It's my party and I'll cry if I want to!!!

Yes, I confess I have a heart... and there are songs that make me cry...


"HELLO IT'S ME" by LOU REED & JOHN CALE
This song for example is so tragic and intimate... I can't help feeling nostalgic and shed a tear almost each time I hear it... Lou Reed's voice is loaded with emotion.

"TORN CURTAIN" by TELEVISON
A pop drama... This song has a very classical feeling despite a root production. It is the song that kills me these days. Hopefully they did not play it when I saw them in Paris a few weeks ago...

"SEA DIVER" by MOTT THE HOOPLE
A "rock'n roll suicide" with piano... the voice is not perfect, Bowie should have sung it... still it is wonderfull and reminds me of bygone love... Ride on, my son, ride until you fail...

Ryan Adams - Cry on Demand.

The song title is asking for it.

By the way! I saw Julien yesterday, and we listenned to your latest opus. I could not focus well on it because you may know Julien's singular habit to turn the bass to the lower level and the treble to 11! (could be the theme a psychological thesis). Gotta listen to it in private and with earphones. I will make a copy of it saturday (If you don't mind). Was surprised by the "Nadine" rendition and the end with psycho piano! If you can mail me the tracklisting that would be help.
Thanks.

I add:

"The Children of Rarn Suite" - T-Rex:
Christ, the last part when he goes back to the main theme... It's bouleversant! And here come the violins... and tears.

"These Foolish Things" (Marvell,Strachey,Link)- Bryan Ferry:
This version is by far the best I heard (sorry Sinatra, you're beaten)

Oh will you never let me be?
Oh will you never set me free?
The ties that bound us are still around us
There's no escape that I can see
And still those little things remain
That bring me happiness or pain
A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant
A fairground's painted swings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
You came, you saw, you conquered me
When you did that to me, I somehow knew that this had to be
The winds of March that make my heart a dancer
A telephone that rings - but who's to answer?
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
Gardenia perfume ling'ring on a pillow
Wild strawb'ries only seven francs a kilo
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
The park at evening when the bell has sounded
The Isle de France with all the girls around it
The beauty that is Spring
These foolish things
Remind me of you
I know that this was bound to be
These things have haunted me
For you've entirely enchanted me
The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations
Silk stockings thrown aside, dance invitations
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
First daffodils and long excited cables
And candlelight on little corner tables
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
The smile of Garbo and the scent of roses
The waiters whistling as the last bar closes
The song that Crosby sings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
How strange, how sweet to find you still
These things are dear to me
That seem to bring you so near to me
The scent of smould'ring leaves, the wail of steamers
Two lovers on the street who walk like dreamers
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things
Remind me of you, just you...

Here I go, just reading these lines strangle me...

Oh, a propos Ferry...
On his latest album lies a pearl...

"I thought" co-written with Brian Eno!

I thought - you'd be my streetcar named desire
My way - my taste of wine
I thought - you'd be that flame within the fire
One dream that just won't die
All night - looking for new love
Impossible true love - nothing at all
Looking for new gods - looking for new blood
Looking for you
I thought - I'd find you walking in the rain
Just like a wayward child
I thought - I'd find you calling out my name
So foolish is my pride
All night - looking for new love
Impossible true love - nothing at all
Looking for new ways - looking for strange blood
Looking for you
I thought - I'd be your streetcar named desire
Your man - the one you seek
I thought - I'd take you deep within myself
Subtitles when we speak
Hold on - the flower says reach out
The thunder says no shout is greater than mine
Listen and hold on - till the day fades out
Smothered in gold

Oh, I keep on, don't mind if nobody cares. I do!

Marc Almond made a stunning cover of this Charles Aznavour daring song "Comme ils disent"
It turned into "What makes a Man" The translation is slightly different, and in my opinion more subtle... And the song sounds much better in English especially when sung by Almond... as usual...

My mum and I we live alone
A great apartment is our home
In Fairhome Towers
I have to keep me company
Two dogs, a cat, a parakeet
Some plants and flowers
I help my mother with the chores
I wash, she dries, I do the floors
We work together
I shop and cook and sew a bit
Though mum does too I must admit
I do it better
At night I work in a strange bar
Impersonating every star
I'm quite deceiving
The customers come in with doubt
And wonder what I'm all about
But leave believing
I do a very special show
Where I am nude from head to toe
After stripteasing
Each night the men look so surprised
I change my sex before their eyes
Tell me if you can
What makes a man a man

At 3 o'clock or so I meet
With friends to have a bite to eat
And conversation
We love to empty out our hearts
With every subject from the arts
To liberation
We love to pull apart someone
And spread some gossip just for fun
Or start a rumour
We let our hair down, so to speak
And mock ourselves with tongue-in-cheek
And inside humour
So many times we have to pay
For having fun and being gay
It's not amusing
There's always those that spoil our games
By finding fault and calling names
Always accusing
They draw attention to themselves
At the expense of someone else
It's so confusing
Yet they make fun of how I talk
And imitate the way I walk
Tell me if you can
What makes a man a man

My masquerade comes to an end
And I go home to bed again
Alone and friendless
I close my eyes, I think of him
I fantasise what might have been
My dreams are endless
We love each other but it seems
The love is only in my dreams
It's so one sided
But in this life I must confess
The search for love and hapiness
Is unrequited
I ask myself what I have got
Of what I am and what I'm not
What have I given
The answers come from those who make
The rules that some of us must break
Just to keep living
I know my life is not a crime
I'm just a victim of my time
I stand defenceless
Nobody has the right to be
The judge of what is right for me
Tell me if you can
What make a man a man

Tell me if you can
Tell me if you can
Tell me if you can
What makes a man a man

You can find the main theme on T-REX (1971) but the whole "Children of Rarn Suite" is available on a sort of best-of called "marc bolan.. something..." take a look on the net.

this song:

If I get old, I will not give in
But if I do, remind me of this.
Remind me that, once I was free,
Once I was cool, once I was me.

And if I sat down, and crossed my arms,
Hold me into, this song.

Knock me out, smash out my brains,
If I take a chair, start to talk shit.....

If I get old, remind me of this:
That night we kissed, and I really meant it.

Whatever happens, if we’re still speaking.
Pick up the phone, play me this song.

Fire and Rain by James Taylor Always Brings a Tear to my Eye



Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Susanne the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

So look down upon me, Jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
And I won't make it any other way

woh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

I’ve been walking my mind to an easy time
My back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it’ll turn your head around
Well, there’s hours of time on the telephone line
To talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground.

woh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you, baby, one more time again, now

Thought I'd see you one more time again
There's just a few things coming my way this time around, now
Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you fire and rain, now

I would also say Imagine by John Lennon and Peace Train by Cat Stephens... those optimistic songs that talk about peace.

Going more into total cheeze... "I'd like to buy the world a coke"

I guess Swing Low, Sweet Chariot and when The Saints Come Marching in, too.

ok maybe I am a little meloncholy... but I really like the Rainbow Connection by Kermit The Frog. It's the hook that makes me cry.

RAINBOW CONNECTION
Kermit the Frog

Why are there so many
Songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side
Rainbow's are visions
They're only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told and some chose to
Believe it
But I know they're wrong wait and see

Someday we'll find it
The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

Who said that every wish
Would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star
Somebody thought of that
And someone believed it
And look what it's done so far
What's so amazing
That keeps us star gazing
What so we think we might see

Someday we'll find it
That Rainbow Connection
The lovers the dreamers and me

Have you been half asleep
And have you heard voices
I've heard them calling my name
Are these the sweet sounds that called
The young sailors
I think they're one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
There's something that I'm supposed to be

Someday we'll find it
The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
