What song makes you cry

Mine is Sorry seems to be the hardest word. Years ago OH had a terrible row and went nearly 2 days without talking. He played that song to me , I cried, he cried , we cuddled , we talked and all was right with the world again. Whenever I hear it it takes me back and makes me well up.

Annie’s Song by John Denver
Romeo and Juliet by Dire Strairs or The Killers
Don’t let the sun go down on me by George Michael and Elton John (only that version)
Ode to Billie Joe by - well all versions, but I love Sinead O’connors, where you can hear a baby cry
Both sides now by Joni Mitchell
River by Sarah McLachlan
Vienna by Billy Joel

Probably lots more. I cry quite a lot, not necessarily because I’m upset, but if things move me.

See you again by Charlie puth. There’s loads that make me cry, some already mentioned, but that makes me sob. Even now after hearing it so often.

There are loads.
Always guaranteed to make me blub is Nothing Compares To U .. just the opening bars do it.

Dark Roman Wine .. not sure why, think it is the emotion in Gary Lightbody's voice.

'If you must leave,
Leave as though fire burns under your feet
If you must speak,
Speak every word as though it were unique
If you must die, sweetheart
Die knowing your life was my life's best part
If you must die,
Remember your life'

Thousand years, don't know who it's by.

Us against the world, Coldplay. I heard it when pregnant with my miracle baby. Years of infertility and repeated miscarriages, it kind of resonated with me carrying the baby we thought we would never have.
It's the words.

Everybody hurts

We'll meet again
Somewhere over the rainbow. It was mum's favorite song. Strangely enough it was actually playing on the radio just after she'd passed and the Doctor let us go back in and see her and Its certainly not an over played song, and The peace in that room was just completely indescribable. It seems crazy to say it about the time your mum died but I just wish I could have bottled that feeling up. I nearly crying here.
You'll never walk alone. Dads favorite song. The was an avid Red. Obviously played at his funeral. He'd have came down and grounded me if I hadn't.Grin
Something inside so strong
Part of me.
