    Most Emotional Track Ever - The Final

    So, Gents/Ladies, my 'Summertime of Sadness' has finally came to it's natural conclusion and it's time for yet another music competition on Tekel to be consigned to the dustbin of time. Thanks to all who participated/commented, as per.

    The 2nd Semi Final of the tournament witnessed victory registered yet again for "Philadelphia" by Neil Young. The melancholic track for the film of the same name will now progress through to The Final. The defeated track (and therefore eliminated) was 'I Know It's Over' by The Smiths.

    The Final -

    Neil Young - Philadelphia


    Released - 1993
    Written By - Neil Young


    Songs Background - Young wrote this track 'Philadelphia' for the 1993 Jonathan Demme directed film of the same name. Demme originally asked Neil Young to write an opening track to the film. Six weeks later Young sent him over a tape, "We were crying the first time we heard it. I went : 'Oh.my god, Neil Young trusts this movie more than I do' said Demme in an interview regards the song.




    The melancholic nature of Young's contribution led Demme to switch the song to the ending of the film, rather than the opening sequence.

    V's

    Johnny Cash - Hurt


    Released - March 2003
    Written By - Trent Reznor


    Songs Background - The song was originally written in 1994 by Trent Reznor, singer/lyricist with 'The Nine Inch Nails'. The song includes references to self harm and heroin addiction, although the overall meaning of the song is disputed.


    Some listeners contend that the song acts as a suicide note written by the song's protagonist, as a result of his depression while other listeners of the track claim that it describes the difficult process of finding a reason to live in spite of depression and pain.

    Hurt Lyrics -
    I hurt myself today
    To see if I still feel
    I focus on the pain
    The only thing that's real
    The needle tears a hole
    The old familiar sting
    Try to kill it all away
    But I remember everything
    What have I become?
    My sweetest friend
    Everyone I know
    Goes away in the end
    You could have it all
    My empire of dirt
    I will let you down
    I will make you hurt
    I wear my crown of shit
    On my liar's chair
    Full of broken thoughts
    I cannot repair
    Beneath the stain of time
    The feeling disappears
    You are someone else
    I am still right here
    What have I become?
    My sweetest friend
    Everyone I know
    Goes away in the end
    You could have it all
    My empire of dirt
    I will let you down
    I will make you hurt
    If I could start again
    A million miles away
    I would keep myself
    I would find a way

    Philadelphia Lyrics -
    [Chorus]
    Sometimes I think that I know
    What love's all about
    And when I see the light
    I know I'll be all right

    [Verse 1]
    I've got my friends in the world
    I had my friends
    When we were boys and girls
    And the secrets came unfurled

    [Verse 2]
    City of brotherly love
    Place I call home
    Don't turn your back on me
    I don't want to be alone
    Love lasts forever
    Someone is talking to me
    Calling my name
    Tell me I'm not to blame
    I won't be ashamed of love
    Philadelphia
    City of brotherly love
    Brotherly love

    [Chorus]
    Sometimes I think that I know
    What love's all about
    And when I see the light
    I know I'll be all right

    Crikey, what a choice to have to make. Two of my favourites but I simply have to go with Cash.

    That version of that song could break the heart of a heartless bassa!

    Johnny Cash!

    Well done again Tek, hats aff to you.


    A worthy winner in my humbles, would've voted for him in the final but was off the grid for a few days.


    Still think Jimmy Cliff shoulda won it, but all about opinion right enough 

    I don't know a lot, but I know what I like!

    Broadening my musical knowledge with a bit of fun at the same time.  These comps and the Music threads gives this forum the edge on other footy forums.  Also interesting to share thoughts with guys who are not all the same age.
