I've had this experience with several songs, over the years. Songs that do this for me are usually a right-on match of melody and lyric, or else (what seems to me to be) a remarkable musical achievement. Back in the 1960's a quirky group called the Cowsills produced "Rain, the Park, and Other Things," which most people remember as the "Flower Girl" song. It was stunning, and still is. Neil Sedaka has a gift for combining simple melodies and simple lyrics into a combination that transcends them both. The idea behind "Calendar Girl" is dopey, but the song is ideally crafted and flawlessly executed. There are several of his songs that make me want to stand up and cheer; not because of their "message" (let's face it, they're bubble gum songs), but because of the craftsmanship. If I could do *anything* as well as Sedaka writes popular music, I'd consider myself a success. And then there's Paul Simon. "Kodachrome" comes to mind; "Me & Julio Down By the Schoolyard," "Bridge Over Troubled Water" ... there are many of his as well.

"Down The Road"- Steve Earle. I almost look forward to break ups now so I can feel the full potential and magic of that song. In the words of Robert Earl Keen, "the beauty of sadness is, feeling the pain."
