Sooo many songs make me cry - sometimes it's just nostalgia. Just recently I've had Then Jerico's The Motive going through my mind. It just triggers some poignant feelings for me.
"Goodbye my friend it hard to die, when all the birds are singing in the sky."
The former is evocative and uplifting, the latter just bloody depressing. When Kate Bush is on my radio, I turn it up, when Terry Jacks is played, I change channel.
Britney Spears - Everytime
Luther Vandross - Dance With My Father
Miranda Lambert - Over You
Bellefire - Can't Cry Hard Enough
Westlife - I'll See You Again
Bonnie Raitt - I Can't Make You Love Me
Darius Campbell - Live Twice
Caledonia - I reckon only Scottish people will get how emotional this song is.
Luka by Suzanne Vega
Clouds Across The Moon by Rah Band
Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime by The Korgis
Can't listen to any of these without welling up big time.
One that never fails to have me bawling is
Summer (The First Time) by Bobby Goldsboro, it came on Radio Two on Tuesday morning and I had to turn it off before the tears came, I still welled up though!
All absolutely beautiful songs but I just can't listen to them without bawling!
Also 'In This Life' by Madonna from her Erotica album, she sings it so beautifully and puts her heart and soul into it.
No one but you - Queen
Heaven for everyone - Queen, I can't listen to it because for some warped reason when it was released it really brought home to me that Freddie was dead and never coming back - even tho there was new music!
Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton, goes with out saying.
Ronan - Taylor Swift. Just devastating
Fly Away - Celine Dion. Written about her little niece that died.
When Love and Hate Collide - Def Leppard. "if you would only change your mind"
Lionel Richie- Three times a lady: It was my Nan's favourite song. I can never make it through the song.
Luther Vandross- Dance with my father : Anyone who's been through bereavement can probably understand this one.
Celine Dion- Dance with my father : Just to make things better, after Luther died, Celine covered this on an album dedicated to him..I was a huge fan of his, and I have only ever listened to this version once.
There was that DJ Sammy song, heaven maybe? They did a 9/11 version with a little girl that always leaves me in floods.
There's quite a few Carrie Underwood tracks I find difficult, including starts with goodbye.
Thanks to the previous poster for the Taylor Swift one, Ronan, don't think I can listen to that again.
Comments
Yes.
Do listen to the original version of this song, by Jacques Brel. It is edgier and very different from the sickly sentimental American translation sung by TJ.
Play Jacques not Jacks!
U2- One
My Immortal, Lost in Paradise, Lithium....
Luther Vandross - Dance With My Father
Miranda Lambert - Over You
Bellefire - Can't Cry Hard Enough
Westlife - I'll See You Again

God bless you and him always!!!

P.S. To me, his live performance of this song is where it is all at.
Everyday - Britney Spears (unreleased ballad)
This is on the shortlist for songs I want played at my funeral.
Leona Lewis - Come Alive (acoustic)
Also 'In This Life' by Madonna from her Erotica album, she sings it so beautifully and puts her heart and soul into it.

i heard it at Glasto on Sunday and looked them up BAM!! instant emotional response!!
Beautiful melody, simply sung. with such a heartbreaking lyric which always stops me in my tracks.
Farewell is a lonely sound and my favourite album Sunrise.
Who Wants to Live Forever by Queen
The Living Years by Mike and the Mechanics
Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles
Nobody Wins by Elton John
Definitely in a similar vein I would add the less well known
Amanda Marshall -Dark Horse
