From his blog: These songs, for different reasons, have made me cry at one or several points in my life…
* Old & Wise (The Alan Parsons Project)
The song to play at my funeral, should I fail to live forever.
* Winter (Tori Amos)
This might be the best song ever written.
* Hurt (performed by Johnny Cash)
I saw the video when I heard it the first time.
* Still Loving You (Scorpions)
I played this in my dad’s car as our sick cat was put down.
* Eye in the Sky (The Alan Parsons Project)
This was the first album I bought myself, age nine, and when I played it again in my car at age 34, with our one year old son beside me and the sun shining, I just couldn’t help smiling and weeping at the same time.
* Coat of Many Colors (Dolly Parton)
Don’t look at me like that! Well, listen to it yourself then!
I wholeheartedly agree with him on Winter. Fucking amazing song.
Currently reviewing every Madonna single/video to mark the release of Celebration - come join the party!
