Sunthing Special

In addition to R.E.M.’s “Everybody Hurts” (see previous blog), a few that I’ve cried along to through the years (though luckily not for the last 13+ years) are Bonnie Raitt’s “I can’t make you love me”, Hole’s “Doll Parts” (it’s a strange song but all I could sing along to were the words “Someday you will ache like I ache”), Celene Dion’s “Water from the Moon”, Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart” and Michael Stanley Band’s “Lover” (who can forget the lyric “Thank God for the man who put the white line on the highway”). I’m sure if I give it some thought I could come up with half a million more. A great current one is Adele’s “Someone like you”. After my mom got divorced she played Gloria Gaynor’s “I will survive” nonstop. Would anyone like to share any of theirs?
