It's a whole ballet but it's very moving. Prokofiev's "Cinderella". Best heard played by Russians, they seem to have a better feeling for it.

 

In a jazzier vein there is Grover Washington's "Winelight". A good thing to play if you're feeling a bit under.

Is that the same song that Take 6 did back in `98? Starts out with "A day is coming, and it won't be long. I'll fly away to my home." I agree, an uplifting song for a funeral, or for someone who's terminally ill. Take 6 did a song with a similar theme on their live CD. It's called "Over The Hill Is Home". Good stuff- touching, but relevant. :thu:

 

Peace all,

Songs that touch me... great topic. Here's a mix...

 

Sinnerman (Nina Simone)

Moonlight Sonata

Prelude in Emin, #4 (Chopin)

Prelude in Cmin, #20 (Chopin)

Tears In Heaven (Clapton)

Blue Spanish Sky (Chris Isaak)

I Will Love You (Fisher)

Fragile (Sting)

Un-Break My Heart (Toni Braxton)

Love Is Blindness (U2)

 

... and special mention goes to "Butterfly Kisses" by Bob Carlisle (sp?). It's got a certain cheese factor to it, but someone gave me the CD when my daughter was born two years ago and that song will get me EVERY time, guaranteed.

Songs that touch me emotionally.....

In this category I am very weak for Sting. (My favorite songwriter, he has his own unique style. Great lyrics, exiting music, well combined. He is the master!)

 

Sting:

-Seven Days

-Fields of gold

-It´s probably me

-Shape of my heart

-Fragile

-They dance alone

-All this time

-Why should I cry for you

-Russians

-Childrens crusade

-If i ever lose my faith in you

.... and the Sting list goes on....

 

Some songs by others artists

-Separate lives - Phil Collins version

-D´sound - Tattooed on my mind

-Don´t give up - Peter Gabriel

-Al Jarreau - We´re in this love together

-Just once, & One hundred ways from Quincy Jones "the dude"

-Mr.Mister - Broken Wings

-Circle of life, & Can you feel the love tonight - E.John from "The Lion King" movie

-and some scandinavian song in our language by Anne Grete Preus, Elle Melle & Bo kaspers orkester

& some Stevie Wonder songs...

 

Some instrumental music:

-Have you hard & Letter from home - Pat Methaney

-Septembro (Brazillian wedding song) from Quincy Jones "back on the block"

-Die Moldau - Smetana

-Carmina Burana: "O Fortuna"- Carl Orff

I'm a fan of Ivan Lins also. I had "Comecar de Novo" on my list on this topic months ago. "Love Dance" was one redeeming moment from the time in Ivan's career when Warner Bros. tried to turn him into the next Michael Franks. Have you heard the version of "Love Dance" on Terrance Blanchard's "The Heart Speaks"? It's a beautiful record of Lins' material with him on a couple tracks.

Being a strong U2 fan, I must add one of their great, but often overlooked song: Sunday Bloody Sunday. It is kind of sad (couldn't think of a better word) to listen to it now, even though I wasn't even alive during the Bloody Sunday. As for classical:

Liebestraume (I'm sure that's the worst spelling ever...) by Liszt

The "Pathetique" Sonata by Beethoven (of course)

3rd Movement of Moonlight Sonata

Fantasie Impromptu by Chopin

Pachabel's Canon in D

just to mention a few...

"Bach is ever new"-Glenn Gould
