Help in the creation of the greatest leaving CD..... ever!

flogen · 08-01-2005 10:52PM #1

I'm trying to put together a CD of songs to do with leaving (like a place or something) and I need some input on it. All types of music are welcome but the less offensive or crude the better... so far all I can think of is Leaving on a Jetplane and New York, New York (just the opening lines really!)

anyone got any ideas?

thanks,
flogen

REM - Leaving New York

Les Miserables - Bring him home - I know that this is not strictly about leaving but it evokes the same strong sentiments

Will Young - Leave right now

The Pogues - Sally Maclennane - a lot of the songs from of Rum, $odemy and the Lash are in a simlar tone/vein

The Beatles - Shes leaving home

Doh - saw latest post - these are not cheesy...

Lynyrd Skynyrd- Tuesday's Gone.

I've only listened to the Metallica version on Garage Inc., but it was very appropriate.

And perhaps Pink Flloyd- Wish You Were Here?
