Favourite song - QC contest 30

Music - What is your favorite song? Why do you like it? How does it make you feel? Questions from QC contest 30

There are so many songs, and yet so few that mean anything to me at all. I only like a dozen or so, and they are all eqyally favourites. Here's one that means something to me. It's the soundtrack, I think, for a movie called City of Lost Children which I have never seen.

Marianne Faithfull: Who Will Take My Dreams Away

Why do I like it? It's not a happy song, nor cheerful, but the lyrics feel so real. The music is eerie. And her voice, her voice, what can I do but say

LISTEN TO THAT VOICE!!!

It's raspy, it's resonant, it's full of pleasure waiting to be let out, and it's making me fall in love all over again. Hey Mrs Faithfull, can I marry your voice? Nothing wrong with your body, but I want only this one thing...

What was the other question? Aha, how does this song make me feel?
Lonely and loved and abandonded and safe and sad. Full of unfulfilled promises. And able to fulfill them all!


I've been in love with Marianne Faithfull's voice since I first heard her song Working Class Hero many years ago. But, being a girl myself, I soon learned that I was expected to answer Bob Dylan or at least Pink Floyd whan asked for any idols. So I quit liking music at all. It's just noise, right? Recently I've been shown that there's more than "noise" to all that noise. And I remembered that there was "noise" I used to like.

    I love Marianne Faithfull's voice too. You just converted me to become one of her fans.

    I'll check out her songs. This particular would definitely send me to sleep. It's a lullaby for me.

    Sorry for the not replying earlier. Life... It makes me happy to know that I'm not alone loving that wonderful voice! I hope you'll have many hours of pleasant listening! 💜

    I agree that the tune is lullaby-ish, but then it is about dreams, so it makes sense I think!

    She does, doesn't she? So many feels, and feelings, and so many songs. Most of them with a message of one kind or another!
    Sorry for the late reply, things happened. Now I'll go check what other entries there were, and maybe find something new to love!

    Marianne Faithfull's voice is really very soothing. I like her instrumentals too, everything just flows together.

    I haven't heard any of her pieces before now. I wonder where she's been all my life.

    Yeah, I feel the same, and I've known about her since my late 20's. But Marianne, where were you when I was 12, 16, 20? Probably just around the corner, if only I'd been brave enough to go look.

    Well well. Maybe you didn't need to hear her by that time.
