RUBY TUESDAY
(Jagger/Richards)
Lyrics Brian Jones & Keith Richards, with the music possibly written by Jones? Recorded in November 1966. Released as a US single on January 1967 and went to #1 on the charts. Released as a B side single in the UK also on  January 13, 1967.  

She would never say where she came from
Yesterday don't matter if it's gone
While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
No one knows
She comes and goes.
 
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you...
 
Don't question why she needs to be so free
She'll tell you it's the only way to be
She just can't be chained
To a life where nothing's gained
And nothing's lost
At such a cost.
 
There's no time to lose, I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams
And you will lose your mind.
Ain't life unkind?
 
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you...

Songs & pieces of music that have made me cry

-->

Many of these songs below are piano songs (not all) - just piano, and powerful, direct, clear vocals that are deeply moving. I play piano myself so maybe that's why piano gets me. Minor keys make us feel sad – oddly sad songs make us feel better because we know we are not alone.

Let It Be – written and sung by Paul McCartney (one of the best songs ever written, simple yet so emotional, about his mother who died when he was 13)

A Heart Needs Home - written and sung by Richard Thompson

This Cruel Country – written and sung by Richard Thompson (most moving lyrics)

Who Knows Where the Time Goes – written by Sandy Denny and sung by Fairport Convention

Persuasion - written and sung by Richard Thompson

Blue - written and sung by Joni Mitchell

River – written and sung by Joni Mitchell (can't praise Joni enough she's my musical hero)

Both Sides Now – written and sung by Joni Mitchell (my favourite all time song)

Always on My Mind – old song sung by Willie Nelson ( amazing emotions)

Clarinet Concerto In A, K 622 – Mozart (whenever I feel down the best therapy)

Nocturne In E Minor, Op.72, 1 – Chopin

Sonata Pathetique - Beethoven

Visions of Johanna – written sung by Bob Dylan ( immersing love song)

Bridge Over Troubled Water – written and sung by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkle

Tears in Heaven – written and sung by Eric Clapton (about his young son who fell to his death)

Fix You – Coldplay (wonderful mood the way it builds momentum)

Sometimes You Can't Make it on your own – written and sung by Bono and U2 (about Bono's father)

Probably more…..!!
