Just has me thinking of my late step-dad's version, when he fronted pub C&W band "Indiana".
Still got his album "Coffee Black", it's on there.
He sadly succumbed to cancer 18 months after my mum died.
After the battle with throat/jaw cancer, the lung result took his fight away.
Damn those ads....
One of the first records I ever bought.
Sorry to hear it brings back sad memories Mr.Mr
That’s the power of music, for one person the giddy heights of happiness and for someone else the depths of despair.You must have mixed emotions over that track.
A little bit of you dies inside when you are witness to that sort of battle. It ain’t easy for those left behind, tough to deal with.
A bit like watching someone eat a Chicken McNugget really.
Now then, which track makes you jump up and down?
Old 97, gerontius.
Problem is, the album also has his version of "Wind Beneath my Wings", played as the curtains closed for the last time on mum.
She was, for him.
As you say, the power of music.
Several songs in different genres get to me too, for various reasons.
If a silver 03 plate transit goes past you, the music you hear will depict the mood I'm in, mostly blues, but every now and then....
