plays,
I relate very well to your choice of Bridge Over Troubled Water. Not sure if that would be the single best choice for me, but that would be a top candidate. I was a very big fan of their's and that song came out at a resonant time for me.

I have two that come to mind instantly, countless others that flood in after...
1) "James" by Billy Joel
2) "Any Major Dude Will Tell You" by Steely Dan

Is everybody's post consistent with jf's "rules"? Or are some just listing song's that move them emotionally one way or another?

While I like "Fields of Gold" cause I'm a Sting fan, I like Bruce Hornsby and the Ranges' "Fields of Grey" even more. I think it's the quintessential country kind of tune that Hornsby was so good at writing. Whenever I hear it, I can imagine myself driving through the roads of rural Virginia where he's from.
FWIW, he was a former tuning customer of mine(excuse the rampant self-congratulatory gesture there:-).

I have a few, for different reasons. One of mine with special meaning is "Daniel" by Elton John. My mom likes that song because it reminds her of her brother. His name was James, not Daniel. But he died when he was a few years old due to spinal meningitis. I think this was in the late 50's or early 60's.

As far as songs that make you cry... there's an old John Stewart song called "Mother Country." It's very folk-inspired, sort of a combo of talking/singing. When he gets to the end, about E. A Stuart, I always lose it.
I am a huge fan of the old John Stewart songs... he writes such evocative, haunting, nostalgic lyrics.
As far as my song, I'll have to think about it. There have been sooo many. Maybe Blind Faith, "Can't Find My Way Home..." Hmmm. That would be high on the list, for sure. John Stewart is a favorite of mine as well! Do you happen to like Jerry Riopelle as well? I cannot find his sheet music anywhere! My rock books include: Jackson Browne Bruce Sprinsteen Beatles Elton John Billy Joel U2 Van Morrison Cat Stevens Neil Diamond Paul Simon Carol King...

Redball Texas Flyer!! Were you of "a certain age" in Phoenix in the mid to late 70s, by any chance? How did YOU spend your New Year's Eve? Did it include a visit to Celebrity Theater?

Arcadia High School '74-'77, you bet! I never made it the Celebrity Theater, but saw Jerry Riopelle several times in Phoenix and Sedona. I've always loved "Walking on Water" and "Candi Barr"
My first concerts were Bread (!) at the Coliseum and Three Dog Night at Legend City! As a 15 year old young buck I was at Springsteen's Born to Run Concert at Grady Gammage. I still haven't recovered!
Also we went up to Arcosanti for a few of the Jackson Browne concerts in high school.
Where do you go to HS?
Estonically yours,

Jessica - Allman Brothers.
This is always such a shot in the arm to hear. A rock band naming a tune after a girl generally means relationship tune, but in this case, as I understand it, Jessica was one of their daughters. When she was just learning to crawl, the joy experienced by both infant and parent in unison inspired him to express that in music (dunno if it was duane, dickie, greg, or who). An instrumental, it is pure joy. The keyboard part drives it. I've jammed it casually at home with friends, but I always wanted to mount that piano solo in performance. That would be such a high.
I was born the year Glenn Gould stop playing concerts. Coincidence?

ivory-- Started at Saguaro in 72, graduated from Chaparral in 75. Did you go to the Phx Live concert Stewart did at Symphony Hall? It was such a big-time event for Phoenix at the time. I have to dig out my records and get ol' Jerry on the turntable. Of course, I'd also have to dig out my turntable, which means I'd have to find my turntable. Oh, never mind. Legend City... I haven't thought of that in years. I had my first date there!  Ditto Toad Hall, Bill Compton and KDKB...
