#15 the Earl of Aikenberry: a man of character and Naughty by Nature

[Guest Toots]

Although I'm not a big fan of country music, I like some songs. Till I can Make It On My Own, sung by Martina McBride and Travelin Soldier by the Dixie Chicks are two sad songs but not FD.

Fields of Gold sung by Eva Cassidy, FD because she died at a very young age. I used to be a Dawson's Creek fan and they used that song when Jen died. Hey, I loved that show!!

[Bookwhore]

I've been thinking about sad songs. Who cares that I should be working? Some of these are sad sad, some are f'ing depressing sad, and some are LMAO sad. Only one has ever made me cry every.time.i.hear.it.

The End of the World

Last Kiss

Teen Angel

Send in the Clowns

Alone Again, Naturally

**Crying

**I'm Not in Love

**How Do I Live Without You

**I Am A Rock

Cat's In The Cradle

**Total Eclipse of the Heart

All By Myself

**Broken Vow

**Against All Odds

The ** designates songs that, although sad, I love. HDILWY makes me bawl like a baby every time. The rest of them just make me LMAO.

I think pages and pages of what did I miss is going to be worse than having the photoshop. IMO

So should I put it back then? Sheesh it's hard trying to please everybody.

Yes. Even though I'm not a photoshop fan, the suspense of what I missed is driving me nuts.

This place is a fricking freight train, by the time you get it back in everyone will have moved on.

[YSRN]

Aww, lookit all the furbabies! I love them. Thanks gran, er lilyshines for starting that!

Waldo is Huge!!!

What? I just wanted to say that.

I do think it says something about me that the saddest sobbiest movie I ever saw was My Dog Skip! LOL!

Cindilu, set me up with that song... I edited my post before to tell you I'd listen to it, but it probably got lost in the shuffle. I wanna test my cold, shriveled up heart. Hee.

Ahhh, TOS... gotcha.

Awww....

I have this album. Heh. Love the whole thing.

eta....

So did you like the ones I posted? hee.... I like the pose of the second one, CMSU!

Oh, Lawdy! Wildfire?!?!?! What memories that song brings! woo.

Well, if you MUST know, I'm referring to my college boyfriend who I thought would somehow still find his way back to me years after we stopped seeing each other. I really thought he was.the.one. Six feet, four inches tall, dark hair, big brown eyes and a silly laugh that always made me want to jump him. He wore jeans and tee shirts with sports jackets and sneakers and just knocked my socks (and other articles of clothing) off! And that song was really popular then and one night I was at the house he shared with two buddies, waiting for him to get back from Christmas break and I was lying on the sofa, eyes closed, with headphones on and Wildfire was playing and I was wailing along and the next thing I knew my man was on top of me kissing the sh...stuff out of me and....

Truly, I chose the wrong profession...and if it seems like I'm changing topics every few minutes, it's because I'm back teaching the 4 yr olds again and my attention span needs to recycle every ten minutes or my head explodes.

Sounds like time for "Fun with Photobucket!" WHEEEE!

ELMO!

HORSIE!

BUBBLES!

=================================================================

Sign. I'm going to have to admit to getting teary over "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald", aren't I?

[wandacleo]

OMG, I hate those tearjerker songs that leave me sobbing with imaginary grief--things like that godawful "Butterfly kisses.

I hate Hallmark too. I cry through every damn commercial.

If I can sit here tearing up over Wildfire (and in an odd way, over muski's - you have to confess to EVERYTHING!

Oooo - I forgot about Against All Odds!

HA HA! We are all little mushy people inside!

[muskifest]

muski's - you have to confess to EVERYTHING!

Oh, honey.

You should hear what I'm NOT sharing.....

[jumpingjacks]

Well, I love Bobby Goldsboro's "Honey"...sniff.

And, of course, at the top of my list is "Billy Don't Be a Hero" and "Seasons in the Sun"....

[duckyvee]

Oh, they say she died one winter

When there came a killing frost

And the pony she named Wildfire

Busted down its stall

In a blizzard he was lost

She ran callin' Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiildfire...

Yes, I love me some Wildfire too. Hey! I like the treacle on occasion!

Treacle . Yep. Sad in that calculated way that the movie Beaches is sad. OK, I'll admit to crying buckets at that movie every time I saw it. I'm sure I will cry if I see it again. Sentimental usually neurtalizes the sad for me. It does something to the credibility, tears aside.

Truly FD - 9 Crimes by Damien Rice. I'm sure there are more depressing songs than that one, but it's the first one that comes to mind.

Or a certain chorus in Summersong by The Decemberists that made Bookwhore want to drive off a bridge, figuratively speaking, of course. (For you, Bookwhore ) . Truly, not depressing, though.

Sad songs...hmmm...first songs that come to mind are country songs. "Hat Full Of Rain" by Ty Herndon and "It Turns Me Inside Out" by Lee Greenwood still get to me after all those years.

[KAndre]

Man, I need some screencaps from the BBC's Beau Brummel...

Warning, ducky has a dark side. Very, very dark. She's the queen of gloom & doom songs. To her, this is a happy song:

Waylay the din of the day

Boats bobbing in the blue of the bay

In deep far beneath all the dead sailors

Slowly slipping to sleep

WTF is that about?

Oh boy, HANDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lilyshine]

How sad is it that of the 50 or 60 songs mentioned in the last few pages, I recgonize only a handful and know the words to maybe three.

I warned you I know nothings about pop music - but yeah, maybe that's not a bad thing!

YSRN, we can be heartless bitches together. I almost never cry at anything anymore - let alone sappy lyrics.

Music can move me, just not to tears.

ETA. Farouche - I right-clicked on that sucker so fast. Now that I can get into.

Now, that's not fair, Bookwhore. Sure, if you take that out of context it's a bit unpleasant, but it's just a metaphor. What about this sequence in the same song?

My girl, linen and curls

Lips parting like a flag all unfurled

She's grand the bend of her hand

Digging deep into the sweep of the sand

Very sweet. Don't you think?

[merrieeee]

Oh farouche what a great pic. You can even see the hand stitching around the edge of a very expensive jacket

[KAndre]

SHRIEK!

I frickin' LOVE Busch Gardens! They found my frickin' phone!

Of course, I bought a new one that same day but YAY!

[Bookwhore]

Nice picture. Is there perhaps a new chapter somewhere to go along with it?

j/k. Welcome to FCA! :F_05BL17blowkiss:

KAndre, congratulations on the found phone. How long did it take them to find it?

[laughn]

hee. I knew Wildfire would get YSRN. I have one song I cry over, and only one, (It's that one about getting mommy shoes at Christmas *sigh*) I'm even immune to Wildfire....but I start loosing my shit at the opening credits of Old Yellow, and I think Bambi is an evil visited on young children.
