Elastic Heart by Sia - The music video itself has a close meaning to Sia but a lot of other people myself included have taken an interpetation of their own away, me included, it hits pretty deep sometimes.

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.

Me & A Gun by Tori Amos too.

Joe Dolce 'Shaddap You Face'.

Anything by Jedward.
In fact, just seeing Jedward.

Has anyone heard of, err, classical music? That funny near 400 or so year old tradition including Bach, Mozart, Chopin etc?

Yeah I know, showbiz forum and all that. Still...

Here's three for the price of one:

It wouldn't be of any interest to anyone

I read the first 14 posts, then clicked on this link to see what it was, then read your comment. It brought tears to my eyes. I don't want to read any more of this thread, sorry, but I'll contribute this, which I found quite moving: CeeLo Green - "Robin Williams"

Suzanne Vega - Luka
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZt7J0iaUD0

Dolly Parton - Me and Little Andy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_P6UqlX-NQ

Both make me tear up.

Shouldn't this be in the Music forum?

Till we meet again


Several versions on U tube including Margaret Whiting

Yes. Beethoven's 6th always, always makes me cry - but with joy, not sorrow.

Awakening of pleasant feelings on arrival in the countryside - the brook (which is now a culvert, btw) and the giant peasant gods dancing...

It is joy.

Songs which make me cry are:-

Nobody's Child by Karen Young
Alone Again Naturally by Gilbert O'Sullivan
Seasons In The Sun by Terry Jacks
Puppy Love by Donny Osmond
Thank You For Being A Friend by Billy Joel
Somewhere Out There by Patti La Belle and Peabo Bryson
Mama by The Spice Girls
I Won't Last A Day Without You by The Carpenters
Goodbye To Love by The Carpenters
We'll Meet Again by Vera Lynn
You've Got A Friend by James Taylor
Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel
Wind Beneath My Wings by Bette Midler
Right Here Waiting by Richard Marks
Streets Of London by Ralph McTell
Tears In Heaven by Eric Clapton
Father and Son by Cat Stevens (also the Boyzone version)
The Living Years by Mike and the Mechanics

There are probably quite a few more which I will probably add to this list at a later date when I remember them.

Angel by Sarah McLachlan. Gets me every time.

Also, the hymns I Watch the Sunrise and How Great Thou Art as they remind me of family members' funeral.

Bless you, and much love to your dad

I know a lot of people didn't like 'The Office' but the soundtrack always brings tears to my eyes. The lyrics don't seem to make much sense, but ....

https://youtu.be/51GuG6N2qHE

.... and then there's this, a classical choice which I had played at my Dad's funeral and will want it played at mine! It's just not long enough, though .....

https://youtu.be/9MqTvfXIzug

I Left My Heart in Papworth General by Half Man Half Biscuit

Angie - Rolling Stones

A Song for You - Temptations

Both remind me of the most bitter/sweet time in my life.

Edit - Lots of movie themes also make me cry too - Brokeback Mountain, Dances with Wolves, Raging Bull, Out of Africa, and many, many more.

Slipping Through My Fingers by ABBA

It's about a mum's regret about how quickly her daughter has grown and is off to school. I usually skip it on the album to be honest, and if I do get to the end I'm a mess. I'm not even a mother but I kind of think about it from the little girl's point of view. Unless you're very lucky, adult life is hard and full of disappointments, things we all thought we'd do years ago but never did, a bit like the words of the song. I think sometimes we'd all like to go back to that part of childhood around 5 to about 7 or 8 and start again, just enjoy a simple life with mum and dad and siblings again for a while and then maybe make different choices as we grow. But the song just rams home the point that once a happy time has gone, its gone.

It's part of why I get annoyed when some people on the music forum say ABBA are 'cheesy', even if you don't like them, they wrote songs that mean a lot to a lot of people.

Beautiful choice.

See you again by Wiz Khalifa is a recent song that puts a lump in my throat.

This one always reminds me of my daughter growing up, her daughter is now nearly 18 and has a little girl of her own. A song which every Mother with a daughter can relate to.
