Re: One song that "speaks" to you
I just ran across this one this morning, and it’s one of the most hauntingly beautiful things I’ve heard all year long:

And from the guy who composed that rendition of it, with the "my chains are gone" piece:Charles L. Cotton wrote:I've heard this hymn song by dozens of people and choirs. This is one of the best!
Chas.
The worship pastor I play for, David Parker, was Chris Tomlin's roommate at Texas A&M. Dave told me the other day, "Chris can't play but about 4 or 5 chords, but he knows how to put them together into amazing worship songs." I thought that was pretty funny.

Re: One song that "speaks" to you
Thank you for that, Bill. That was special. I haven't heard Leo Kottke's version of that song in a very long time.WildBill wrote:A man gives thanks to an old girlfriend who dumped him for a guy who drove a pick-up truck.
The song, written by Tom T. Hall, is performed by Leo Kottke - "Pamela Brown"

Re: One song that "speaks" to you
I used to sing that song all the time.........while I was going to A&M (late 1970s). Must be something in the water down there. Your grandfather sounds like he was a prince.74novaman wrote:...but his favorite song to sing a few lines from was "Hey, Good lookin" by Hank Williams Sr. Every single time I hear the song I think of my grandfather. I miss him every day.
Clearly, your pawpaw was grafted onto the Vine and producing good fruit.15 “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? 17 So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 So then, you will know them by their fruits.
Matthew 7:15-20

Re: One song that "speaks" to you
I agree, and I would chalk it up partly to talent, but more impotantly to the authenticity of the man.Dave2 wrote:It really is amazing how much better Johnny Cash's cover is compared to Nine Inch Nails' original, isn't it. I can't think of any other cover that so clearly shows how the original should've been done.The Annoyed Man wrote:"Hurt" performed by Johnny Cash.

Re: One song that "speaks" to you
I'm a singer and guitar player, so it is hard to limit it to just one song.
"Amazing Grace" played on the bagpipes.
"Hurt" performed by Johnny Cash.

Mumford & Sons "Little Lion Man"
There are many others, but these are just a few I love.
