    Surprised you did not mention Onion Soup's "Slipping Into The Pan" which is even better than that other great hit they had "Saucey Times".

    No such thing as a best song, but no best song list should be complete without something from Queen. Here's a gem I rediscovered the other day while listening to their albums.

    Partisan Leonard Cohan

    When they poured across the border
    I was cautioned to surrender
    This I could not do
    I took my gun and vanished.

    I have changed my name so often
    I've lost my wife and children
    But I have many friends
    And some of them are with me

    An old woman gave us shelter
    Kept us hidden in the garret
    Then the soldiers came
    She died without a whisper

    There were three of us this morning
    I'm the only one this evening
    But I must go on
    The frontiers are my prison

    Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing
    Through the graves the wind is blowing
    Freedom soon will come
    Then we'll come from the shadows

    Les Allemands étaient chez moi
    Ils me dirent, "résigne toi"
    Mais je n'ai pas peur
    J'ai repris mon âme

    J'ai changé cent fois de nom
    J'ai perdu femme et enfants
    Mais j'ai tant d'amis
    J'ai la France entière

    Un vieil homme dans un grenier
    Pour la nuit nous a caché
    Les Allemands l'ont pris
    Il est mort sans surprise

    Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing
    Through the graves the wind is blowing
    Freedom soon will come
    Then we'll come from the shadows

    I know this is subjective, but there are some songs that are so deep and meaningful that they touch you on a personal level. This song always gets me through the hard times xox

    Absolutely brilliant. I quite like Billy Joel but hadn't heard that.
