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

One other that hasn’t been mentioned.

Alanis Morissette- your house.

Months after splitting with my ex and feeling like I had finally moved on I heard this song and it destroyed me. It’s about wanting to be in his house, just to remember how it was when they were together but she finds a letter from his new lover and realises they are really over.

Someone mentioned above piece by piece by Kelly Clarkson. Even though I am lucky to have never had that pain in my life of my dad walking away if destroys me every time.

She said it live on American idol (can be found on YouTube) and she cries as she sings it. The pain is so real to her that her dad didn’t want her until she was famous.

Take good care of my baby by Bobby Vee.

Takes me back to when I had just had my DD (6 weeks early) and I was laying in the hospital bed just willing to hold her in my arms.
She was in NICU with a terrible infection.

Still puts a lump in my throat, even now.

And my dad's probably had a bloody hard day
But he's been good fun and bubblin and joking away
And the procession of cars stuck behind
Are getting more impatient and angry but we don't mind

They tell me your blue sky's faded to gray
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carrying on
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces every time

You have been loved by George Michael

Lukas Graham, You’re not there

Daniel, Elton John, always reminds me of my brother who died in 1976. Many other songs connected to him. Loved the Pink Floyd stuff earlier.
Bridge over troubled waters, Simon and Garfunkel, their harmony and the purity of their voices
Susan Boyle on BGT, I dreamed a dream. I’d never heard the song before and it was amazing.
I’m new to MN and I’ve read this thread from the beginning and I’ve laughed, cried and sobbed all day. Thanks to all of you

Waiting in Vain by Bob Marley

There's loads if versions of The Green Fields of France but The version by The Men They couldn't hang always gets me!

Feather on the Clyde.. God knows I've failed but he knows that I've tried.

And I can't sing O Holy Night because it makes me cry but there's no reason really!

Some fantastic place by Squeeze
Will be one of my funeral songs

In my life - Beatles

I knew I loved you before I met you Savage Garden pulls my old heart strings

Romeo and Juliet by dire straits.

Love this!
McFly - Love is easy.
I love them, walked out the church to this after we married, and some lyrics were in husband wedding speech "if this is love then love is easy, it's the easiest thing to do. If this is love then love completes me, coz I feel like I've been missing you"
Another McFly - The heart never lies.
This live was just absolutely the best thing I've heard and still gives me that feeling. Also just love the words "If you wanna fight
I'll stand right beside you
The day that you fall
I'll be right behind you"
Guaranteed tears is Bette Middler, wind beneath my wings. My grandmas funeral song

Kirsty MacColl - Days (played at my sister's funeral)

Another one: Faithless, I want my family back. The last verse gets me every time.

Infinite Child- fletcher Pilon. He wrote it for his brother who died in an accident a few months earlier

Morrisey - Come Back To Camden

Your leg came to rest against mine
Then you lounged with knees up and apart
And me and my heart, we knew
We just knew
For evermore

All of the above, plus a song by the Korgis, Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime.

Had almost forgotten about it until it was on Ashes to Ashes on the Drama channel. Gave me goosebumps.

OP your Will Young song I'm glad that you've recovered from whatever the surgery was for. That song reminds me of my ex but for different reasons, it was very early in the relationship when I first heard it and liked it but ultimately he turned out to be the person in the song who couldn't do all of those things.

There's one which I heard in a new light recently, Joshua Radin - One of those Days.

I realised that it is about a bereavement.

Wait right here
Was all she said to me
And so right here I stay
Time has reached our home
And I've been left alone
It's carried her away
And everyone keeps saying
Nothing helps but time
Time is all I own
Time won't stop replaying over in my mind
I watch the hours slow down

Also Taylor Swift - never grow up

Played at my daughters nursery graduation to moving images of the kids at play .... beautiful !

Small bump - ed sheeran

Photographs - ed sheeran

YY to Rule the World by Take That.

Rule the world by take that after I heard it was played a a local child's funeral.

I sang You've Got A Friend to my mum as she died. Can't hear it now without crying.
The Pogues Thousands Are Sailing:
"Did you work upon the railroad
Did you rid the streets of crime
Did you buy a shot at happiness from the five and dime?"
Ronnie Drew singing And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda is one of the most heart-wrenching recordings I can think of. All the more so for his absolutely straight delivery.
