In reply to the discussion: Songs So Sad They Made You Wanna Cry [View all]Glorfindel
(9,743 posts)81. As a young gay man when the album came out, that song was like an icicle to the heart

Riding up the hills from the beach in the long summer grass
Holding the sun in his hands and shattering the isinglass?"
