I've got the forum pretty much to myself at this time of night, so I'll have another go.

Suprised no mention of Richard Thompson - Beeswing, Woods of Darney, How will I ever be simple Again,etc etc. Or Leonard Cohen - If it be your will, hallelujah, Avalanche, Story of Isaac, The Partisan etc etc
Hurt by Johhny Cash is hard to listen to, IMHO.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnQ8N1KacJcThis track has huge emotional ties for me; not only because of the lyrics but because of the association with this forum.
Some years ago now a thread was started on here by a father who's son had died and he was asking for advice about how to plan his funeral.
As you can imagine it ended up being quite an emotional collection of posts. One of the things he wanted advice about was what music should be played. His son was a big Green Day fan so I suggested the above track - there could be no other.
He was also an avid skateborder so Heaven is a Half Pipe also made the playlist.
Whenever I hear Good Riddance(Time of Your Life) I always think of the STWer who lost his son. No idea who he is though.

Can't find a YouTube vid, but last night's Late Junction featured Belshazzar's Feast's epic arrangement of Home, Lads, Home by Cicely Fox Smith. It's been a while since the radio actually made me cry.
It was written about World War One, but it also made me think of the 43rd Wessex Division at Normandy - west country farm lads going in against the Panzers and Waffen-SS. My great-uncle (a Captain in the Somerset Light Infantry) was killed in the bitter fighting near Caen. He would never return to his beloved Quantock Hills.
Dead lads and shadowy horses, I see them all the same,
I see them and I know them and I call them each by name,
Riding down from harvest, when all the west’s aglow
And the lads all sitting sideways and singing as they goHome lads, home, with the sunset on their faces
Home, lads home, to those quiet, happy places,
For there’s rest for horse and man when the longest day is done
And they’ll all go home together at the setting of the sun.Posted 1 year ago # -
+1 for Shipbuilding for the lyrics/feel and vocals
+1 for Wires. Had read about it's meaning and then 4yrs ago it became all too personal. Have had to delete it from itunes and turn the radio over whenever it's on.

These all give me goosebumps, in different ways:
Melancholy, but totally uplifting:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlwkTo4ALmYTo misquote "The Shawshank Redemption", I have no idea to this day what
those two Italian ladies werethat fat Italian bloke was singing about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it.:

New Model Army - 'Green and Grey' - Perfectly sums up the hopelessness of small town life to me.
Also, pretty much anything on the Afghan Whigs' 'Gentlemen' album.
