With a name based on a Mystery Science Theater 3000 riff, EPP was originally going to mostly house B-movie reviews. Now though, it has become a repository for whatever burrs get under my pop culture saddle on any given day. Seriously, I must be insane; who else voluntarily reads a book on the history of jeans...and enjoys it?

Self-Indulgence: 30 Day Music Meme: Day 2: A Song That Makes You Cry

Memes don't suck...until a saddish bit comes up.

Day 2: A Song That Makes You Cry

"Wild Horses" is the song.  Hands down.  Normally I'd say "Wind Beneath my Wings" or "In My Darkest Moments", but the first only makes me cry if it's the Bette Midler version (due to the Beaches association) and the second doesn't ALWAYS make me cry. 
I know most people think of the version by the Rolling Stones, but this version by The Sundays is a favorite of mine, perhaps because it was the slow-dance song on the prom episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  Garbage has also covered this song quite well a few times.




LYRICS

Childhood living,
is easy to do
The things you wanted,
I brought them for you

Graceless lady,
you know who I am
You know I can't let you,
slide through my hands

Wild horses,
couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses,
couldn't drag me away

I watched you suffer,
a dull, aching pain
Now you decided,
to show me the same

No sweeping exits,
or off-stage lines
Can make me feel bitter,
or treat you unkind

Wild horses,
couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses,
couldn't drag me away

I know I dreamed you,
a sin and a lie
I have my freedom,
but I don't have much time

Faith has been broken,
tears must be cried
Let's do some living,
after we die

Wild horses,
couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses,
couldn't drag me away

Wild, wild horses,
we'll ride them someday
Wild, wild horses,
We'll ride them someday
