This thread is for you to share songs that touch you...have some meaning for you.
They may be songs that inspire you to an action, to get involved with a cause, want to make a difference,  or just pick up the phone to reach a friend or loved one. Songs that awaken a memory of some person or event that you treasure. Songs that make you jump around the room or bring a tear of joy, pain or remembrance.
We all have a piece of music that has a place in our hearts.
I'd like to share some of mine with you.
If you would be kind enough to open your heart and share yours, I'd be grateful and very honoured.

I'll start the thread with what I think is a really beautiful song about the horrible disease, Alzheimers. My Grandfather suffered from this curse that slowly takes the person you know and love from you.
I'm not ashamed to tell you that I both cry and smile every time I hear it. I think it's a wonderfully tender and thoughtful observation of an awful disease and is beautifully written and performed.

This song was written by Marianne Sveen and inspired by Marianne's time as a nurse looking after a patient with Alzheimer's. She explained to The Mail On Sunday's You magazine that the lady's past was a mystery, and she seemingly had no family, "but when I put on music for her, she always tapped her feet in time and smiled. I used to invent my own stories about her, hoping that they were close to the truth."

This is "Lady Grey" by Katzenjammer

Lady Grey
Katzenjammer

Lady Grey, you tell a smile
What is your secret, what's your lie?
You lived a long, hard life
Your memory may fade, but you're still wise
I wonder where you've been
What you've accomplished, what you've seen
In such a long, hard life
Did you ever dance, were you someone's wife?

Take me, take me away
Way back to the days when you were
Crazy, crazy for living
Oh, sweet twenty-nine
And you looked fine
You looked fine

Lady Grey, dressed up so nice
Where do you go when you close your eyes?
Do you hear the words I say
And can you remember yesterday?
What do you comprehend?
Can you even feel me in your head?
Lady Grey, with your knockout smile
Hoping you feel it was worth the while

Take me, take me away
Way back to the days when you were
Crazy, crazy for living
Oh sweet twenty-nine
And you looked fine


Lady Grey, no doubt that time
Has withered your hands, but still your smile
Is as sparkling as way back when
You broke the hearts of all young men
Lady Grey, when I see you now
Sick in your bed, but still you smile
When you hear the music play
Wonder how it would be if you could...


Take me, take me away
Way back to the days when you were
Crazy, crazy for living
Oh, sweet twenty-nine
And you looked fine









Katzenjammer are a female four-piece from Oslo, Norway comprising Solveig Heilo, Marianne Sveen, Turid Jørgensen and Anne Marit Bergheim. They took their name from the American cartoon strip The Katzenjammer Kids, which was first created by the German immigrant Rudolph Dirks in 1897 and is still popular in Scandinavia. Dirks was the first cartoonist to express dialogue in comic characters through the use of speech balloons.
The line up has changed since "Lady Grey". Marianne left the band in 2016 to pursue her own projects.

My Uncle died from AIDS (technically, complications from Pneumonia)
He was 5'11" and 200 pounds. Barrel chested like Captain Kirk
I saw him in Hospice when he looked like he only weighed 120 lbs, face gaunt, like death,
going in and out of consciousness. I actually prayed for his death, for his release. Every time I play this song I think of him.
The bad memories first, but then the good ones take over. I remember him as he was. I remember him from my youth.

Not really touches me,  (maybe it does) it just makes sense.  Sorry, but you did ask.

This Woman's Work  --  Kate Bush

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuOvQD1LlHY



Been an admirer of KT for as long as I can remember. Probably because my Dad would play her music nearly all the time.
Her voice, I think, is amazing. Haunting and soulful, joyous and lifting. It's an instrument she plays consummately.
This song is one of my favourites. I can't tell you why. It just saddens and makes me happy at the same time. I love it.
