James Morrison just came on my Spotify playlist "the pieces don't fit anymore".

What a song! I feel like im re-living all my past breakups...

Love of my life, Queen

OldAndWornOut · 03/05/2019 19:42

Oh yes!!
I love that. Sad

For All We Know. If anyone saw last weeks episode of Pose you'll know why. Sobbed my heart out.

Danny Boy. I've heard it at too many funerals.

Breakout by Swing Out Sister. It was my late sisters favourite song. Just hearing the opening bars sends me right back to being 11, watching her get ready for a night down the disco.

Oh, and Into Your Arms by The Lemonheads. Teenage heartbreak!

BishopofBathandWells · 03/05/2019 20:05

Cat Stevens "Wild World". Pow pow! Straight in the feels.

MUjunkie · 03/05/2019 20:07

Lady gaga I’ll never love again! Just split up with the love of my life and it breaks my heart every time I hear it...I guess I should stop playing it but...

Stand by me by ben e King. Always finished the night clubbing t University and takes me back to when life was free.

Coldplay - Sky Full of Stars. It was on the radio lots at the time I found out that a dear friend had died. It reminds me of us swimming in phosphorescence on a carefree holiday in Thailand a long long time ago.

WeCameToDance · 03/05/2019 20:34

Never grow up and The best day by Taylor Swift always have me tearing up.
Mae by The Gaslight Anthem I swear is the most beautiful song written.
Polaroid Picture by Frank Turner. The last verse chokes me up.
I don't think I have ever listened to Supermarket Flowers in its entirety. Halfway though and I couldn't stop crying. I had to turn it off.

Yogagirl123 · 03/05/2019 20:37

Mike and the mechanics- the living years, gets me every time.

Tempertamtrum · 03/05/2019 20:39

Jonny Cash - Hurt - video always makes me cry

StealthPolarBear · 03/05/2019 20:42

Ohh yes the living years. There's a gun behind the door, use it only in emergencies.

StealthPolarBear · 03/05/2019 20:43

I've got the wrong song. The other one :o

StealthPolarBear · 03/05/2019 20:44

OK what is that song. Googling isn't helping

StealthPolarBear · 03/05/2019 20:47

Silent running

SwingoutSisterSledge · 03/05/2019 20:47

I agree Mike and the Mechanics In the Living Years , beautiful song and the word are just so poinant.

Singletomingle · 03/05/2019 20:56

Read all about it Emili Sande virtually every line makes me think. Also Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls. The other one which I guess is on many peoples lists is Everybody Hurts

practicallyperfectwithprosecco · 03/05/2019 21:05

Slipping through my fingers - ABBA
Dance with my father
Time to say goodbye

And the songs in mama Mia 2 where Donna has Sophie and the christening make me bawl!

Tears in Heaven
Danny Boy
