Probably posted this a few weeks ago but heyho, it doesn't get any better than this.

There are some great songs being put up on this thread “whiter shade of pale” is an excellent choice Dave and the Led Zeppelin track is fantastic, my favourite track of all time is “Stairway to heaven” it’s been with me through thick and thin that one, it’s amazing how a certain song can take you back to a moment in your life.


Grimsby and proud!

I'm sure I've posted this on here before but this is one of the lesser known and played tracks that I really love.

Absolutely stunning version that PP! Gave me goosebumps and brought a tear to the eye. What a voice and I don’t know why but a choir and orchestra take songs to another level. It definitely has here.

Out-bloody-standing!!👍🏻

The album ‘Other Aspects’ live at the festival hall is outstanding but this is my favourite track on it. Something otherworldly about it played loudly.

For my dads funeral a couple of years we got to choose 3 songs to be played, he wasn't a church goer so there was no need for hymns or religion. I chose the original version of Days by The Kinks. Unlike myself, my dad was a more casual music fan but seemed to often hum or sing the chorus of a couple of Kinks songs so seemed appropriate. Heard this acoustic version a year or 2 ago, aside from the obvious personal connection it's such an incredibly poignant song, more so stripped down like this.

Moving words.
Listening to that after reading your post as a frame of reference gave it extra poignancy.
From my own point of view once the rawness and pain have numbed or eased the songs we hear at the funerals of people close to us, have a bittersweet effect on me.
You are right about it being stripped back too, adds an element of vulnerability and intimacy.
