Music that makes you want to cry

[Lanzo-Ad]

He has a hell of a way with a lyric.

Well Frank settled down in the Valley
And he hung his wild years
On a nail that he drove through
His wife's forehead.

That is from the song called Franks wild years, its about 2 minutes but brilliant

If your an oldie like me you may remember Marmalde song Reflections Of My Life.
The lead singer rerecorded it a few years ago just before he died. Done as a ballard with cello and violin. Very touching given that the song was adopted by Vietnam soldiers upon it's original release.

Your mum must have got a good score then?

She died on New Year's Eve and missed her 99th birthday by a month

Another favourite I first heard this on the TV show House. I believe the artist was dying when he wrote this.

while you mention Tom, and amazing lyrics, try this.

"they are sharpening their knives, on my mistakes"

One to make you cry...."The girls around here all look like Cadillacs"

He is IMO, untouchable as a lyricist

they all affect me because of many friends and family who are no longer around 😢

All on the list when they pick you for Desert Island Discs.

Martha has a wobbly bottom, maybe not the same Martha...

Golden Slumbers by the Beatles often played at funerals gets everyone in tears.

Living Years by Mike and the Mechanics always chokes me up. Very moving lyrics about father son relationships and the tragedy of not mending differences before its too late, sung by the brilliant Paul Carrack.

Colombian Martha in the Miami Beach hotel room with the shooter hidden under her pillow in Scarface when the chainsaw comes out?

‘’You have it in the car?’’
‘’No I don’t have it in the car man’’

Brilliant when those 2 did a scene together in Carlito’s Way.

"Every generation blaims the one before" one of the best opening lines ever

Excellent song by the flaming lips from a superb album which is one of my favourites.
