Anyone else have songs, or bits of songs that make your heart hurt?

AutumnChill Marc Almond and Dave Ball wrote Say Hello, Wave Goodbye

Ladies I'm loving this thread - I have kept my Alexa busy listening to a lot of these songs that I hadn't heard of before and some I had. My music library is now very full with some beautiful emotional songs.

Hugs for everyone who has suffered losses of loved ones

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky
But why
Why
Why can't it be
Why can't it be mine

also
Sloe gin, sloe gin
Tryin' to wash away the pain inside
Well, I'm sick and I'm all done in
And I'm standin' in the rain
And I feel like I'm gonna cry

to be a bit more cheerful
if the sun refused to shine,
I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea,
There will still be you and me.

Kind woman, I give you my all.
Kind woman, nothing more.

Little drops of rain
Whisper of the pain.
Tears of love lost in the days gone by.

My love is strong,
With you there is no wrong.
Together we shall go until we die.

My, my, my.

An inspiration's what you are to me.
Inspiration, look, see.

And so today my world—it smiles,
Your hand in mine, we walk the miles,
Thanks to you it will be done,
For you to me are the only one.

Alright, yeah

Happiness: no more be sad,
Happiness: I'm glad.

If the sun refused to shine,
I would still be loving you.
Mountains crumble to the sea,
There will still be you and me.

Lovely!

So many... this from Comfortably Numb by the Floyd:
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone
I have become comfortably numb.

The whole of Shine On, You Crazy Diamond and the album Dark Side of the Moon, pretty much.
Vincent by Don McClean

Ride On by Christy Moore
the Needle and the Damage Done by Neil Young
It's Over by Roy Orbison
Without You by Nilsson
These ones are in the delivery as well as the lyrics.

And, more than anything else, ever, Gortoz a Ran by Denez Prigent and Lisa Gerrard - I can't understand a word, as it's in Breton, but I don't need to... has me in bits every time.

This will sound stupid but for me, it is the theme tune to Ben & Hollys Little Kingdom.

It was DD1s favourite programme when she was tiny and it reminds me of her babyhood. I struggled so much after she was born but she made me so happy at the same time.

It gives me a pain in my chest when I hear it.

Old and wise -Alan Parsons protect-
I will have it at played at my funeral

Oh, loads have come to me now

Driving with the brakes on - Del Amitri

Most things by The Smiths
Next Life - Suede
I still believe - Miss Saigon

And that Kelly Clarkson song about fathers that has made me cry like an absolute idiot the few times I've heard it:

And all I remember is your back
Walking towards the airport, leaving us all in your past
I traveled fifteen hundred miles to see you
I begged you to want me, but you didn’t want to
But piece by piece, he collected me up
Off the ground, where you abandoned things
Piece by piece he filled the holes that you burned in me at six years old and you know
He never walks away
He never asks for money
He takes care of me
He loves me
Piece by piece, he restores my faith
That a man can be kind and the father could, stay

And all of your words fall flat
I made something of myself and now you wanna come back
But your love, it isn’t free, it has to be earned
Back then I didn’t have anything you needed so I was worthless
But piece by piece, he collected me up
Off the ground, where you abandoned things
Piece by piece he filled the holes that you burned in me
Six years old and you know
He never walks away
He never asks for money
He takes care of me
'Cause he loves me
Piece by piece, he restored my faith
That a man can be kind and a father could, stay

Piece by piece
Piece by piece I fell far from the tree
I will never leave her like you left me
And she will never have to wonder her worth
Because unlike you I’m going to put her first and you know
He’ll never walk away,
He’ll never break her heart
He’ll take care of things, he’ll love her
Piece by piece, he restored my faith
That a man can be kind and the father should be great
Piece by piece
Piece by piece

ABBA - The Day Before You Came

And since my mum died, any time I hear Hurt by Christina Aguilera, I become uncontrollably hysterical - I'm really not a fan but the lyrics are so accurate:

Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face
You told me how proud you were, but I walked away
If only I knew what I know today
Ooh, ooh

I would hold you in my arms
I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you've done
Forgive all your mistakes

There's nothing I wouldn't do
To hear your voice again
Sometimes I wanna call you
But I know you won't be there

Ohh I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you

Some days I feel broke inside but I won't admit
Sometimes I just wanna hide 'cause it's you I miss
And it's so hard to say goodbye
When it comes to this

Would you tell me I was wrong?
Would you help understand?
Are you looking down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?

There's nothing I wouldn't do
To have just one more chance
To look into your eyes
And see you looking back

Ohh I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself, ohh

If I had just one more day
I would tell you how much that I've missed you
Since you've been away
Ooh, it's dangerous
It's so out of line
To try and turn back time

I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you

I've lost everyone I loved in the last 15 years so these words get me everytime:

So in the stillness of the moment
Make sure you take a Polaroid picture
And keep it with you forever
To remind yourself that everything changes
But there was this one time
There was this one time
When things were okay...

And Frank Sinatras 'My Way' which we played at my Dads funeral.

Bonjovi Its my life always makes me smile. Me and DH loved dancing to that when we were dating.

Open arms, by elbow (I moved away and often get homesick, this brings instant tears every time)

So with finger rolls and folding chairs
And a volley of streamers
We can be there for tweaks and repairs
Should you come back home

We got open arms for broken hearts
Like yours my boy, come home again

Ooh and forgot Eric Clapton Tears in heaven absolutely breaks my heart.

Carol King
"When the skies above you grow dark and full of clouds and that old north wind begins to howl, keep your head together and CALL my name out loud and soon you'll hear me knocking at your door"

Reminds me of my late DM who loved Carol King and who I wish so much was still here.

Abba: The Winner Takes It All (especially "I don't want to talk/if it makes you feel sad/And I understand/You've come to shake my hand"). Shivers-down-the-spine stuff...

Bit of an odd one but my mum loved it so we played it at her funeral,, brings a tear to my eye every time I play it.

Dolly Parton - when Jesus come calling for me

When I was a child I recall and old man; everybody loved old Zeke
He was all alone, his family was gone; one day he said to me

I'm just sitting here thinking about Jesus, rocking as my old chair creaks
Some glad day I'll fly away when Jesus comes calling for me
It might be today, it might be tomorrow, maybe one day next week
I'll soon be done with trouble and sorrow when He comes calling for me
When Jesus comes calling for me

When I die don't grieve and cry
Lordy, don't feel sorry for me
Oh what a day, what a mighty fine day
When Jesus comes calling for me
When He comes calling for me

I might be in the graveyard walking talking to my family
Or I might be plowing in the field down yonder, just old Muley and me
Wherever I am, whatever I'm a doing, some sweet day I'll see
A band of angels in a cloud of glory when Jesus comes calling for me
When He comes calling for me

When I die just close my eyes
And lay me beneath the willow tree
Oh what a day, what a mighty fine day
When Jesus comes calling for me
When Jesus comes calling for me

I'm just sitting here watching for Jesus, rocking as my old chair creaks
Some sweet day I'll fly away when Jesus comes calling for me
When He comes calling for me

When Joni Mitchell sings
"You said love is touching souls... Surely you touched mine cos part of you pours out of me in these lines from time to time" gets me everyone

maiden the JCB song gets me too. Dp would sing it all the time when ds1 was little and when I hear it it reminds me how much he's grown up and of him being little. He's 14 and it's all gone so fast!

Mine is mark Owen baby I'm no good (I'm aware this isn't cool)

'in the end when I've fallen
Face down in the rain
And you come back to ask me
What I lost, what I gained
I'd probably answer
I did all that I could
But it wasn't that much I'm afraid
Baby I'm no good.

Place marking so I can look back on this Friday night with my headphones on
And that's just the first post never mind the answers

Donna taggart- jealous of the angels
Auld Lang’s Syne- I lost both my parents my mum always loved New Years and my dad was a Scot.

Yes-white wine in the sun - love it

And James sometimes-the line 'sometimes I look in your eyes & I swear I can see your soul' often plays on a loop on my head

Also all of the Mark Kozelek album that's a cover of the AC/DC album-what's next to the moon. So beautiful-everyone go & listen to it right now if you haven't heard it!

So much by newton Faulkner

I wish you could see me
I'm flying, still don't know how
I owe you so much
I guess you knew that

I know that you would be proud of me
I hope you are
I owe you so much
I hope you knew that

There's so much of you in everything I do
Just wish that you were still around
But I'm following through, just could do so much more
If you were still around, were still around

I'm still here, still fighting
Still crazy, still trying
I owe you so much
I hope you knew that

There's so much of you in everything I do
Just wish that you were still around
But I'm following through just could do so much more
If you were still around

It's one thing time will not erase
My life would not have been the same
I miss you, I could use a friend
To run some things by you now and then

There's so much of you in everything I do
There's so much of you in everything I do
Just wish that you were still around, were still around

I wish you could see me
I'm flying

There's so much of you in everything I do
Just wish that you were still around
But I'm following through just could do so much more
If you were still around

It's one thing time will not erase
My life would not have been the same

I absolutely love you.
But we’re absolute beginners.

Cat's In The Cradle by Harry Chapin.
Gets me every single time.

Dumbledore and this line...

"Well, we might die from medication, but we sure killed all the pain"

Resonates with me on so many levels.
I love that whole album (I'm Wide Awake) so much; nice to meet a fellow fan
