Songs That Hit You (Below The Buckle)

[NIN]

Earlier this evening, listening to some old tunes - I'm transported back to another time & place

This thread is for posting links to the songs that always emotionally whack you with a sucker punch,
bringing a tear to the eye, make you reminisce that lost love or perhaps some memories of a sad time
Some songs just do that, especially if there's a personal moment attached to the lyric, perhaps a time in a relationship or family difficulties, but there are those emotionally charged tracks.

I'll Kick Off with a band that can often knock the wind out of my trousers, Tears For Fears.
I really don't know why these songs get to my emotional bones, but they do rip me to the core each & every time I hear them ...

2 Tracks from the 1989 album, "Sowing The Seeds Of Love". The first selection obviously reminds me that i'm getting closer to my curtain every day & the hope that we can each make our lives better, the second.., I really can't explain why it brings a tear to my eye.

Soon we will be older
When we gonna make it work ?

Too many people living in a secret world
While they play mothers and fathers
We play little boys and girls
When we gonna make it work ?

I could be happy, I could be quite naive
It's only me and my shadows, Happy in our make believe
Soon We Will Be Older, When we gonna make it work?

And with the hounds at bay
I'll call your bluff
Cos it would be okay
To walk on tiptoes everyday

And when I think of you and all the love that's due
I'll make a promise, I'll make a stand
Cos to these big brown eyes, this comes as no surprise
We've got the whole wide world in our hands

Advice for the young at heart
Soon we will be older
When we gonna make it work ?

Love is promise
Love is a souvenir
Once given
Never forgotten, never let it disappear
This could be our last chance
When we gonna make it work ?
Working hour is over

And how it makes me weep
Cos someone sent my soul to sleep

And when I think of you and all the love that's due
I'll make a promise, I'll make a stand
Cos to these big brown eyes, this comes as no surprise
We've got the whole wide world in our hands

Advice for the young at heart
Soon we will be older
When we gonna make it work ?

Working hour is over
We can do anyhting that we want
Anything that we feel like doing
Advice...

We will laugh, We will sing
When the saints go marching in

A for a heart, B for a brain
Insects and grass
Are all that remain
When the light from above
Burns a hole straight through our love
We will laugh, We will sing, When the saints go marching in
And we will carry war no more.

All our love and all our of pain
Will be but a tune
The Sun and the Moon
The wind and the rain
Hand in hand we'll do and die
Listening to the band that made us cry
We'll have nothing to lose
We'll have nothing to gain
Just to stay this real life situation
For one last refrain.

As the day hits the night
We will sit by candlelight
We will laugh
We will sing
When the saints go marching in
And we will carry war, no more.
