Nothwithstanding Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel had the most meaningful, thoughtful, genius lyrics. :BigApplause:

I hear that train acomin'
it's comin' round the bend,
and I ain't seen the sunshine
since....I don't know when...

Hunky Dude, my company's gone...

A great song and an even more important life question.

Tim McGraw's "My Best Friend". After having to put my 13 year old lab to sleep, I got into the car and this song came on the radio. I couldn't drive for an hour.

Clarence Carter "Patches". I was going through air traffic controller school at Ft. Rucker, Alabama in the summer of 1970 and on the weekends we all would go down to Panama City Beach. That was a 2 hour drive and as soon as we could pick up an AM radio station from the beach I would listen for Patches.

Here are three songs that will make you think a litttle, especially if you relate to them like I do.

1. Cat's In The Cradle - Harry Chapin (1974)
2. Don't Cry Daddy - Elvis Presley (1969)
3. Daddy, Don't You Walk So Fast - Wayne Newton (1972)

Ha! Maybe we need a thread for misunderstood song lyrics.

Off topic, I guess, but this reminds me of the kindergarten teacher who had her pupils drawing pictures based on “Silent Night” just before Christmas (back in the day…). One little guy managed a pretty literal picture of Joseph, Mary, Baby Jesus, Three Wise Men, and various animals. However, in one corner he had drawn a short, fat man watching Joseph, Mary, and Baby Jesus. “Who is that supposed to be?” the teacher asked the little boy. He responded, a little indignant, “Don’t you know? That’s Round John Virgin!”

(Uh oh, what am I doing here?)

I will try to put the link for you. Although, the only thing I find sad about this song is that it was a hit.:sing:

LMAO!! I assume you know that it's "Four hungry children and a crop in the field".

Every single song mentioned above is wonderfully sad and filled with emotion.....

Also:
September Song or "Autumn Leaves Drift By My Window".............

Actually it's "Four hongry children and a crop in the field." Ignore the misspelling; this is country music!

Lots of good ones here. Elvis "Old Shep" and George Jones "He Stopped Loving Her Today" among the all-time best.
You might give a listen to Dolly Parton doing "Me and Little Andy" and Sarah Brightman's "The First of May."
Play these four songs in a row and ruin your whole evening.
Walt.
