I was listening to Peter Gabriel’s Hit and Miss CDs today, and this song came over the speakers. It made me really sad, and I almost started crying right then and there (which would be hard to explain at work) because it sort of describes the fear I feel if I ever had to face losing my wife, like if she dies before I do. That is the most horrible thing I can think of at the moment.

I really like Peter Gabriel’s work, because his songs wring the emotions right out of me like no one else’s can. His song Solsbury Hill also brings up a tear now and again.

Is there a song for you that affects you that way? Who sings it and what is there about that song that touches you so deeply?
