have you ever heard a song that left you speechless?

[Tobythecat]

A song that really touched your soul?

I just stumbled upon a song on youtube for the first time and it made me feel so many emotions that i just cant explain.

The song was 'sailing' by Christopher Cross.

Stay With Me - Ironik

Great thread. YY to lots already mentioned, Hope There's Someone, Into My Arms, This Woman's Work, Song To The Siren.

Where Is My Mind by The Pixies stopped me in my tracks the first time I heard it.

Who knows where the time goes by Sandy Denny, 1952 Vincent Black Lightning by Richard Thompson and Meet on the ledge by Fairport. All of them are just breathtaking.

And not usually my thing at all but In The Deep by Bird York makes me weep. Very cathartic.

Kenny Chesney - don't blink

Kelly Clarkson does a live version of her song piece by piece that makes me ugly cry

And Lady Antebellum Hello world

Whiskey lullaby by Brad Paisley and Alison Kraus.

countingto10
I feel the same about Cats in the cradle but much prefer the version by Ugly Kid Joe. Stops me everytime.

Songbird by Fleetwood Mac. Just beautiful.

Got to Prince purple rain for me .for a man so confident he went through alot in his life .also a thousand years Christina perri my eldest dd was a baby when it came out after been told was infertile boom it happened .song still makes me cry now

Song for Guy (life, isn't everything) Elton John.

So many Leonard Cohen songs, but especially Night Comes On. There's a line in it 'I said Mother, I'm frightened, the thunder and the lightning, I'll never come through this alone. She said I'll be with you, my shawl wrapped around you, my hand on your head when you go.'

I had it on my playlist when I was giving birth to DS last year and the birth was pretty traumatic. I kept thinking about this wee boy, and how I needed to bring him into the world safely. Getting a lump in my throat thinking about it now.

Also Landslide by Fleetwood Mac. DSis recently broke up with her longterm partner and was in such a bad way. This song popped up on shuffle and when I heard the line 'I've been afraid of changing cause I built my life around you' I burst out crying because I was so sad for DSis and the life she had thought she would have.

The Baby by Blake Shelton

Listening to Bridge by Quensryche is always heart rendering.

Passenger -
All the lights
Let her go
Snow Patrol- Chasing Cars

The Green Fields of France - Eric Bogle
Alison Kraus and Shania Twain's version of Coat of Many Colours, which they sang a live version of in front of Dolly Parton.
Am an atheist but somehow Abide with Me gets me every time.
And Elgar's Nimrod.

The first time I heard Regina Spector - Laughing With, I was so emotional and I just stopped what I was doing and listened to the song and cried. I was grieving deeply at the time so that probably contributed but it was so powerful.

Mystery of Love by Sufjan Stevens. I am a huge fan of his anyway but when I first heard this song I was almost knocked flat. It still affects me like that. Bloody beautiful.

Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son. Supernatural was the first time I heard it and it still gets me

Make you feel my love by Adele. Not my kind of music normally at all. I heard it when I was 12 weeks pregnant with DC1. I was having a real wobble about being pregnant and whether I could cope, worrying about money etc. I was driving to work when it came on the radio and I had to pull over because I started to cry. All of the lyrics are exactly about the most important thing a baby needs, to feel love. I still can't listen to it without seeing DC1's tiny newborn face.

Loch Lomond by Runrig reminds me of my late grandfather he was so lovely and Tears in Heaven but Eric Clapton so sad

So many!
These spring to mind immediately.

Angel by Sepultura (cover of the Massive Attack original)

Into My Arms by Nick Cave

Innocent When You Dream by Tom Waits

Just so many.

Fickle season - Belle and Sebastian
I get along without you very well - Chet Baker
Dance me to the end of love - Madeline Peyroux
Shiver - Natalie Imbruglia
Walking after you - Foo Fighters
Mr Blue Sky - ELI
Something changed - Pulp

And of course, especially after last May.

Don't look back in anger - Oasis

Everybody hurts by R.E.M.
Sound of silence any version
Hazard richard marx

Leaving the table - Leonard Cohen
Ballad of the absent mare - Leonard Cohen
When the deal goes down - Bob Dylan

He’s a good lad By Bread. My ds is 17 now but this song has always made me think of him right from when he was small. Because he really is 😄
