Nice selection nyc
I saw the Offspring in concert a while back and while they were playing Gone Away I just started crying. I didn't even realize it until afterward because it just reminded me of how I felt when my dad had passed away when I was younger.
Funny how it can just hit you all at once, almost like an involuntary reaction. It's a reflex in some ways I think.
I selected Coal Miner's Daughter and I'll explain why.
My little sister passed away a couple years ago, and when I went with my mother to her boyfriend's house after the funeral, he asked me to grab him a plastic bag from a drawer where they kept them in a huge bundle. It was like a cloud of white Wal-Mart bags when I opened the drawer hehe. Long Story short....I reached in and the first bag I pulled out had something in it.
I looked and there were 2 new Loretta Lynn CDs still sealed. I showed Lenny(my sissy's BFF) and he said Brandy wondered where they were and then forgot about them.
My sister had bought them a couple months before she died and never got to hear them play. Len gave them to me. And even though I'd rather much rather listen to Soundgarden or Mudvayne, I played Coal Miner's Daughter when I got home.
I balled like a little baby, and have ever since whenever I hear that song. It'll forever be tied to the thought that my little sister missed that moment to do something as simple as hear a song. Breaks my heart. I miss her so bad.
So although it's a goofy song, it's full of heart and soul.

In the Summer time we didn't have shoes to wear
But in the Winter time we'd all get a brand new pair
From a mail order catalog, money made from selling a hog
Daddy always managed to get the money somewhere
