Songs that make you sob

[ChrisChambersNeverMisses]

Sorry, I know this topic has been done before but...
Recently watched The Falling, and Florence Pugh sings Voyage To The Moon- it's only a brief moment, but I had never heard the song before and I cannot stop thinking about it. I've listened to Donovan and the Mary Hopkin version and I'm sobbing! Absolutely bawling my eyes out! It is such a sad sweet melancholy song. It's making me think of the DCs as babies and how little DD (4) is growing so big now...

Are there any songs that have given you the same reaction? I can't stop listening and crying!

Disclaimer- this may be a result of lockdown hysteria

A few of those are on my list.
In addition...
I wasn't expecting that - Tom Law
Vincent - Don McLean
All the Way to England- Jemma Endersby
Moving On - James
A Gentleman's Excuse Me - Fish

Sunshine on Leith - The Proclaimers. Gets me every time

Songbird - Fleetwood Mac version

Everybody hurts - REM

Everybody hurts - REM

Neil young birds. Holy shit the lyrics are powerful although there's not many. My parents are both fans so I doubt I'll be able to listen to it again once they go.

When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over

Fix you - Cold Play - even thinking about that song makes me well up!

Seasons in the sun

Chasing cars by Snow Patrol,
If love is a red dress, Maria McKee
Handbags and Gladrags, Stereophonics
You know I'm no good, Amy Winehouse

First time ever I saw your face - Roberta Flack

Was our first dance at our wedding and then the first song we heard in the car after DHs cancer diagnosis

He is better but still makes me sob.

Here Comes The Sun.
Fire And Rain.
In My Life.

It must have been love by Roxette.
I don’t know why, I think it’s the sadness in her voice.

Oh and Bright Eyes too, because I have traumatic memories from being 5 and watching Watership Down.

Fix You definitely sets me off
Also Chocolate - Snow Patrol - it was the background music on a DVD made for a charity event I did. The event was life changing in a good way for me and the music reminds me of the emotions of it all.
Are we Human - Killers - bittersweet tears - it became a theme of a rather brutal but good class I taught. They broke me but were amazing all at the same time.
Unstoppable - Rascall Flatts

In the ghetto- Elvis
It's Quiet Uptown- Hamilton soundtrack
Hero- Enrique Iglesias

The last two get me the worst. I was pregnant when Hero was released and still cant hear it without clubbing.

*blubbing

Whole of the moon
Your song
Say hello wave goodbye

See You Again by Wiz Khalifa & Charlie Puth
Also most of the Hamilton soundtrack

And I Love You So by Don McLean (people ask me how, how I’ve lived til now, I tell them I don’t know)

Annie's Song, by John Denver.

Johnny Cash.
Hurt.

What have I become
My sweetest friend?
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end

Sunshine On Leith - has me howling, but I love it. Also What A Good Boy by Barenaked Ladies, it's so moving.

Oh god, Sunshine on Leith was played at a funeral, absolutely bawling.

Sometimes it snows in April- Prince

Supermarket flowers- Ed Sheeran

Softly as I leave you- Matt Monro

Stand by me- Ben E King

Do I wanna know- arctic monkeys, but even more so the cover by Dua Lipa

Rule the world- take that

Love is a losing game- Amy winehouse

Kiss it better- Rihanna

Diamonds- Rihanna

Thinking out loud- Ed sheeran

Random selection there. Most for very personal reasons.

😭😭😭

Also Evergreen by Yebba. She wrote it about her mum, who she lost to suicide.

Aside from her voice being unfathomably good, the harmonies being flawless and the addition of the choir adding something extra powerful, the words "I know its's just as hard in heaven" make me well up even typing them just now. Fuck.

White Wine in the Sun by Tim Minchin. Because I have been lucky to travel a fair bit for work and "wherever I go and whatever I face, these [my family] are the people who make me feel safe in this world". I have been someone's "blued eyed infant daughter" and felt so loved. Sob.

Can You Feel the Live Tonight by Elton John. Because I once saw it used over clips of well loved pets that had been ill and recovered. Not the line "it's enough for this wide eyed wanderer that we got this far" makes me think of my own dogs, here and gone. It's never enough. They always go too soon and yet it's always a blessing to have known them at all. Double sob.
