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

Small bump by Ed Sheehan, listened to this on repeat after my miscarriage- felt so good to be able to cry hard...

Down by the River by Bruce Springsteen- perfect capture of small town, working class can't escape-ness of America...chocked me up when he takes about trading in his dreams for a union card and a wedding suit....

I have to walk away from the radio if Nothing Compares To U is on ... the song crushes me either Snead's or Prince's version

And I’d give up forever to touch you cause I know that you’d feel me somehow - Iris, Goo Goo Dolls

You were an angel in the shape of my Mum - Supermarket Flowers, Ed Sheeran

Now I have met an angel in person and she looks perfect - Perfect, Ed Sheeran. It was playing on the radio when my Mum was dying in hospital and it just summed up how I felt about her.

David Bowie Life on Mars is incredible. Work of art.

I heard one the other day that made me almost cry... I think it was One Step Closer by (I think?) Christina Aguilera

Yawning It's A Thousand Years by Christina Perri. It's beautiful.

I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Two ones that make me think of my nephew who died as a baby.
Blessed be your name by Matt Redman
"lessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's 'all as it should be'
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name"

And from In Christ Alone:
"From life's first cry to final breath"

Both were fairly new songs when he died.

And an older one: Bookends which is a Simon and Garfunkel one, about growing old:
"Preserve your memories, they're all that's left you."

One that surprised me because I'd only ever heard Bette Midler do it, was Randy Newman singing I Think it's Going Rain Today. Holy crap, that's a heartbreaker. Goosebumps and a lump in my throat every time. He doesn't have the best voice in the world but the emotion in it is tangible.

When Enrique sings..

".... have I lost my mind... and just that bit.... in Hero.... every time....

I nearly have an orgasm.

Every freakin' time

My heart is fine though

I have lots!

All of Tracy Chapman’s Fast Car, but especially this part:

You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way

Sweet Disposition by the Temper Trap:

Our rights, our wrongs
A moment, a love
a dream, a laugh
A moment, a love
a dream, a laugh

So stay there
'Cause I'll be coming over
While our blood's still young
It's so young, it runs
Won't stop 'til it's over
Won't stop to surrender

All of On Top of the World by Imagine Dragons which makes me very nostalgic for a wonderful time in my life.

When We Were Young by Adele gets me too.

Also Everybody Hurts by R.E.M. It was played at the funeral of a lad I knew who died whilst travelling.

Something Inside So Strong always makes me cry because it was played at my cousin’s funeral. She was plagued by a horrible illness and fought so hard.

"Love may have died and love may grow cold but with you forever I'll stay"

Springsteen.

Oh and George Micheal First Time Ever I saw your Face.

Also Nightswimming by R.E.M

Joni Mitchell River but sang by Allison Crowe.

This bit;
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

Oooh I love this!

A couple I like are:

Greenday Good riddance (time of your life) the whole song, it's just perfect (if a bit short!).

Also walking in Memphis
"Tell me are you a Christian, child? Ma'am I am tonight!"

Johnny Cash's version of Hurt

GooGoo Dolls Iris, Jose Gonzalas heartbeat and Kate bush this woman’s work and Annie Lennox ‘why’ all make my cry.

Repeat the sounding joy - I think those words are so beautiful.

This is a song by Jim Croce. I can’t bear to listen to it now....

Photographs and memories
Christmas cards you sent to me
All that I have are these
To remember you
Memories that come at night
Take me to another time
Back to a happier day
When I called you mine
But we sure had a good time
When we started way back when
Morning walks and bedroom talks
Oh how I loved you then
Summer skies and lullabies
Nights we couldn't say good-bye
And of all of the things that we knew
Not a dream survived
Photographs and memories
All the love you gave to me
Somehow it just can't be true
That's all I've left of you
But we sure had a good time
When we started way back when
Morning walks and bedroom talks
Oh how I loved you then

Wires by Athlete

Adele When We Were Young
I always feel so emotional at the lines "We're so sad at getting old it makes us restless, I'm so mad at getting old it makes me reckless "

How can she, so young, know these feelings?

Iris, The GooGoo Dolls "And I don't want the world to see me, cos I don't think that they'll understand. When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am" and loads of that song

Great thread btw , bet we could all list loads.
