There are loads of songs that have all different emotional meanings for me. But there is one that I think embodies true emotiuon in the lyrics and the singing of, and I have to stop and listen and think every time. That is the Pogues singing “The Band Played Walzing Matilda”. It’s a stunning recording.

If you’ve never heard it, have a look here about the guy who wrote it, and see the lyrics
