The song is "Forever Young" by Alphaville.

Same song, but a different artist, for the high school Prom scene in "Napoleon Dynamite".

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:

Chas.

And from the guy who composed that rendition of it, with the "my chains are gone" piece:


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.

Thank you for that, Bill. That was special. I haven't heard Leo Kottke's version of that song in a very long time.

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.

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.
I agree, and I would chalk it up partly to talent, but more impotantly to the authenticity of the man.

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.
