What songs just make you swell with emotion?

[SuncreamInTheWinter]

Can share why if you want or just share the song name. Or add a link so we can listen.

Attended an online funeral today and they played Highland Cathedral and realised it is always one that gets me. I was at this Proms in the Park that's seen on the video and I cried then and cried today when I heard it.

I love MeatLoaf's version of It's All Coming Back To Me.

Ultravox - Vienna.

I named my daughter after that song and it always makes me cry (even though she's now a strapping 30 year old not a tiny baby any more...)

Can't stop the tears rolling when I hear this.

I Just Called To Say I Love You - I remember dancing round my dnans kitchen with her to this as a child. It was our song. She died 2 months ago and I miss her so much.

Slipping Through My Fingers - makes me think of my stepdaughter. We haven't seen her for a year. Her choice sadly after years of parental alienation. I really loved her and I hope one day she comes back.

Just Haven't Met You Yet - Michael Buble. Reminds me of being pregnant with ds9. I was so scared when I was having him, convinced I was going to be a terrible mother and these lyrics comforted me "well someday I know it will all turn out, you'll make me work and we can work to work it out, and I promise you kid, I'll give so much more than I get.. I just haven't met you yet" 😊

What's Going On - Marvin Gaye. My dmums favourite song and reminds me of my childhood as she was always playing it.

Finally, Lifelines by a-ha. This song helped me get through a nervous breakdown a few years ago.

Harvest moon by Neil Young just had it at my mums funeral 4 weeks ago

High- Light house family
By your side- Sade

Clown by Emile Sande

Woman in Love by Barbra Streisand

Man in the Mirror by Michael Jackson

Dont Speak by No Doubt

Praying ForTime...the late, great George Michael

Just glanced through the thread and I see that someone already mentioned Bruce Springsteen 'The River'. The emotion that he pours into that song... 'now those memories come back to haunt me, they haunt me like a curse... though I know the river is dry' ...

Willie Nelson and his daughter Paula, singing 'Have you ever seen the rain'?

I could list dozens more

@GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER I'm like that with "O holy night" I cannot hear it withoyt bursting into tears.

"A ray of hope, the weary world rejoices, through yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. Fall on your knees, oh hear the angel voices. O night divine. O night that Christ was born"

Coincidentally, my much longed for, premature son was born on Christmas day after months of me being very poorly.

Erik's opera, from Happy feet 2
Coney Island baby, by Lou Reed
Sister morphine by Marianne Faithfull.

Fleetwood mac- Dreams, it played in the helicopter as we flew across the Grand Canyon, I had been suffering with severe depression and anxiety prior to that trip, and I felt like it signalled a fresh start, which it did as things were and got much much better during and after this trip and I’ve not suffered from depression since

The Smiths- There is a light that never goes out, I just love this song, reminds me of an ex as we used to listen to it together

Sia- Breath me, I used to listen to this a lot when I was depressed

Coldplay- Fix you, I can’t listen to this song, it was on the radio a lot when my grandad was dying from end stage dementia

And Pictures of you by The Cure.

@IntoTheUnknown89, goodness, then Christmas must be really extra-special for you now - what a wonderful ‘present’!

These are the days of my life by Queen.

Makes me so sad that it was Freddie's last song, was an amazing singer and person...my idol

What's more sad is people live with HIV these days

* that song is so powerful without hearing it at your husbands funeral! God I'm sobbing thinking what a hard day that must have been for you...

Elvis - Wise men say only fools rush in

I Want To Break Free - Queen. Especially the key change bit
"But life still goes on
I can't get used to living without, living without
Living without you by my side
I don't want to live alone, hey
God knows, got to make it on my own"
