I was just reading the forum and this song came on and I thought, how appropriate as it reminded me of T.

If I were to dedicate a song to T (or a portion of a song) it would be the opening lines of this song by Chuck Mangione (circa 1977 or so):

"What is there to fear
From the darkness that surrounds us
I don't really know the way but that's okay
as long as we're together we'll always find daylight ahead"

yada yada yada

What song reminds you of T?

Sister, That sounds a very appropriate song.

Oh boy, you opened another can of worms, lol... once I get going with this, I'll never stop. The song you chose sounds very appropriate, Sister.

There is this band called Air. They are from France. There are two songs by Air that really remind me of T. Of course some of the lyrics are quite lovey-dovey and sappy, but hey--most songs are written for lovers not Ts, lol.

Here are the songs:

#1 Air-- You Make it Easy

" Never been here - How about you ? "
You smile at my answer,
You've given me the chance,
To be held and understood.

You leave me laughing without crying,
There's no use denying,
For many times I've tried,
Love has never felt as good.

Be it downtown or way up in the air,
When your heart's pounding,
You know that I'm aware.

You make it easy to watch the world with love,
You make it easy to let the past be done,
You make it easy.

How'd you do it ? How'd you find me ?
How did I find you ?
How can this be true ?
To be held and understood.

Keep it coming - no one's running
The lesson I'm learning
'Cause blessings are deserved
By the trust that always could

Be it downtown or way up in the air,
When your heart's pounding,
You know that I'm aware.

You make it easy to watch the world with love,
You make it easy to let the past be done,
You make it easy.

You make it easy to watch the world with love,
You make it easy to let the past be done,
You make it easy.

#2 Air-- How Does it Make You Feel (lol-- I never realized that the title and chorus of this song is the classic analysis question-- it's also worth mentioning that Air is an electronic band that uses a lot of interesting effects on their voices-- and this song is actually sung in a robot-like voice so that it gives the impression that an alient is singing the song-- it's very cool).

I am feeling very warm right now
Please don't disappear
I am spacing out with you
You are the most beautiful entity that I've ever dreamed of

At night I will protect you in your dreams
I will be your angel
You worry so much about not having enough time together
It makes no difference to me
I would be happy with just one minute in your arms
Let's have an extended play together
You're telling me that we live to far to love each other
But your love can stretch further than you and I can see
So how does it make you feel?

How does it make you feel?
How does it make you feel?
How does it make you feel?
How does it make you feel?

Do you know when you look at me
It is a salvation
I've been waiting for you so long
I can drive on that road forever
I wish you could exist to live on my planet
Well it's very hard for me to say these things in your presence
So how does it make you feel?

T songs, eh? I just do Billy Joel's "And So It Goes"

In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along

I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense

And every time I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose

But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break

And this is why my eyes are closed
It's just as well for all I've seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows

So I would choose to be with you
That's if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break

And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows
