What songs make you emotional?

[SimplySteve]

Just something I'm interested in.

Lene Marlin - A Place Nearby
Darren Hayes - Darkness
Gareth Emery - Too Dark Tonight
Evanescence - Swimming Home
Frainbreeze & Lucid Blue - Light My Way
Missing Hours - Everything Will Be Alright

Just a handful of mine!

Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U

I think it's the song plus the video combined that get me

Eric Clapton - tears in heaven
Don McLean - wonderful baby reminds me of the first baby I lost
Rod Stewart - Batman, Superman, Spider-Man I gave birth to my first son while this song was playing

Wild Horses - Rolling Stones
Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence - Glassjaw

I’m not a huge fan, but I used to sing ‘Your Song’ by Elton John to my firstborn when she was teeny tiny to get her to sleep, and it takes me back now

Pink floyd-wish you were here
Stone roses-10 storey love song

Angel by Sarah Mclachlan
Taylor Swift White Horse

Birdy- Not about Angels

Anybody singing "Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas", no idea why but gets me every time.

Also Alfie Boe singing "Bring Him Home"

East 17 a - Stay Another Day. It is about Tony Mortimer’s brother’s suicide. I saw an interview he gave once about it and i cry everytime i hear it. When you know what the song is about you really hear the lyrics and can picture the events.

The vid of Bloodstained Heart by Darren Hayes is a tear jerker, the song is about his sister. Stay Another Day indeed, David Cook - Permanent is about his terminally ill brother.

Baby Mine from Dumbo
One More Sleep by Leona Lewis
The hymn How Great Thou Art
Daniel by Elton John

Songbird by Eva Cassidy beautiful song played at my dads funeral in May so makes me cry to hear it now.

Flaming Lips - Do You Realize?
Super Furry Animals - Venus and Serena
Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl
Antony and the Johnsons - Hope There's Someone
Nick Cave - Into My Arms
Ella Fitzgerald - But Not For Me

Any of the versions of 9/11 Heaven (been done on different anniversaries from a young kid to the child's wedding day) - every single time.

Old Shep - Elvis version in particular.

The Old Rugged Cross, not because of it's lyrics per se but because it reminds me of my grandparents funerals.

And now I'm gonna have got earworms all night, grabbing the tissues now!

O Holy Night especially sung by Celine Dion
Feather on the Clyde by Passenger.

Songbird is utterly beautiful but as I’m more familiar with the Joni Mitchell version it has to be that one.

And the Roberta Flack version of First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

IGNORE WHAT I JUST SAID! I somehow got Songbird and Both Sides Now mixed up (I know, right?!) and I meant to say that I love Joni singing Both Sides Now.

Eva Cassidy singing Songbird is indeed the definitive version.

And, I must say, unbelievably beautiful.

Hurt - Johnny Cash

The Luckiest - Ben Folds
Butterfly Fly Away - Miley Cyrus
You Sang to Me - Marc Anthony

Slipping Through my Fingers - Abba
Good Morning Starshine - Oliver (brings me back to childhood)
Morningtown Ride - Seekers (same reason)
Cent Mille Chansons - Frida Boccara

La javanaise - Juliette Greco
Push the sky away - Nick Cave
Will you - Hazel O’Connor

OH, that Kate Bush one,
This Woman’s Work?

Mistletoe and Wine-
Rage is an emotion, right?

Ellie Golding - how long will I love you
