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.
