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.

‘Bring him home’ from Les Miserables

Dreaming with a Broken heart ~John Mayer

If I can listen to this song without crying then it means I'm completely over my ex

Loads of these are wonderful but can I also add :

Secret Garden - Bruce Springsteen
I can't make you love me - Bonnie Raitt

If either of these come on, they just make me stop whatever I'm doing

Stardust by Nat King Cole. It’s so exquisitely perfect, it’s almost like it’s from another universe.

Slipping through my fingers - ABBA mega sobs especially now my dd growing up
Landslide - Fleetwood MAC
Sunshine on Leith - The Proclaimers
In the Arms of an Angel - Sarah McLachlan
The Beatles- Blackbird and In my Life
Home away from Home - James Galway - This always makes me sob
The theme tune from The Thornbirds always gets me too 😥

Showing my age here.. It's unsophisticated and overly sentimental but it gives me chills. At the end when Lionel Ritchie pauses and just says 'still' my eyes well up.

The Commodores - still

All out of Love by Air Supply (I wish you could come back and carry me home)

Theme tune to the Onedin Line makes me very emotional too
Black Beauty as well

At the moment Luke Combs Six Feet Apart - Spotify it - it’s quite a cheerful song but had me in floods yesterday

Be Still - The Killers

Haunted by Ben Montague

Beautiful song

The Sound Of Silence - Disturbed
Parking Lot - Mineral

Agree with a lot of these:

Songbird, Fleetwood Mac
Hallelujah, Jeff Buckley
Feeling Good, Nina Simone

A couple of covers which are even more haunting than the original:
Mad World, Damien Rice
You do Something To Me, Skunk Anansie

Also Squander by Skunk Anansie

And has no-one mentioned Perfect Day, Lou Reed?

Nessun Dorma
You Raise Me Up
The Phantom of the Opera
Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again
Defying Gravity
One Day More
Who Am I
Bring Him Home
My Man
Don't Rain On My Parade

Can you tell I'm a musical theatre fan

Lippy Kids (Elbow) about lost youth. Beautiful.

Oh yes OP definitely Highland Cathedral, played on the bagpipes. It was played at FIL's funeral last year on the organ and thankfully was not as sob-inducing as I don't think I could have coped.

Some other songs are
Sunshine on Leith
Machines by Biffy Clyro
Tori Amos Winter
Good Riddance by Green Day

Purple Rain by Prince.

@HollysBush just this morning I was wrapping my sons birthday presents thinking about how he is growing up so quickly and then ABBA’s slipping through my fingers came on (was listening to Mamma Mia soundtrack ) serious sobbing out of nowhere

Sand and water - Beth Neilson
Supermarket Flowers - Ed Sheeran
Both really get me as they make me think of my parents who both died far too young. I never make it through Sand and Water without being reduced to a wet mess.

You Take My Breath Away by Queen.

whispers and Idina Menzels "Show Yourself" from Frozen 2 - I know I know!!

O Lord is it mine, by Roger Hodgson. So beautiful I cry every time.

Different Corner - George Michael

Stay - East 17. I didn't realise this song was about the suicide of Tony Mortimer's brother at first. Always makes me sad for anyone who has experienced this.

Mum had Fleetwood Mac Albertros at her funeral. It's the video that gets me x

Also :

Gypsy by Fleetwood Mac. It reminds me of how I feel sometimes - someone who follows her heart and let it leads her though it's scary sometimes not knowing where I might end up.

Everywhere by Fleetwood Mac. This also has to do with the video - it reminds me of a pure kind of romantic love, something I'm not sure of if it really exists.

Invisible - Hunter Hayes
Let it be Me - Ray LaMontagne
Delicate - Damien Rice

Pearl Jam, Black
Fleetwood Mac, Songbird
Dixie Chicks, Travellin' Soldier
Arcade Fire, The Suburbs
