witterth Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 [quote name='fryer' post='1075093' date='Jan 2 2011, 10:53 AM']They sound happy compared to this - Jim Reeves - Old Tige. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaEGlYFhnRc"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaEGlYFhnRc[/url] (Tige you were faithful faithful to the end Tige how I miss you you were my best friend) Three years of Army Service done and I was headin' home at last. I got to thinking bout my dog and things long gone and past. How old Tige pulled me from the creek when I had no pulse or breath, and how he saved me from the chargin' bull that gored my Dad to death. As a kid I'd dream of bears and tremble to my toes Till old Tige come up to my bed and nudge me with his nose. Then my fears would melt away and Tige would go lie down, I'd drift on back to sleep without another sound. The big bus stopped I got off - it was awful dark and thick with fog. Then something gently nuzzled me and there stood Tige my dog. I wondered if my faithful dog had met the bus each day And all the dreary winter nights since I'd been away. To have Tige meet me here like this, I was...I was really glad 'Cause I hadn't needed Tige so much since the day they'd buried Dad. Two long miles still lay ahead, but what I didn't know A giant Dam was being built where the old road used to go. I thank the Lord for sending Tige and I followed where he led, Knowing well without his help that I'd be good as dead. Tige inched along this way and that, going rough and slow, And I could hear the water lappin' at the ledges far below. Then through the mist I saw a light and mother in her chair, I reached down to pet old Tige but he wasn't there. I'm thankful Mom you had old Tige these three lonely years I owe my life to him tonight, I couldn't help my tears. You say you wrote me bout the Dam, well, God was sure with us I didn't get your letter, Mom, but old Tige met the bus. I hate to tell you son, she said, but now you've got to know. When you left it broke his heart...Tige died three years ago. (You were my best friend)[/quote] Sob!! Quote
Lylodile Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Stopped To Fill my Car Up - Stereophonics Beautiful song. Quote
Rich Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wds903B96V8"]For You - Judie Tzuke[/url]. Not sad, but gobsmackingly beautiful... just a few strings, and layers of vocals, and that's it. No bass, so it probably doesn't belong here. Quote

Deep Thought Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 [quote name='LiamPodmore' post='1075714' date='Jan 2 2011, 08:55 PM']Nothing like Tim's usual stuff, and christmas themed, but just phenomenal[/quote] Oh, hell, I'm avoiding that one in the future. I think Tim Minchin is incredible, and this only goes to support my assertion, as I was, I'm not ashamed to admit, bawling my eyes out over that one, which is unusual for me. Quote

Jam Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Porcupine Tree, Heartattack in a Layby. Almost always makes me upset, never good to listen to when you're feeling down but to me, very powerful music. Quote
73Jazz Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) Instrumental, Classic Orchestra by Celtic Frost Wonderful piece from Opeth Edited January 18, 2011 by 73Jazz Quote
WalMan Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) Cople of unexpected one possibly? All good (for me anyway) in a lights out, headphones on & just let it wash over when things are getting fraught Always loved this song - shame about the video tacked onto it This is quite good too The Little Bruises album is pretty good all round. Still gets a spin on occasion. I seem to recall I came by it in a weekly trawl through the bargain bins in a second hand record shop in Guildford because the band line up looked good (I think Pino was on it) Lastly - Edited January 18, 2011 by WalMan Quote

untune Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Bit of a departue from their usual sound but I thought this one Quote
risingson Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) I appreciate this might not be everyone's cup of tea, but have a listen if you haven't heard of this guy before. I consider his work to be no less than genius. Edited January 19, 2011 by risingson Quote
Kiwi Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Two Annie Lennox albums 'Bare' and 'Songs of Mass Destruction' fit the criteria for me, plus they make great playalong tunes for fretless. I've been doing a lot of fretless playing recently. Diva is another cracker but less melancholy. Quote
