Which MK/DS song is most likely to make you cry?
« on: May 27, 2022, 10:25:19 AM »
I was thinking about this the other day, and two came to mind:

Brothers in Arms
On Every Street

Piper to the End

Although in reality I was in floods of tears after Going Home at the last tour as I knew it was probably the last time I would see my hero play, and the last time I would share this experience with friends I have made over a 20 year period  :'(

Wow, that's a great topic indeed. I don't think Mark's catalog is a good source for cry-inducing songs specifically, but everything already listed can give you some chances to shed tears depending on the situation. Usually, and I mean always, his songs bring optimism and happiness and I cry because of happiness if you know what I mean. The feeling Bob Dylan described in one of his songs as “It frightens me, the awful truth of how sweet life can be.”

On Every Street makes me emotional when I merely recite lyrics in my head: "There's gotta be a record of you someplace", "And you still refuse to be traced", "Somewhere your fingerprints remain concrete", etc.

The Alchemy introduction to Tunnel Of Love live version and the song itself gave me probably the biggest emotional dives in my life when I was a kid, I just went straight to the cosmos listening to it on repeat. It's probably the ultimate tears shedding song MK ever got.

Where do you think you're going?
8th September 1979 Orpheum, Boston
I know the way I can see by the moonlight
Clear as the day
Now come on woman, come follow me home

Hand in hand.
When I was young a love letter was delivered to me while listening to this song. I turned it down, no regrets, but always connected to the song. (Sorry for too much information   ;) )

I find there's something very special in the On the night live version of Brothers in Arms, some time after that pedal steel solo I always get a bit teary eyed and goosebumps.

RIGHT

I know some people for some reason constantly bash the On The Night album (WHY?), but yeah, Brothers In Arms is absolutely epic there. Monumental version, I also love Mark's simple outfit with a white T-shirt.

My Bacon Roll.

Crying in bafflement as to why it’s on the album….

Seriously, BIA is an obvious choice. As is If This is Goodbye.

I second Heart Full of Holes too-especially if it IS about the holocaust as some have speculated.

I liked MK in the white T-shirt too, much nicer than the blue and white striped vest at Basel!
