Is Shania singing the song to the horse?

Of course

 

[raskolnikov]

I'm always thankful when I've entered a song that I think might get the Billy only to discover that Harvey or Spud has entered a nom.

It appears so.
And why not!
A lovely horse it is!

 

[myblueroan]

Of course

I woke up at 5 this morning and started listening to different versions of this song [thanks myblueroan ] because when I went to see Yes in 2003 I thought the slide guitar solo near the end was so beautiful it made me cry . On the studio version it is mostly drowned out by the keyboards - more prominent on live versions but none as outstanding as on their rendition that night. It starts at about 8:10 on this one

 

[por_please_ya]

What were they. Spam away?

Ok




Yes I know this is a band you hate lol but I was going through a crappy time when I heard it and I would cry hearing the end part.




Nommed this pretty recently

 

[MP_]

Loved the 2 minute intro to Shania’s song would have got my 5 if the whole song was that.

 

[myblueroan]

11 have voted, so nine more to come.

Anyone can win.
Pretty sure Billy is decided.

 

[Raveneyes]

If I'd played I might have nommed this. Noticed Plugger35 also mentioned it. Obviously a song that hits many in the feels.



The other two that come to mind right away are previous noms of mine, one which I won a round with, and the other my first ever nom in the SC.

I won with the studio version, but love his live vids. Envious of those who did see him live.



My first ever nom. My brother and I were huge PJ fans back in the day. He passed away literally the same week this song was released. Even now, 11 years later, it still takes me back to the absolute devastating pain of that week.

 

[raskolnikov]

Boted.

A few I would have nommed if I hadn't already done so previously.







As well as Bright Eyes which has already been mentioned.

 

[myblueroan]

a thrilling finish between 4 songs atm.

1 hour or so to go and 6 more voters to help decide the cryingest song of the round.

I wanted to nom this one because my dog (Fyfe) is identical to the dog in the clip

Oh my God...
Just reminded me of this. Coulda been a contender...

 

[FreoGirl]

I almost nominated Whitney's version of this

 

[myblueroan]

Both stunning! Both tear worthy.

 

[raskolnikov]

MWPP I'm watching Rocketman on tv atm.

 

[Plugger35]

Another tearjerker from a movie I saw at the cinema as a little kid, the Muppet Movie didn't scar me like Watership Down did.

 

[myblueroan]

Harvey Manfrenjensenden Dinsdale Callums_Guns

Will wait until 9:30 for ya.
No runaway favorite.
Any of 3 could win with any of 5 or 6 who could podium.

[Fossie 32]

he's too busy crying

It’s something he could never do

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Not sure it was nominated but a song that's made me cry a lot is Bad Wolves' cover of The Cranberries - Zombie.
