Members JCIsbell Posted July 7, 2004 Members Share Posted July 7, 2004 I just did "4 and 20" last night for the first time in a long time. "and I find myself just wishing that my life would simply cease". That's pretty sad. I bet that are even more sad songs, but I wouldn't bet against James Taylor on anything.

Members JCIsbell Posted July 8, 2004 Members Share Posted July 8, 2004 Originally posted by JetCityMatt What song is that from? (I only have the greatest hits album and two more, but I need more JT) Sorry, I was unintentionally misleading. "4 & 20" is from Crosby Stills and Nash I think. It's Stephen Stills anyway. James Taylor just happens to be my favorite lyricist in many ways and the thread started with "Fire and Rain"."Another Grey Morning" is pretty sad. "She said "Make me angry, or just make me cry - but no more grey mornings, I think I'd rather die"" Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
