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.

Stormzy blinded by your grace.

Love 'this woman's work', both versions. The Portrait played on piano by James Horner, 'Everywhere' Fleetwood Mac.

This year's love- David Gray
For your babies - Simply red
Birdy- Wings
Can't help falling in love - Elvis Presley

Paolo Nutini - Autumn
Bruce Springsteen - The River
The Last Post played at Remembrance Day

This song breaks me every time I hear it
It was played at a friend's funeral back in 2008 as soon as it starting playing I was a mess
The beginning lyrics are

"I want to have the same last dream again,
The one where I wake up and I'm alive."

You are Never forgotten Jamie

Ahh I walked down the aisle to Highland Cathedral (on the organ) it’s a lovely memory of my dad.

Don't Dream it's Over by Crowded House, Proud by M People and Nimrod from Elgar's Enigma Variations.

Everybody hurts by REM

Lark Ascending

It was played at my great Auntie's funeral and moved me beyond words.
It's just beautiful.

Not a song though!

Agree with several of the ones already mentioned. This Woman's Work and the Pearl Fishers Duet particularly.

For me, also Eva's version of Fields Of Gold and Vincent by Don McLean.

A thousand years Christina Perry. It was the YouTube video that accompanied it, changed the song meaning entirely For me.

Us against the world Coldplay. It symbolises my struggle with infertility and miscarriage, the words were true to me when expecting my baby after years and years of troubles.

There are numerous songs that remind me of people long gone.

For Crying Out Loud by Meat Loaf.

Diary by Bread

A Pirate Looks at 40 by Jimmy Buffet

The Unforgettable Fire - U2

Neil diamond - love on the rocks
Proclaimers - sunshine on leith

Reminds me of my late mum 🙏🏾

Coldplay - Fix you

For a Friend - Jimmy Summerville, the words are so haunting. It's about his friend who died of HIV/AIDS (80s song)

Loretta Lynn

The Only Thing by Sufjan Stevens (this guy has an extensive catalogue of beautiful music). 2 minutes and 33 seconds in.
It's about the death of his estranged mother who abandoned him and was in and out of his life throughout childhood.

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot.

Hoppípolla by Sigúr Ros
Last Request Paolo Nutini (I was going through a break up when it was released and it resonated with me!)

God that's a mixed bag isn't it?!

Remember me from the film coco I've been sat blubbling whilst watching it this morning with DD
