Andrea Bocelli's "Time to Say Goodbye" was played here on New Years Eve in the final minutes of the old year! A display of computer controlled fireworks was magically timed and harmonized to beautifully support the touching melody of this song! I'm not ashamed to say my tears applauded this melody through the entire song!

I'm not ashamed to say my tears applauded this melody through the entire song! That was a beautiful song, Anna. It brought tears to my eyes and I don't even speak the language it was in. I love so many songs, I couldn't possibly pick one favorate.

How lovely. My favorite Stan Rogers song
Stan Rogers Lock Keeper Lyrics: [There is an extensive system of locks along the St. Lawrence Seaway. The locks have a marvellous history. It's a pity they couldn't speak half the tales they've been privy to. I guess it probably goes without saying that everyone who has to travel to make a living will relate to the parallels in this song. Stan loved the road and performing was life's-blood, but he wanted very badly to be the lock-keeper.]
You say, "Well-met again, Lock-keeper! We're laden even deeper that the time before, Oriental oils and tea brought down from Singapore." As we wait for my lock to cycle I say, "My wife has given me a son." "A son!" you cry, "Is that all that you've done?" She wears bougainvilla blossoms. You pluck 'em from her hair and toss 'em in the tide, Sweep her in your arms and carry her inside. Her sighs catch on your shoulder; Her moonlit eyes grow bold and wiser through her tears And I say, "How could you stand to leave her for a year?" "Then come with me" you say, "to where the Southern Cross Rides high upon your shoulder." "Come with me!" you cry, "Each day you tend this lock, you're one day older, While your blood runs colder." But that anchor chain's a fetter And with it you are tethered to the foam, And I wouldn't trade your life for one hour of home. Sure I'm stuck here on the Seaway While you compensate for leeway through the Trades; And you shoot the stars to see the miles you've made. And you laugh at hearts you've riven, But which of these has given us more love of life, You, your tropic maids, or me, my wife. "Then come with me" you say, "to where the Southern Cross Rides high upon your shoulder." "Ah come with me!" you cry, "Each day you tend this lock, you're one day older, While your blood runs colder." But that anchor chain's a fetter And with it you are tethered to the foam, And I wouldn't trade your life for one hour of home. Ah your anchor chain's a fetter And with it you are tethered to the foam, And I wouldn't trade your whole life for just one hour of home

This one always makes me smile and fills me with joy but, I have to say my favourite song depends on my mood at the time or the mood I am trying to invoke ;D

That universal message of the futility of the human condition, combined with a catchy melody does it for me every time. See also "We're All Going to Die" by Malcolm Middleton, which is a similar sort of a theme. Also "Do you Realize" by the Flaming Lips. I like really cheery songs about the futility and randomness of life with its inevitable end.

I like really cheery songs about the futility and randomness of life with its inevitable end. And I thought you were an old punkette I tend to listen to music from the last five years. After about five years I wear out my favourite tunes; they become over-familiar and I only really want to listen to them once every 2 or 3 years. But my 'best' era of music was definitely from about 1978 - 1987 or so - basically from starting secondary school to finishing my degree, before I had to do stuff like work and have children. And the music I listened to then was all the usual suspects - SLF, Undertones, Damned, Echo & Bunnymen, Dead Kennedys (I loved them!!!), early Cure, early Killing Joke, Angelic Upstarts, The Ruts, Sex Pistols, etc. etc. etc. My favourite NOW bands are Glasvegas, the Killers & Kings of Leon - not so punky really. A bit commercial. And my all time favourite ever over any era is Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.

I only like the Dks with Jello - not even bothered with their new tours.
Have seen Damned, UK Subs, Dickies, Jello, Mudhoney and some others that will no doubt occur to me in the middle of the night.
I like a bit of everything - it's probably much easier to talk about what I don't like.

I think people get more "mainstream" as they get older...or they retreat back to the good old days. The last Band I discovered was "British Sea Power" a few years ago...I love their sounds. British Sea Power - CarrionMy soul, she cried, I thought you'd died Amid fumes of formaldehydeAH
