    "Against All Odds" - Phil Collins.
    
    The full emotion of this song is brought home when seeing the film.
    I can still see the scene, there she is, there he is (sniff) - never
    to contact eachother again. Then the piano starts up...

173.6Spec of sentiment in my eye ... honestPUGH::JANEI can't think of a good oneTue Aug 23 1988 19:5616
	I'll agree with most the of the ones mentioned - especially Phil Collins

	The Streisand flowers thing was with Neil diamond tho' I think ...

	Another BS favourite is from "A Star is Born" near the end
	whe she sings "Are you watching me now ...." as the crowd hold
	matches/lighters  etc cos Chris Thingy has died... sniff sniff

	From the Paul Simon Song Book - "Side of a Hill" very
	weepy about a small dead child ... and a little cloud weeps
	on the side of a hill .... mush city

	Thin Lizzy - "got to give it up" - wish PL had - he might still be
	here crooning good tunes :-(

	and ... and... and .... lots of soppy songs

    > the part Suppers Ready after apocalypse in 9/8
    "As Sure as Eggs is Eggs (Aching Men's Feet)", perhaps?

    For me, there is...

	"Sacrificial Bonfire" - XTC
	"Supper's Ready" - Genesis
		(the last movement in particular - the "Can't you feel our
		souls ignite?" part; I think that -is- "As Sure as Eggs...",
		actually...)
	"It Doesn't Matter" - Depeche Mode
	The second side of "Before and After Science" - Brian Eno
	"Hello, Earth" - Kate Bush

    All I can think of now...

    Anouther vote for Family Snapshot and don't forget The Humdrum (sp?)
    the live version is a killer.
    
    Jez
    
173.16.............sniff...........WELMTS::GREENBgiant land crabs in earth takeover bidWed Aug 24 1988 13:3313
      Another vote for Biko - apparently PG cant hold back the tears when
    he sings it, too. He seems to have the ability to produce this feeling
    of being overwhelmed in a lot of his music (Family Snapshot is another)
    and it was something Genesis lost as soon as he left them.
      Roy Harper has done one or two good snifflemakers in his time, too.
    Hallucinating Light off HQ is one, Goodbye off Flat Baroque and berserk
    is another
      A vote too for Breathing, by Kate Bush, featuring Roy Harper on
    backing vocals towards the end (what are we going to do)
      And Wuthering Heights - that guitar at the end is beautiful

173.24an answer, a couple more listedHAZEL::STARRYou ain't nothin' but fine, fine, fine!Wed Aug 24 1988 21:3516
"Seasons in the Sun" was by Terri Jacks 

A couple more from me, while I'm in here:

 - "Famous Final Scene" - Bob Seger
 - "Have You Ever Loved a Woman" - EC (as Derek and the Dominoes)
 - "One More Night" - Dave Edmunds (obscure, but great - off of DE7 LP)
 - "Cause We've Ended As Lovers" - Jeff Beck (and there aren't even any words!)
 - and there is a song from the 'Dreamgirls' soundtrack (last song at the end 
   of the first act - can't remember the title) that will send shivers down
   my spine whenver I hear it

A pretty small list. A song has to be pretty special to evoke deep feeling
from me.

    It's not an un-cheerful song at all, in fact if anything, I feel

    How aboout two by Billy Bragg:
                                  `Don't walk away Rene'
                                  `Between the Wars'
    
    
    Thanks to little Nigel, an ex-flatmate, who always used to play
    them whenever I got depressed! Now every time I hear them they remind
    me of being depressed, and make me.........depressed!;-)!
