Song(s) that move you?

[Thekindyoufindinasecondhand]

Just as the title suggests! Name a song, or songs that move you! To tears, laughter, happiness, whatever! Bonus points for why.

Mine - Bob Dylan-The times they are a-changin, I remember it playing it as my little sister got into her wedding dress and it felt very apt! And Joe Cocker-With a little help from my friends, reminds me of when I left my ex and my best friend turned up with a bottle of vodka and blasted it out and sang the entire thing to me whilst I sobbed

Forever Autumn is a beautiful song.

I Just Called To Say I Love You, by Stevie Wonder. I used to dance around to this with my dnan as a child. She died a month ago, at the age of 93. She was my best friend.

Orinoco flow freaks me out
Dancing with tears in my eyes makes me cry because I miss my dad

Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Guardian Angel
Ed Sheeran - Supermarket Flowers & Small Bump

And yes to Everybody Hurts and Don't give up. Abbas slipping through my fingers when my last Dd went to university.

@ParkheadParadise I often see your references on here about your daughter. I just want to say I am sorry for what you must be going through on a daily basis x

Liza stansfield helped me get over ds father leaving

These are so sad for all of you.
Robbie Williams Angel's and Coldplay Fix You...both related to my DH....make me cry. Every. Single. Time...even now...10 years after his death

The impossible dream - Andy Williams. Was my grandads favourite song and recently used it to document my ivf journey to my little boy

Women's work, Kate Bush

Fly by Celine Dion. Played at baby DC's funeral

@Whatelsecouldibecalled
Good choice, i love that song.

Fields of Athenry
ABBA - Move On
Forever Autumn

All remind me of my Dad who passed away a year ago.

Joy Division love will tear us apart.. Love it

Crying.. Clean Bandi, Rockabye

Israel Kamakawiwoʻole's Somewhere over the rainbow

The Jam "Ghosts" - "Pick up your lonely heart and walk right on through..."

"Louise" by Tony Christie. The trumpet is haunting.

Don’t give up - Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel

My friends have mostly been better to me than my family. I’ve one particular group I’m close to and they’re lovely.

Athlete - wires reminds me of dds birth & time in scbu

Happier ones inc
Whole of the moon - waterboys just makes me think of joyful teen summers and my first non babysitting job where I had a great time

Rather be - clean bandit a lovely summer holiday with dd

Slipping through my fingers.. Abba. My DD1 looks very like the actress in Mama Mia which probably doesn't help, but every time I hear that song I cry, and on her wedding day I had to ban that song :D

The Weakness in Me Joan Armatrading...

Sing - The Carpenters

Morningtown Ride - my mum sang to me as a toddler, her mother and grandmother sang to her ... beautiful song that sends me to sleep still .

Jean Michel Jarre as my parents played him over and over again back in circa 1993/1994... Listening to it as an adult makes me cry . It always evokes memories of custard creams, um bungo, windows 95 PC, long car journeys and being tucked into snatch bedsheets .

Walk with me oh my Lord - sung at most family funerals ... Be still for the presence of the Lord is here; for the same reason .

Here's a song I love that makes me sad but also warms.my blackened heart in a strange way.

About a girl, that meets a boy, they fall in love but she leaves the world too soon and he ends up alone, singing the songs they sang together.

This Woman's Work - Kate Bush

@lesbihonest
Walk with me oh my Lord, has been played at every funeral I have ever been at. Along with Here I am lord and I watch the sunrise.

The Promise by Tracy Chapman. I had a fling with an older (attached guy when I was early 20s and he gave me the CD with this song on it. I left to work abroad as he kept hinting that he’d leave his GF but it didn’t happen. Never saw him again and can’t find him anywhere online but I think about him sometimes and listen to this song when I’m feeling maudlin

Drugs don’t work also, due to my dad dying.

Wasn’t expecting that by Jamie Lawson, especially the first time I heard it, certainly wasn’t expecting that!

But by far the worst song for making me cry is from the Dear Evan Hansen cast but apparently not in the show (haven’t seen it yet due to lockdown )

It’s called In the Bedroom Down the Hall. It used to come on after another soundtrack I listened to in the car every day for a week while I was working away from home. I would arrive back just as this song ended and sit in my car bawling my eyes out. I dare you.

Never Enough. Gets me everytime.

Feather on the Clyde, Passenger.
O Holy Night always makes me cry.

In My Life - The Beatles
Time To Say Goodbye - Andrea Bocelli
So Far Away - Carole King
Some songs just bring back sad and happy memories.
