Was listening to Bowie in the car the other day - when it got to the chorus in Ashes to Ashes where he sings "strung out in heaven's high hitting an all time low", I was gone. Right in the feels. Exiles by King Crimson for me. R.I.P John Wetton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotfree Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 The song was written by Roy Harper, but I think this is the best version. The kettles on, the sun has gone, another dayShe offers me, Tibetan tea, on a flower trayShe's at the door, she wants to score, she really needs to say:I once loved you a long time ago, you knowWhere the winds own forget-me-nots blow, you knowBut I couldn't let myself goNot knowing what on earth there was to knowBut I wish that I had, cause it makes me so sadThat I never had one of your children.Across the room, inside a tomb, a chance is waxed and wanedThe night is young, why are we so hung-up, in each others chainsI must take her, I must make her, while the dove domainsSee the juice run as she fliesRun my wings under her sighsAs the flames of eternity riseTo lick us with the first born lash of dawnOh really my dear, I can't see what we fearWith ourselves, sat here between usAnd at the door, we can't say more, than just another dayWithout a sound, I turn around, and I walk away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

++Ammo - Airdrie++ Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I absolutely love a bit of Pink Floyd, for every occasion.But the one that gets me right in the feels is Shine on you crazy diamond.Obviously most folk know who it was written about but even listening to it still, its tragic knowing this piece of genius writing is relating to another legend.

Ya Bezzer! Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Best song on the new Spoon album. Can't find the studio version but this is a pretty good live version. The middle section of the album version....offt....just hits you in the chest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weirdcal Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Bit morbid but it only started to happen after i became a father. I cannot listen to any version of knocking on heavens door (including the guns n roses version) without thinking about dunblane and getting a bitty teary.Prior to having child id think about it and think thats sad but having your own really alters it.

pandarilla Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I didn't know how to post videos until now (still not great but link below). Anyone wanting an emotional 8 minutes should watch this wee story about the song. My daughter is four and I can't let myself think about what that would be like.
