Mine is dire straits, on every street.
When ddad told us he had cancer we left shortly afterwards and this came on in the car. Dad is a huge dire straits fan and this song just made me think of him, and how if he wasn't around I'd 'see' him on the street.
Morbidly, I decided it would be played at his funeral. Luckily I haven't had to break it put yet. But the first few bars have me in floods of tears.

@NotPrude

Supermarket Flowers by Ed Sheeran...when you realise he's singing about his mum dying, urgh it's just too much. Can't even listen to it.
Has me in bits. I lost my mum at 16.

Bob Seger - ‘Til it Shines

“Deal me up another future
From some brand new deck of cards.”

Can’t listen to it now but it’s such a beautiful song.
