Yes sir.

What a wonderful instrument!

Written by Mark Hollis in a plea to his brother Ed to kick heroin, sadly Ed died the same month as the album release. Sadly Marc Hollis made very little music after this and also died too young. The song gets me every time.

If that didn't move you... dead.

 

Also, this is the ultimate song of loss...

 

 

And this last one is personal to me, because my wife is profoundly deaf and I think this encapsulates how she must feel at times...

 

Wall of Silence by The Martinis

 

 

For further reference, the only album the Martinis did, Smitten, is an absolute hidden gem.

The ones I’ve posted aren’t so much personal as rather sad songs that I thought deserved an airing, all of them from a long time ago. They all bring a lump to my throat, an effect that music increasingly tends to have on me as I get older.

 

A song that does have personal significance to me is the one below. I am unable to discuss why here I’m afraid.
 

 

I witnessed a fatal car crash while listening to this, literally following a car on a long and winding road to Skegness. It went straight at a bend head on into an oncoming car. The driver and a passenger died.

How utterly shocking. I have no words.
