This song is my all time favourite, In my view the best song ever writen and sung.
It has no subnificant memory for me exept one cold night in 1970 outside on my own hearing this song on a small transister radio.
Everytime I hear it, I kinda well up, no particular reason why.

Does any song do this for you.

Happy Birhday To You-'cause you know that cake is soon to follow.

It's one of my faves as well, although for songs that make me well up, there's one main one that gets me every time, Amazing Grace! Especially sung by Judy Collins or the late Harry Secombe... :cry:

History by The Verve is a bit emotional. No reason really, no personal memories attached, just a sad song with a pretty tune.

It's a little known fact that Paul Simon wrote "Bridge Over Troubled Water" while sat on Widnes station waiting for a train home that had been heavily delayed due to the River Mersey flooding; indeed there now is a plaque on the station wall to commemorate this.

The song was to form part of a centrepiece for an album but most of the tracks were never recorded, as Art Garfunkel didn't think they were up to Simon's usual standards. Thus the world was denied the chance to hear Simon's songs "What Time's The Next Train To Runcorn Central?", "Call This Filth Coffee?" and "Where Is This Effing Train?"

I prefer "Trouble Over Bridgewater"

Did you also know that a young Robert Zimmerman was,at the time,working as a ticket collector on Widness station.Witnessing Simons plight,he was moved to write Slow Train Coming,When you Gonna Wake Up and a little known version of one of his classics,Timetables are a Changin'

I think it was Homeward Bound that Paul Simon wrote while he was waiting for the train.
