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

She was singing that on an old 80's TOTP's a few weeks ago.As Olivia Newton-John who was co-hosting said 'that lady can sing!'.

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 !

Funnily enough one of the songs that makes me weep is also by Randy Crawford, but it's One Day I'll Fly Away https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyBawdr7Mgk

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.

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"

Queen - We Are The Champions always makes me feel proper sad. Just reminds me of a special day out that was completely ruined by my ex best friend ....

I prefer the Brook Benson version. It is a wonderful song.

Andrea Bocelli 'Con te Partiro'(Time to say goodbye).That would bring a tear to even a glass eye.

Also the Gladiator song 'Now we are free'.

When I first heard it I was speechless. Its power is not only in the song but the lifetime that went with it. ,

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.

Ella Fitzgerald - Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fzZ4l2H5-w

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.

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

This Woman's Work, Kate Bush.

Can't listen to this in public. Tears, snot, the full works.

Now that we know for sure that Mum's only got a few months left, if that, I find it very hard to listen to very emotional songs and do tend to change the channel very quickly. I tend to compartmentalise my feelings, it's the only way I could cope with all the things I've had to deal with with my daughter, I am using the same technique with Mum or else I'd get nothing done.

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

My immortal by Evanessance. Certain parts of the song remind me of my feelings towards my mothers death. I struggle to hear it without crying.

That's another cracker.I remember them using it for an NSPCC ad a few years back.
