What is your favourite song??
I don't really have a fav song because different songs affect different moods. The first singer that came up when I read this was James Taylor. I love his stuff because it tells a story. Right now, Handyman is running in my head.

Hey girls, gather round
Listen to what I'm putting down
Hey baby, I'm your handyman
I'm not the kind to use a pencil or rule
I'm handy with love and I'm no fool
I fix broken hearts, I know that I truly can
If your broken heart should need repair
Then I am the man to see
I whisper sweet things, you tell all your friends
They'll come runnin' to me
Here is the main thing that I want to say
I'm busy 24 hours a day
I fix broken hearts, I know that I truly can
Come-a, come-a, come-a, come-a, come, come
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Come-a, come-a, come-a, come-a, come, come, come
They'll come runnin' to me
Here is the main thing I want to say
I’m busy 24 hours a day
I fix broken hearts, baby I’m your handyman
Come-a, come-a, come-a, come-a, come, come
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Come-a, come-a, come-a, come-a, come, come, come
Yeah, yeah, yeah

What is your favourite song??
I've always loved the song by Pearl Jam called "Better Man". It's a snapshot of a woman in a bad marriage who feels she can't do any better than what she's got.
It's a searing look at somebody's pain :-1
"Better Man"
Waitin', watchin' the clock, it's four o'clock, it's got to stop
Tell him, take no more, she practices her speech
As he opens the door, she rolls over...
Pretends to sleep as he looks her over
She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man...
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Ohh...
Talkin' to herself, there's no one else who needs to know...
She tells herself, oh...
Memories back when she was bold and strong
And waiting for the world to come along...
Swears she knew it, now she swears he's gone
She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man...
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...
She lies and says she still loves him, can't find a better man...
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Yeah...
She loved him, yeah... she don't want to leave this way
She feeds him, yeah... that's why she'll be back again
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better man
Can't find a better... man...

What is your favourite song??
November Rain or Everybody Hurts
"Why not just tell people I'm an alien from Mars. Tell them I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight. They'll believe anything you say, because you're a reporter. But if I, Michael Jackson, were to say, 'I'm an alien from Mars and I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight', people would say, 'Oh, man, that Michael Jackson is nuts. He's cracked up. You can't believe a damn word that comes out of his mouth.' " Michael Jackson
What is your favourite song??
The man who wrote this song, wrote it to honor his son, born with Down Syndrome. I love it as it reminds me very much of a young man I once worked with.
SCORN NOT HIS SIMPLICITY
(Phil Coulter / Bill Martin)
Recorded by : Paddy Reilly; Sinead O'Conner; The Dubliners; Phil Coulter; The Irish Tenors; Eamonn McGirr.
See the child
With the golden hair
Yet eyes that show the emptiness inside
Do we know
Can we understand just how he feels
Or have we really tried
See him now
As he stands alone
And watches children play a children's game
Simple child
He looks almost like the others
Yet they know he's not the same
Scorn not his simplicity
But rather try to love him all the more
Scorn not his simplicity
Oh no
Oh no
See him stare
Not recognizing the kind face
That only yesterday he loved
The loving face
Of a mother who can't understand what she's been guilty of
How she cried, tears of happiness
the day the doctor told her it's a boy
Now she cries tears of helplessness
and thinks of all the things he can't enjoy
Scorn not his simplicity
But rather try to love him all the more
Scorn not his simplicity
Oh no
Oh no
Only he knows how to face the future hopefully
Surrounded by despair
He won't ask for your pity or your sympathy
But surely you should care
Scorn not his simplicity
But rather try to love him all the more
Scorn not his simplicity
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
