John Morrison Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) I'm making up a mix-tape of songs, suitable for a time of 'self-isolating' and 'social distancing'. So far I've got All by myself, by Eric Carmen and Don’t stand so close to me, by the Police. More suggestions, please...

Then by Hank Williams...I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry That has got to be one of the saddest songs ever written. Hank Williams expressed such deep universal emotion in his lyrics and his voice. It brings tears to my eyes when I listen to it. He really had a way with words. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked that out and yes - nice lyrics. 16 minutes ago, Chuck Nacke said: I always start out with the original Sympathy for the Devil by the Stones. Chuck Beggars Banquet was one of the first albums I ever bought. You could probably add No Expectations and Dear Doctor to the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
