Don't know why either. Seems a bit silly, but I can't help it.

Great song......:)
I was a bit surprised to see on that Reginald D Hunter show about The South that this song was written by Tony Joe White who I remember as a one hit wonder with Polk Salad Annie in the 1960 !
I sleep with the radio on, very low, at night. Some months ago I woke up crying my eyes out, because https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaKr9gWqwl4 was on the radio and the lyrics just really resonate with me, remind me of the lost love of my life. It was a weird experience though, must have crept into my subconscious.
The song I chose for my mothers funeral by myself.
In the late 90's we went on holiday in california and we borrowed my dad's friend's minivan while he took his family to seattle and my dad played that song so many times that my sister asked "can we change the music? I've had enough of it's a rainy night in georgia"
Also the Gladiator song 'Now we are free'.
Oh come on!!! Give us a clue as to what he did.
reminds me of my mum and childhood.
That's one of my favourite songs ever.The video matches it perfectly.Both very sad.
Seemed to be playing all the time as my mum was dying of cancer.
This has me crying big time, I'll Keep You Safe by Sleeping At Last, from the Nationwide advert.
My dad has alzheimer's, so the ad where the dad gives his son back the scarf already had me, but the words, I'll keep you safe, now apply to me keeping him safe as he kept me safe when I was younger.

Magnificent voice, wonderful song, magnificent lyrics (probably a bit risque for the time)
My late Mum and Dad were big fans of Ella and I bought them a CD of her Greatest Hits only to find out that they didn't have a CD player........so I kept it and became a big fan myself.
Oh yes, that too
It's weird that. I don't know if we're just more 'aware' at times like that.
It was similar when my mum was in ICU. We'd just been told she had only a couple of days left. Driving home that night for a rest it was Wet Wet Wet's 'If I never see you again' on the radio. About finished me off. My brother kept hearing Il Divo's 'Mama' everywhere he went for the rest of that week.
Those seem to be the ones which have stayed with me and make me feel more emotional than the funeral songs we chose
Can't listen to this in public. Tears, snot, the full works.
It probably means I come over as rather emotionless, but it's my coping strategy. Stoicism is the word, I guess. The only time I let it get to me I ended up driving the car into a wall! I fear losing it could happen if a song gets to me, and if I lose it I may not get it back.
Laughter helps too, my Mum jokes about death a lot, she's very humourous even now.
ETA: Apologies, that was rather off-topic but very cathartic
That's another cracker.I remember them using it for an NSPCC ad a few years back.
Chandelier by Sia - Again, another song which hits pretty close to home, by Sia. There was one week where I didn't stop drinking, and at one point I thought it was all coming to an end.
Doll Parts by Hole
Love the Way You Lie P1/P2 by Eminem/Rihanna - Relationship, pretty self explanatory.
I'm quite the sappy type, songs like these helped me when I wouldn't help myself, or wouldn't accept anybody else's help.
