I should avoid these topics like the plague, as once I start I can't stop!!! I once did a "soundtrack to your life" survey on myspace and obsessed over it for 3 hours!
I've thought of a fair few though, here they are: *10CC - I'm not in Love *Abba - Winner takes it all *Snow Patrol - You could be happy *Michael Bolton - How am I supposed to live without you? *The Goo Goo Dolls - Iris/Black Balloon *Phil Collins - Against all odds *Damien Rice - Cannonball/Blowers daughter *Rod Stewart - Handbags and Glad rags *The Beatles - Yesterday *The Cars - Who's gonna drive you home? *Madonna - Power of goodbye *Dido - Here with me *No Doubt - Don't speak *Toni Braxton - Unbreak my heart *Tony Rich Project - Nobody Knows *Take That - Back for good *Bonnie Raitt - I can't make you love me *Fleetwood Mac - Go your own Way *Smashing Pumpkins - Disarm *Elton John - Candle in the wind/Sorry seems to be the hardest word *Tracy Chapman - ALL OF THEM! *Will Young - Leave right now (this one really gets to me for some reason!) And there we have it!!!

What a great thread
I find Dance With My Father by Luther Vandross incredibly moving, even though I don't really relate to it personally. It's just sung so beautifully and it's so very sad Also, Fields of Athenry (Paddy Reilly) is another one I can't listen to without sniffling. Songbird by Eva Cassidy has such lovely angelic qualities, but I also love I Know You By Heart and her version of Time After Time. Lastly, Honey, by Bobby Goldsboro. Like Dance With My Father it's a beautifully sung, and very sad, song. |

May I just .. Goo Goo Doll fans.. you have good taste..
The ones that I think are emotional, or have deeper messages and meanings or just plain sad are as follows.. Goo Goo Dolls... of course..may i just say.. they AWESOME live.. and no Ronan is not better at all.. and they didn't give their personal permission for him to cover it either.. the it being.. Iris - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9F4LjSb_Cs also.. Without You Here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoCdqSgSiXU - ignore the fan vid its attached to.. its a new favourite of mine and completely beautiful... plus.. Better Days - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4MH8s1ZBtg - has a real message to it... Another song that's amazing.. Lifehouse's "Everything" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBHZ4nz7gd4 - again set to another fanvid (Roswell) but it wierdly fits the song.. AAAAAAND.. Dishwalla "Collide" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQvEQFiG19I - attached to another fan vid (harry potter).. These are songs that I find really hit me.. they may not make you feel sad.. but they are truly emotional in my eyes.. |

P P Arnold "The First Cut in the Deepest" - recovering from a bruised heart
Labi Siffre "(Something inside) So Strong" - we WILL overcome our oppressors, whoever they are some traditional songs are pretty emotional - "Danny Boy" (or the hymn "I cannot tell" which uses the tune aka "Londonderry Air") "In the Bleak Midwinter" (by Rosetti) I love the line "earth lay cold as iron, water like a stone" "Hearts of Oak" must have been pretty rousing too, back when the navy actively defended our shores "Over the hills and far away" - another oldie about having to go to war |

Blue - Breathe Easy (Video) (Live at Wembley)
Lee's voice in this is so awe-inspiringly, bone-chillingly, hauntingly good....they all are, but Lee's voice really stands out. Others are: Daniel Bedingfield - You're Not The One Audioslave - Be Yourself The Corrs - Runaway Kelly Clarkson - Because of You (this one particularly!) Massive Attack - Teardrop |

Thanks for reminding me of that one - it's so beautiful and haunting, but also quite waspish in its humour.

For me it has to be Puff Daddy and Faith Evans - I'll be missing you.
It doesn't sound like a sad or emotional song but when you actually listen to the lyrics you do find yourself feeling sad and maybe even shredding a tear or 2 Other songs which do sound Sad/Emotional, for me, are Kelly Clarkson - Because of you Destiny's Child - Emotion Whitney Houston - I will always love you |
