In the same fashion as another grief board has done, I thought perhaps we could start our own version here of songs we find poignant and meaningful in one way or another, or that remind us of our fur-babies. This way we'll have one central thread (or even a separate forum if Marc could get that added sometime?) where we can come when we need to listen to music that helps us release our tears and sorrow, or even makes us smile in memory.
In that light, I'd like to start this off with one I just found that we could consider rather a tribute to ALL fur-babies everywhere. It's a pretty sweet song, and best of all, this particular accompanying video is dedicated to just animals. Baby of Mine Baby mine, don't you cry. Baby mine, dry your eyes. Rest your head close to my heart, never to part, baby of mine. Little one when you play, don't you mind what they say. Let those eyes sparkle and shine, never a tear, baby of mine. If they knew sweet little you they'd end up loving you two. All of those people who scold you what they'd give just for the right to hold you. From your head down to your toes, you're not much, goodness knows. But you're so precious to me, sweet as can be, baby of mine. If they knew sweet little you, they'd end up loving you too. All those same people who scold you, what they'd give just for the right to hold you. From your head down to your toes you're not much, goodness knows. But you're so precious to me, sweet as can be, baby of mine. Baby of mine ~Alison Krauss~ Still in the general theme category, this next one could be considered a reminder to ourselves of how we should treat ourselves during our grief....or any other time, really! Gentle With Myself .....don't be surprised if you start tearing up during this one (many people have), as you begin to acknowledge just how hard you've been on yourself for goodness knows how long.... Please feel free to add your own favourites, along with lyrics if you like. I know I'll be back later to add some of the ones I've already posted in my own threads. (we can only hope that with any video or other files, they don't disappear too soon from the 'net) -------------------- "I dropped a tear in the ocean.

great idea, i'll pin it to the top of the forum for now.
as Furkidlets' Mom did, search youtube.com for your songs. then either post a link to the page or use their 'embed' code to the right of each video to create a little thumbnail of the video, like i did below. here's how: paste the embed code into your reply here; and then from the dropdown called 'Post Options' just below your reply window, choose "HTML On - Auto Line Break Mode" and click the Add Reply button. that's all there is to it. also, please do not try to upload mp3 or wma song files with the attachments link, the forum board doesn't support those files. enjoy everybody! -------------------- |
