HamerHokie Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 "Hurt," of course. I could never perform this without crying."Keep Me In Your Heart For a While" - Warren Zevon, basically his swan song to the world."Shannon" - Henry Gross, about losing his dog to the sea. Much sadder than "Wildfire" IMHO."Candle In The Wind" - Elton John"Empty Garden" - Elton John"What Becomes of the Broken Hearted" - Jimmy Ruffin, redone better by Joan Osbourne"Eleanor Rigby" - Beatles"Without You" - Nilsson"Song to the Siren" - Tim Buckley, though This Mortal Coil's version is more haunting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
