Been my favorite song for going on five decades, Gulf of Tonkin ect notwithstanding. Not sure if it touches my soul but it definitely does something.

I know music is a personal thing but Freed Fox you and I have very similar tastes.

I've often said that Massive Attack's "Mezzanine" is probably the best album to get busy to of all time.
And I've always considered Sufjan Steven's "Come on feel the Illinoise" one of the greatest unknown albums of all time.


Here is one of my favorite unknown albums of all time.

I love this song very much. Those pure, soaring prose-like lyrics, the fairground-evoking musical rhythm, that powerful piano... ".... high on the wine of life...... high on the wine of life....."

"Man gets tired
spirit don't
man surrenders
spirit won't
man crawls
spirit flies
spirit lives when man dies

man seems
spirit is
man dreams
spirit lives
man is tethered
spirit is free
what spirit is man can be

now we tread the fresh fields,
the higher grounds and the summer slopes
that man may someday climb on
now we tread the fresh fields
the higher ground and the summer slopes
that man may someday climb on
we're on the heels of Rimbaud
we are in the swing
chandelier-like dancing
and we feel everything
high on the wine of life
high on the wine of life
untethered and free
untethered and free
what spirit is man can be."

Too Close to Heaven.

"All your trouble will be over, so will your pain
You are gonna see those blue skies bursting right through the rain
The higher you climb, the lower you fall
You got too close to heaven, that's all

Now in the morning you can cry all you want to
We'll spend the whole day weeping
Right now I want you to lay down your weary head
And let me see you sleeping

You've been walking around baby, inflamed and ashamed
Feeling like you're one inch tall
You got too close to heaven, that's all

You're way too hard on yourself baby
You got some pretty basic things wrong
You wouldn't believe me if I told you why I wrote you into this song
You're looking at your heart baby, and you're calling it black
But like Icarus and like Saul
You got too close to heaven, that's all
Now I know this hurt you're feeling - I've felt these same things too

I've got spaces way down deep inside of me that are just the same as you
You wanna wrap your arms around your head, turn out the lights
And roll yourself into a ball
You got too close to heaven, that's all

Are you blinded by the brilliance?
Are you dazzled by the Light?
Why is it I see nothing but emptiness in your tired beaten eyes
That once were bright

I know you just can't help but run when you hear that sweet voice call
You got too close to heaven, that's all
I walked a mile for you baby
So won't you smile for me baby?"

This is the music that my soul hears over and over again as I move through multiple incarnations desperate to touch your love again.

At the end of every life I hear this same melody as I wait for the warm embrace of death to touch my soul, as I take my last human breath I feel the small tear welling in the corner of my eye.

I'm not sure I am posting this in the right place, as in, I'm not sure it touched my soul.... but it sure as hell touched me to the extent I ended up bawling my eyes out like a child.

My son had learning difficulties, he was slow to speak, to make a sound. He went to school and the 'educators' told me he struggled.
"Thanks". I knew that already (sigh)
I had hoped for more.

One day he came to me and said "Dad, I want you to listen to this." and then added, "It's how I feel sometimes...."

I think you will understand why I ended up crying like a babe.

One hundred percent this song, admittedly the video also makes it perfect to my soul.

I've posted this music video before on the 'Best 3 Songs of your Life' thread.
It not just the song, it's the video for me too. The rotation of Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush is perfectly tuned to the song words.
Also every time Kate Bush gives a hug (eg 2.20 marker onwards), the hug & the song words is so heart felt.

LYRICS

When they poured across the border
I was cautioned to surrender,
this I could not do;
I took my gun and vanished.

I have changed my name so often,
I've lost my wife and children
but I have many friends,
and some of them are with me.

An old woman gave us shelter,
Kept us hidden in the garret,
then the soldiers came;
she died without a whisper.

There were three of us this morning
I'm the only one this evening
but I must go on;
the frontiers are my prison.

Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
through the graves the wind is blowing,
freedom soon will come;
then we'll come from the shadows.

Written during the 1982 Falklands War, "Brothers in Arms" deals with the senselessness of war. In 2007, the 25th anniversary of the war, Knopfler recorded a new version of the song at Abbey Road Studios to raise funds for British veterans who he said "are still suffering from the effects of that conflict"

Lyrics:
These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Someday you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn to be
Brothers in arms

Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I've witnessed your suffering
As the battle raged high
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

Now the sun's gone to hell and
The moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line in your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms
