Great choice, I too get a bit melancholy when I listen to this song, the Nico version is great also. It is amazing that Browne wrote this when he was only 16 years old.

Excellent posts in this thread! Reminds me of music (and effects on me) I had forgotten about. My thanks to all.

There are many…but I will have to say that ‘My Immortal’ by Evanescence …Amy Lee’s voice is riveting as well as haunting…this video gets me every time.
Another is ‘Another You’ by The Seekers …this song from back in the day always makes me think about the loss of my beloved wife…it’s also extra emotional because Judith Durham strikes a strong resemblance to that beautiful young girl I married bak in 1971…

"In Christ Alone", either sung in church or the original version by the Getty's and/or Stuart Townend. I don't care for the any of the hundreds of covers.
