Bettyblue. I love Back for Good but I wouldn't call it a tearjerker. Does it have some special meaning for you? Hope you don't mind me asking.

Have you heard the Decemberists' recent song "Sleepless" (on a compilation called Dark Was the Night)? Another one that totally tugs at the heartstrings... wonderful.

Oh...I haven't heard it. I will check it out. We just got tix for their show though and I am sooooo excited. Elbow may never come to Seattle, but that doesn't mean we can't have a few good shows!

Thank you...how funny that The Decemberists have infiltrated the Elbow room. Both bands have some of the best songwriting I have ever heard...since...uh, Peter Murphy IMHO.

The last two songs that actually made me cry were Some Riot and Red for some reason.

Soundtrack:
Gabrielles Song from As it is in heaven. Just watched the movie (again) and cried (again) at this scene.
Her voice is amacing.

I went to see The Imagined Village on Monday - brilliant they were too, but one of the highlights of the evening for me was Chris Wood's solo performance of this song, a tribute to Brazilian electrician Jean Charles de Menezes, who was wrongly shot by the police:



It's the second time I've seen him sing it and it moves me so much I thought I'd share it.

It's from Grönemeyer... The German singer.
I really love this song. Get's me goosebumps everytime.



Thanks to the internet - here's the translation:

Hold me
Take my dreams at face value
Revel in fantasies
Got caught inside of you
Don't know what happens to me
Warm myself with your voice
Lay myself to rest in your arms
Hold me, just a little
Until I can sleep

I feel secure with you
I bank my heart on you
Want to cherish every moment
Duration eternally
Leaning on you is easy
Totally submissive to you
I find consolation in you

I'm beside myself out of joy
Want to drown slowly with you
Headlessly, carefree, weightlessly getting lost in you
Cover me with tenderness
Take me by storm, the night is short
Peacefully, love-stricken, overwhelmed by you
It's good that you exist

Come tell me something
Talk to me
I want to listen to you until I am repleted
Always want to be with you
Refuel me with life
Let me stay in your arms
