Songs that tug your heart strings...

Starry Starry Night...Don Mclean
This beautiful poetic masterpiece touches me so deeply I can almost feel Van Gogh's pain.
How he "suffered for his sanity, how he tried to set us free"
"Morning fields of amber grain, weathered faces lined in pain, are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand."

Andy Russell made this popular back in the 40's.

I know that "Besame Mucho" was written and performed by Consuelo Velazquez in 1940. I think Andy Russell performed it in 1943. He was the first to sing it in both Spanish and English. I don't think I've ever heard a bad version of it. Even the Beatles recorded it! šŸ˜


And for you, Lew. :);)

 
Lara's Theme...why not :giggle:


Somewhere my love there will be songs to sing
Although the snow covers the hope of Spring
Somewhere a hill blossoms in green and gold
And there are dreams, all that your heart can hold
Someday we'll meet again, my love
Someday whenever the Spring breaks through
You'll come to me, out of the long-ago
Warm as the wind, soft as the kiss of snow
Lara, my own, think of me now and then
Godspeed, my love, till you are mine again

One of those tunes you hear in the morning and you're still humming it at bedtime. šŸ˜Š
 
I was at Starbucks today and as usual I was listening to my favorite local sports talk show through my earbuds. However, this song came on Starbucks Radio and for whatever reason this song hit me like a ton of bricks. I have heard it countless times in my life but this morning I paused the sports talk radio show, took off my earbuds and let this song take over me. I'm still not sure why but I felt like I was listening to it for the first time . And yes, I do like the James Taylor version too but there is a vulnerability in Carole King's voice that just sounds so honest and raw.
