    You're welcome. That song makes me appreciate everything I have learned, and also to look forward to what I have not experienced in life yet.

    I don't even know the title or artist of this song, but the song that comes on the dog shelter commercials "in the eyes of an angel", and they show all the wounded puppies and kittens.

    I think that's exclusively Sarah McLachlan. Or that's what South Park has lead me to believe.

    I had mentioned "Don't take the girl" earlier. Even thinking of this song makes me well up.
    I almost lost my wife to blood loss when my Son was born and I can remember begging and praying to not let her die.
    It was the most helpless feeling I ever had.

    A close second is "Who you'd be today."
    It is a song about "someone" who apperantly passed away at a young age and Kenny wondering who that person woul dhave been had she grown up.

    It makes me think of my cousin who died at the age of 19 way back in 1983.

    IMHO - the Jeff Buckley version of Hallelujah is the best - closely followed by K.D. Lang. Nobody else should be allowed to sing it.
    What about Leonard Cohen himself?

    P.S. Buckley's version is definitive but I've never really thought of that song as sad...more revelatory.

    That's what I was about to post! But I agree, Buckley's version is better. And sad in some ways because his voice is so beautiful and it's so sad that he died so young...

    I would add "The River" by Bruce Springsteen. Sometimes my husband has to tell me to lay off the Springsteen because I get too depressed listening to that song and a few others. "Walk Like a Man" comes to mind...

    There is a Light That Never Goes Out - The Smiths
    Everybody Hurts - R.E.M.
    Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd


    And particularly, Fire & Rain by James Taylor:

    "Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
    Suzanne 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"

    My mom died suddenly 5 years ago at the age of 52. Shocked our family to the core and it almost killed my brother and I. Her name was Suzanne, like in the song
