  Okay, I am a lover of rock/punk, and that's the truth.

  There is one song that always sends chills down my back, though, and it is PURE country. Here it is, and I ask YOU, what song makes you feel this way?

  HE STOPPED LOVING HER TODAY

  George Jones

  He said "I'll love you till I die",
  she told him "You'll forget in time"
  As the years went slowly by,
  she still preyed upon his mind
  
  He kept her picture on his wall,
  went half-crazy now and then
  He still loved her through it all,
  hoping she'd come back again
  
  Kept some letters by his bed
  dated nineteen sixty-two
  He had underlined in red
  every single "I love you"
  
  I went to see him just today,
  oh but I didn't see no tears
  All dressed up to go away, first time
  I'd seen him smile in years
  
  He stopped loving her today
  They placed a wreath upon his door
  And soon they'll carry him away
  He stopped loving her today
  
  (Spoken)
  
  You know,
  she came to see him one last time.
  Aww, 'n' we all wondered if she would.
  And it kept runnin' through my mind
  "this time he's over her for good."
  
  He stopped loving her today
  They placed a wreath upon his door
  And soon they'll carry him away
  He stopped loving her today

  Tal- That's a great song, Ol' George has some good ones. I was raised on old country and I love alot of it...............I love alot of different music. As far as country goes though, Keith Whitley and Randy Travis are among my favorites.......

  Keith Whitley » When You Say Nothing At All It's amazing how you Can speak right to my heart Without saying a word You can light up the dark Try as I may I could never explain What I hear when you don't say a thing The smile on your face Let's me know that you need me There's a truth in your eyes Saying you'll never leave me A touch of your hand Says you'll catch me if ever I fall Yeah, you say it best When you say nothing at all All day long I can hear People talking out loud But when you hold me near You drown out the crowd Old Mr. Webster could never define What's being said between your heart and mine The smile on your face Lets me know that you need me There's a truth in you eyes Saying you'll never leave me A touch of your hand Says you'll catch me If ever I fall Yeah, you say it best When you say nothing at all The smile on your face Lets me know that you need me There's a truth in your eyes Saying you'll never leave me A touch of your hand says you'll catch me If ever I fall Yeah, you say it best When you say nothing at all

  House Where Nobody Lives

  (Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan)

  There's a house on my block
  That's abandoned and cold
  Folks moved out of it a
  Long time ago
  And they took all their things
  And they never came back
  Looks like it's haunted
  With the windows all cracked
  And everyone call it
  The house, the house where
  Nobody lives
  
  Once it held laughter
  Once it held dreams
  Did they throw it away
  Did they know what it means
  Did someone's heart break
  Or did someone do somebody wrong?
  
  Well the paint was all cracked
  It was peeled off of the wood
  Papers were stacked on the porch
  Where I stood
  And the weeds had grown up
  Just as high as the door
  There were birds in the chimney
  And an old chest of drawers
  Looks like no one will ever
  Come back to the
  House were nobody lives
  
  Once it held laughter
  Once it held dreams
  Did they throw it away
  Did they know what it means
  Did someone's heart break
  Or did someone do someone wrong?
  So if you find someone
  Someone to have, someone to hold
  Don't trade it for silver
  Don't trade it for gold
  I have all of life's treasures
  And they are fine and they are good
  They remind me that houses
  Are just made of wood
  What makes a house grand
  Ain't the roof or the doors
  If there's love in a house
  It's a palace for sure
  Without love...
  It ain't nothin but a house
  A house where nobody lives
  Without love it ain't nothin
  But a house, a house where
  Nobody lives.

  Almost Home By: Craig Morgan

  He had plastic bags wrapped round his shoes,

  He was covered with the evening news.

  Had a pair of ol' woll socks on his hands,

  The bank sign was flashing five below,

  It was freezing rain and spittin snow.

  He was curled up behind some garbage cans.

  I was affraid that he was dead,

  So I gave him a gentle shake.

  When he opened up his eyes,

  I said ol' man are you okay.

  (chorus)

  He said : I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree,

  I was runnin from somme honey bees.

  Drip dryin in the summer breeze,

  After jumpin into Calico creek.

  I was runnin down an old dirt road,

  Past a field of hay that had just been mowed.

  Man I wished youd just left me alone,

  I was almost home

  Then he said I's just comin round the barn

  about the time you grabbed my arm,

  And I heard mama holler son hurry up.

  And I was close enough from my own nose

  To smell fresh cobbler on the stove,

  And I saw daddy loaden up the truck.

  Cane poles on the tailgate,

  Bobbers blowin in the wind.

  Since July of 55 that's as close as I've been.

  (Chorus)

  I said ol' man you're gonna freeze to death,

  Let me drive you to the mission.

  He said boy if you'd just left me alone,

  Right now I'd be fishin.

  (chorus)

  Creep by Radiohead gets me every time.... its just the guitar- amazing.... (sorry about the language)

  Creep

  When you were here before, couldn't look you in the eye. You're just like an angel, your skin makes me cry. You float like a feather, in a beautiful world I wish I was special, you're so fucking special. But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo. What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here. I don't care if it hurts, I want to have control. I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul. I want you to notice, when I'm not around. You're so fucking special, I wish I was special. But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo. What the hell am I doing here?. I don't belong here She's running out the door, she's running, she run, run, run, run, run. Whatever makes you happy, whatever you want. You're so fucking special, I wish I was special, but I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo. What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here, I don't belong here.

  This song came on when I was watching coverage of Katrina, which was sort of creepy. I see a bad moon arising.
  I see trouble on the way.
  I see earthquakes and lightnin'.
  I see bad times today.
  
  Don't go around tonight,
  Well, it's bound to take your life,
  There's a bad moon on the rise.
  
  I hear hurricanes ablowing.
  I know the end is coming soon.
  I fear rivers over flowing.
  I hear the voice of rage and ruin.
  
  Don't go around tonight,
  Well, it's bound to take your life,
  There's a bad moon on the rise.
  All right!
  
  Hope you got your things together.
  Hope you are quite prepared to die.
  Looks like we're in for nasty weather.
  One eye is taken for an eye.
  
  Don't go around tonight,
  Well, it's bound to take your life,
  There's a bad moon on the rise.
  
  Don't go around tonight,
  Well, it's bound to take your life,
  There's a bad moon on the rise.
