alex9005 Â Â 10 #50 Posted April 5, 2005 Was it Guns N' Roses that sang "Every Rose Has it's Thorns?" Don't remember, but that is a very beautiful song. Either that or Aerosmith's "Don't Wanna Miss A THing!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

No I think it was Poison.  Every rose has it's thorn, every night has it's dawn  Sorry but that's a bit too crass to be a classic.  I was once haunted by my clock radio which woke me up one morning in 1991 with a perfectly cued up "Man with the child in his eyes" by Kate Bush. I couldn't get the song out of my head, and bought her greatest hits on my way home that night, which I played so much it wore out my CD player. And Man with a Child in his eyes is such a Beatiful song. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I listened properly to the words, and understood what the song was about for the first time. Another of those songs that makes me feel tearful, in a good way!  StarSparkle - really going soppy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Cols   10 #54 Posted April 5, 2005 Originally posted by Cols  The song I'd choose is "The Man With the Child In His Eyes" by Kate Bush. Brings a tear to my eyes but don't know why.  Quoting myself here but as I've said, it moves me even though I don't understand the lyrics. Care to elaborate a bit .... Incredible if you believe the fact that she was only 14 when she wrote it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Incredible if you believe the fact that she was only 14 when she wrote it.  It's difficult to put into words, Cols. I take her to be singing about someone she loves very much, who retains an innocence and freshness about them that is rare in an adult. This person could be any age, but they can still view the world as a child does, someone who can look at the world as a place of wonder and beauty.  This childlike quality in someone is beautiful and can be very moving, not least because of its rarity. The person concerned is a rare flower to be treasured - but can easily be hurt and damaged by an insensitive world. Kate's obvious concern for him is very moving.  Kate sings of this man with great love and tenderness - whatever his age, in many ways he is still a child.  That's just my interpretation - perhaps it says as much about me as it does the actual song?  StarSparkle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Phanerothyme   12 #57 Posted April 6, 2005 Kate Bush - more or less her entire oeuvre. Flaming Lips - Do you realise ELO - Blue Sky Nina Simone - Feeling Good Sibelius - Finlandia Ravi Shankar - Raga Jogiya Frank Zappa - Sharleena Originally posted by DanSumption  The other song that always touches me also encompasses an entire life, and is one that nobody here is likely to have heard of, by a band that nobody will have heard of: Largelife by Lake of Puppies.  Do you like the Cardiacs by any chance? Sea Nymphs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Morte   10 #60 Posted April 7, 2005 Are you the one I've been waiting for? - Nick Cave  Melancholic & hopeful at the same time.  Oh and the Cardiacs are possibly one of the best live acts in the world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
