James Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 ...song of them all? What's you guys' choice? Mine is probably Lobo's "Don't expect me to be your friend". Even as a little kid it got me. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xsh6qe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew C. Clark Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Roland Kent LaVoie ("Lobo") sounds like a cross between the late Jim Croce & Bobby Goldsboro!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECatw Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I Can't Make You Love Me -- Bonnie Raitt So sad.. the lyrics say it all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Good calls, especially "I Can't Make You Love Me." It was written by Mike Reid, football-player-turned-songwriter. He was an All-Pro defensive lineman with the Cincinnati Bengals in the 1970s. That song is the epitome of unrequited love. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I'll ultimately put a list here, but for now, the one that comes to mind, because I've been listening to it a lot lately, is the Beatles "For No One." It's one of McCartney's more under-appreciated gems, a song that has all kinds of heartbroken lines. Like, "And in her eyes you see nothing, no sign of love behind the tears cried for no one."
