Billy Bragg - Tank Park Salute (1991)

Kiss me goodnight and say my prayers Leave the light on at the top of the stairs Tell me the names of the stars up in the sky A tree taps on the window pane That feeling smothers me again Daddy is ...

Just saw him tonight in Edmonton. He was brilliant. I'd never heard this song before--tonight it brought me to tears, as it made me think of my dad, who I lost 10 years ago...

I'm a twenty-something lady and have not listened to Billy Bragg until today. I am now in love.

and to think that when I was 20 songs like Tank Park Salute or Trust bored me. I´m glad I´m 40 now.

I know what you mean. When I was younger I like his political stuff. But now I'm 40, both of my parents have passed, and it really does change how you hear the music.

I can't play the song anymore. When I get to the "like a pale moon in the sunny sky...."I have to stop. I get too choked up.

Check out Bruce Cockburn's "Pacing the cage." He is much like Bragg. famous for the political stuff, but so much more.

Wow, this has me crying. I lost my dad just 21 days ago. What a beautiful song.
