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.

Literally just cried my whole heart out to This Woman's Work. It's always had this effect.

"You are my sunshine" makes me cry every time. I can't sing it to my daughter, I'm welling up now just thinking about it

Wishing you were somehow here again from the Phantom of the Opera.
From the ground up by Dan & Shay.
See you again by Carrie Underwood.
Lost my beloved OH in December last year and Spotify likes to remind me frequently by playing these tracks!!
Once I'm able to sing again in the car, to these and any others, I'll know I'm on my way back up from feeling so sad.

You'll never walk alone from the musical Carousel. It's the only one that always does it for me. Even when sung at Liverpool football matches and I'm not even a fan of any football!
