mreye Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 "That's My Job" by Conway Twitty gets me everytime! I woke up crying late at night when I was very young. I had dreamed my father had passed away and gone. My world revolved around him I couldnt lay there anymore. So I made my way down the mirrored hall and tapped upon his door. And I said "Daddy, I'm so afraid how will I go on with you gone that way? Don't wanna cry anymore so may I stay with you?" And he said "That's my job, that's what I do. Everything I do is because of you, To keep you safe with me. That's my job you see." Later we barely got along this teenage boy and he. Most of the fights it seems were over different dreams, we each held for me. He wanted knowledge and learning. I wanted to fly out west. Said, "I could make it out there if I just had the fare. I got half, will you loan me the rest?" And I said "Daddy, I'm so afraid, there's no guarantee in the plans I've made and if I should fail, who will pay my way back home?" And he said "That's my job that's what I do. Everything I do is because of you to keep you safe with me. That's my job you see." Every person carves his spot and fills the hole with light. And I pray someday I might light as bright as he. Woke up early one bright fall day to spread the tragic news. After all my travel, I settled down within a mile or two. I make my living with words and rhyme and all this tragedy Should go into my head and out instead as bits of poetry. But I say "Daddy, I'm so afraid, how will I go on with you gone this way? How can I come up with a song to say I love you?" That's my job, That's what I do Everything I do is because of you to keep you safe with me. That's my job you see. Everything I do is because of you to keep you safe with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Zach I was trying to remember the title. Another great hit from the 70s. I suggested Brandy because the song is so bad it makes me cry. I believe it was once picked as the worse hit of all time. Another great tear jerker, Mandy by Barely Manalow I can't listen to it anymore without hearing Steve Dahl's Oh Wally lyrics.

southsider2k5 Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Actually the song that gets to me the most anymore is Freedom by Paul McCartney after 9-11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 My dad always liked that Mike and the Mechanics song about getting once last chance to say something to his dad...(my mind is drawing blanks on songs for some reason today).

Texsox Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Sarah Smile by Hall & Oates is one that gets me at times. I saw Hall and Oats do a 20 minute rendition of Sarah Smile in concert in Milwaukee when they opned for ELO. Every women in the stadium was crying by the end. I went and bought beer twice before they ended. Every guy in line was saying, yeah my date started crying so I bailed out to get some food.

Texsox Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 My dad always liked that Mike and the Mechanics song about getting once last chance to say something to his dad...(my mind is drawing blanks on songs for some reason today). In the Living Years. Every generation Blames the one before And all of their frustrations Come beating on your door I know that I'm a prisoner To all my Father held so dear I know that I'm a hostage To all his hopes and fears I just wish I could have told him in the living years Crumpled bits of paper Filled with imperfect thought Stilted conversations I'm afraid that's all we've got You say you just don't see it He says it's perfect sense You just can't get agreement In this present tense We all talk a different language Talking in defence Say it loud, say it clear You can listen as well as you hear It's too late when we die To admit we don't see eye to eye So we open up a quarrel Between the present and the past We only sacrifice the future It's the bitterness that lasts So Don't yield to the fortunes You sometimes see as fate It may have a new perspective On a different day And if you don't give up, and don't give in You may just be O.K. Say it loud, say it clear You can listen as well as you hear It's too late when we die To admit we don't see eye to eye I wasn't there that morning When my Father passed away I didn't get to tell him All the things I had to say I think I caught his spirit Later that same year I'm sure I heard his echo In my baby's new born tears I just wish I could have told him in the living years Say it loud, say it clear You can listen as well as you hear It's too late when we die To admit we don't see eye to eye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Prawn Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 "The Living Years" always chokes me up. He always said that he could relate to it which confuses me. I can't being myself to ask why since they had a good relationship considering the distance (my grandda lived in Ireland). I wasn't sure if my dad thought he let his dad down by leaving (my grandda wanted my dad to stay and handle the family farm) or the guilt that my dad carried with him over his brother's death (my dad had nothing to do with it, but blamed himself for it for quite some time after the accident).

Didn't Barely also do the theme song for American Bandstand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 I probably would have been in line with ya, but it is a sad song... Problem is I really liked the song until those two over acted on the stage floor for 20 minutes (timed) The rest of the story. I was with two buddies so no one to console. We were in the second row so we got to see it all up close. I'll never forget that concert. The Stones had announced their Steel Wheels Tour and tickets were going to be some high price like $30 or $40 so concert attendance was down for almost every other act. I was a huge ELO fan at the time and was going no matter what. Hall and Oats also had Private Eyes (?) which had been played to death leading up to the concert. By the end of their set I came to dislike H&O so much. Concerts can change opinions of songs so much. I remember not liking Burn Down the Mission until I saw Elton John in concert at the old Popular Creek. I called up the day of the concert for lawn seats and the Tickettron agent said pavilion were still available. I snagged 5th row center. Someone explained they were the tickets that the staff and crew were allotted that no one used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
