Well done. You remember cat good.
Coldplay - The Scientist. Up until Wednesday the song meant nothing to me, same as the rest of their output. But my sister's boyfriend was buried on Wednesday after battling cancer all year, only got diagnosed in February and died 2 weeks ago, aged just 36. He was given the all-clear in September, yet a month later was riddled with it again.
Anyway, that song was played at the end of his funeral on Wednesday and there was some feature on R4 about Glastonbury this morning and they played it. I had to pull over, proper choked. RIP Stu.

No hair shows you care.
you know what, i've got the original of that on the LP by The Family but i don't think i have ever listened to it since the Sinead O' Connor version came out. really must dig it out and compare the two sometime.

Ooh, good one - I like a bit of Ralph, one of England's finest composers. It reminds me a little of my brother's favourite tune, Richard Strauss' Death and Transfiguration which is a tone poem all about an artist on his deathbed coming to terms with his mortality. Once you know what the music's trying to say it becomes extremely emotional and uplifting, there's a lovely 'heartbeat' near the end as the artist accepts his lot and finds peace.

Wow, me too; at exactly that moment.
Another one that does it for me is the bit in Tightrope off Roses Second Coming; the bit where it goes; "The boats in the ha-arbour, slip from their chains, head for new horizons, let's do the same".
Sentiment or structure, I've got no idea. Then again, I'm a right soppy cunt, so that might have something to do with it.

Despite widespread abuse and derision, I've often thought so. It's nice to have it confirmed though.

WHOOO HOOOO !!!
I think it is more of a personal thing, but for me it is Paul Simon - Gracelands, a certain part:
"And she said losing love
Is like a window in your heart,
Everybody sees you're blown apart,
Everybody sees the wind blow,"
"And she said losing love
Is like a window in your heart,
Everybody sees you're blown apart,
Everybody sees the wind blow,"
There's quite a few Ryan Adams tracks that make me well up a bit, Desire is one of them.
