In Heaven” by Eric Clapton.

I literally cry every time I hear this particular song.
