If I sit here and weep, I'll be blown over by the slightest of breeze. Laura Marling. Reminds me of my Dad whose retort to most things was " onwards!"

And most lyrics Joni Mitchell has written.

Not read the full thread but
Been listening to this one a lot recently
"At the age of thirty-seven
She realised she'd never ride
Through Paris in a sports car
With the warm wind in her hair"

The Doctor Hook version is the best. When I first heard this song 37 seemed so oooooold.

I wish I didn't know now, what I didn't know then.

Moi je t'offrirai
Des perles de pluie
Venues de pays
Où il ne pleut pas
Je creuserai la terre
Jusqu'après ma mort
Pour couvrir ton corps
D'or et de lumière

Most achingly gorgeous love song everrrrrrr. Could have quoted the whole thing

Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
But still you'll never get it right
'Cos when you're laid in bed at night
Watching roaches climb the wall
If you called your Dad he could stop it all

I love Leonard Cohen's "There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in"

I remember I was at his amazing concert in the Royal Hospital, Kilmainham, Dublin and he spoke about those words.
