    jesus was an only son - springsteen


    "theres a loss that can never be replaced,
    a destination that can never be reached,
    a light you'll never find in anothers eyes,
    a sea whose distance cannot be breached...

    jesus kissed his mothers hands,
    whisperer mother still your tears,
    remember the soul of the universe,
    willed a world and it appeared"

    or at least i think thats how some of it goes....
    its not even a religous song of sorts...can be looked at in many ways and fits in amazingly with the other themes on Devils and Dust.

    love it.

    I Believe In You - Talk Talk. Just breathtaking.

    QFT, my second favourite song. 'Inheritance' on that album is amazing too. But 'New Grass' is my favourite song of all. Heavenly, and that's coming from an agnostic.

    In Dreams by Roy Orbison.

    Beautifully sung by the Big O.
    The song form is unusual but fantastic use of melody and harmony throughout.

    and what about that ending...!

    It's an unbelievable tune, and I only got into it after seeing 'Blue Velvet'.

    Top of the list ; Ryan Adams - Oh my sweet Carolina

    then I suppose Land Lock Blues by Bright Eyes, Johnny Cash doing Hurt, Cohen's Halleluja, Sinead O connor doing nothing compares to you acousticly is beautiful. Lost Cause by Beck too.

    I have indeed, Mitchell does of course bring something more to it with the first person nature.

    Tragically unheard song.

    Iris Dement - Our Town
    I love this. Reminds me of home and the small things you think of there.

    Israel Kamakawiwo Ole's version of Somewhere over the rainbow
    From 'Finding Forrester' I think.

    Darrell Scott & Paul Brady - Shattered Cross
    Beautiful song. Came from a great T.V. series. We don't give our own performers enough credit.

    Jose Gonzalez
    Need I say more?

    Jim James & Calexico - Goin' to Acalpulco

    Charlotte Gainsbourg and Calexico - Just Like A Woman

    Bob Dylan - Lay Lady Lay
    I could go on forever with Bob Dylan

    Lisa Hannigan - Lille
    Loving this song at the moment.

    Nice simple song/poem written by Joseph Mary Plunkett (faught in the 1916 Rising and was executed for it) called "Grace"

    Also, "Vincent", performed (and I think written) by Don McLean

    Excellent choice Dave! - not meaning to be overly pedantic but it wasn't actually written by Joseph Plunkett just from his POV. It was written in 80's by two brothers from Galway called Frank and Sean O'Meara.


    Two mind bendlingly beautiful songs..


    The Pogues - Rainy Night In Soho. MacGowan's finest hour.

    And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda written by Eric Bogle and recorded by many.. the greatest anti-war song of them all.
