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...

Who you'd be today, Kenny Chesney. I do wonder every day what my twins would be like now.

Angel Sarah McLachlan "your in the arms of the angel, may you find some comfort there" I hope someone has them in their arms because I can't.

Gone too soon, Daughtry "
Today could have been the day
That you blow out your candles
Make a wish as you close your eyes
Today could have been the day
Everybody was laughing
Instead I just sit here and cry"

You don't have to say you love me

Annie’s song - John Denver. Reminds me of my mum, who died ten years ago. Also most 60’s music makes me feel nostalgic as she had it all on proper records and we would dance around to it when I was little.

This is a bit of weird one but..

Speechless by FenixTx

Not sure what genre it is.. poppy punk?? The tune sounds quite happy, but the words resonate...

I never said a thing to hurt you
It's what I didn't say that made you cry
And in all honesty
I never would have deserted you
Never dreamt that I would say goodbye

NCB2019 · 03/05/2019 22:12

Mariah Carey Without you

No I can't forget this evening or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile, but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows

StealthPolarBear · 03/05/2019 22:13

That's not Mariah Carey is it? Thought it was someone elsr

NCB2019 · 03/05/2019 22:14

All my fault by Fenika Tx

NCB2019 · 03/05/2019 22:15

I always knew it as Mariah.. maybe someone else sang it before her. It was on the album Music box if I remember correctly?!

Pizzaformytea · 03/05/2019 22:17

Young Forever/Forever Young - there was a version out around the time my Mum died and it just makes me think of her being forever young now and I sob every time.

Somewhere over the rainbow - because of the moment in ER when Mark Greene dies - gets me every time!

Gary Barlow, Let me go, ever since I read an interview about why he wrote the song

dontcallmelen · 03/05/2019 22:33

I think the original version of without was by Harry Nielsen, was the first single I bought 50p from whs, think it was in the early seventies.

dontcallmelen · 03/05/2019 22:33

you

Clawdy · 03/05/2019 22:37

Without You - originally recorded by Badfinger in 1970, always loved it. Had no idea Mariah C had recorded it too.

Somebody to love, George Michael
A different corner George Michael
How long will I love you Ellie Goulding,
Kesha praying
Living years, Mike and the mechanics, I can’t actually listen to that song

This. My daughter is depressed and life is hard. When I told her it reminded me of her she agreed and said she couldn't listen to it

In My Blood
Shawn Mendes
Help me, it's like the walls are caving in
Sometimes I feel like giving up
But I just can't
It isn't in my blood
Laying on the bathroom floor, feeling nothing
I'm overwhelmed and insecure, give me something
I could take to ease my mind slowly
Just have a drink and you'll feel better
Just take her home and you'll feel better
Keep telling me that it gets better
Does it ever?
Help me, it's like the walls are caving in
Sometimes I feel like giving up
No medicine is strong enough
Someone help me
I'm crawling in my skin
Sometimes I feel like giving up
But I just can't
It isn't in my blood
It isn't in my blood
I'm looking through my phone again, feeling anxious
Afraid to be alone again, I hate this
I'm trying to find a way to chill, can't breathe, oh
Is there somebody who could
Help me, it's like the walls are caving in
Sometimes I feel like giving up
No medicine is strong enough
Someone help me
I'm crawling in my skin
Sometimes I feel like giving up
But I just can't
It isn't in my blood
It isn't in my blood
I need somebody now
I need somebody now
Someone to help me out
I need somebody now
Help me, it's like the walls are caving in
Sometimes I feel like giving up
But I just can't
It isn't in my blood
It isn't in my blood
It isn't in my blood
I need somebody now
It isn't in my blood
I need somebody now
It isn't in my blood

I love Sinead O'Coonor's version of Mother by Pink Floyd. She preformed
this at the Berlin concert in May 1990 to celebrate the wall coming down. It always makes me fill up.

Hold On - Good Charlotte

My brother took his life and the first time I heard this I sobbed. He was a huge Green Day fan so some of their songs choke me up.

Taxi Cab - twenty one pilots

Borderline - Chris de Burgh
Thirty years ago I was saying goodbye to someone I knew I would never see again as he moved abroad. It was on the radio as I left the airport.

Stevie Wonder - I just called to say I love you - for my baby that didn't make it.
