That song that grabbed you and wouldn't let go

[cowboyec]

this song just won't let me go.
wish Elvis had covered it.

S'OK Runny, I have more than one as well.

There are also instrumentals that do that to me and cause me to wonder 'why have those notes not been arranged like that before to evoke such emotion'?




And to this day, I cannot listen to this without tears coming into my eyes and I do not know why? That melody line just does it to me.

Theme From Summer Place

I am sorry and promise not to start any more music threads, this seemed like a good idea at the time. Which, by the way, was my standard response to my father when asked "what were you thinking"?

 

[cowboyec]

never gets old.

Yeah, my second thought was, "Oh, he knows better than that!"

Somewhere Over the Rainbow. That to me is what all humans should be striving for. The dreams we hold and the possibilities within those dreams.

This is my current "can't quit listening to" song. I've never posted a video here, so I don't know if I did it right.
