Is there a song that instantly makes your heart leap?

[cricketmum84]

I'm a huge music fan. Songs dictate my emotions a lot which might sound weird. DH is not a music fan and he totally doesn't understand the feelings a certain song can provoke in me.

So is there that one song that instantly touches your soul and provokes emotions??

Mine is Gary Moore - Still in love with you

Good Riddance (Time of Your Life), Greenday

This Will Be (An Everlasting Love) by Natalie Cole. It was the first dance at my wedding - I wanted a fun, upbeat song that everyone would join in with quickly. Then when I was having my C section it came up randomly on the anaesthetist's playlist as we were handed my DD! I also have a lovely memory of dancing around with DD to the song when she was a couple of months old and it being the first time she really made eye contact and smiled at me. It's a bit of a cheesy song but really special to me now.

Electric dreams, makes me cry every time. Spider webbed to many sad childhood memories 😢

Way too many too name.

Pure Magic -Njalo
Winky D - panorwadza moyo
Hillsong - what a beautiful name
Tasha Cobbs Leonard - this is a move
Blaq Diamond - love letter, messiah
Whitney - how will i know, i know him so well, so emotiona
Mariah Carey - side effects
Janet Jackson - If
Brandy - Fall
Usher - Moving mountains, Climax, can you help me
Jagged Edge - whats it like to be
Dave Hollister - dont take my girl away

A few songs do this to me. The first one that springs to mind is Pulp - Do you remember the first time

Ooh loads of those mentioned so far. Music is so evocative isn’t it? I am instantly transported back to hearing these songs. Same with classical music for me
You’re a lady Peter Skellern
Til there was you Beatles ( and others)
To where you are Josh Groban ( and others, but particularly the 4 part harmony version by G 4)
You’re in my heart Phil Collins

Gordon Lightfoot - If I could read your mind
The Stones - Angie
Stevie Nicks Landslide

Young hearts run free

You’ll be in my heart. Phil Collins
And loads more!
I had a tea party for my 60 th birthday a few years ago and a friend out my favourite list on a stick and we had it playing in the background all afternoon, I think there were about 60 favourites! I’ve got a slightly shorter list of favourite classical music pieces, all of which bring back memories

Teardrops by Lovestation UK Garage at its best!

Uptown Girl - Billy Joel - in fact practically every song on that album (I am such a child of the eighties)

The Test Match Special music (weird I know) - Soul Limbo by Booker T and the MGs, apparently

Summer Lovin' from Grease (did I mention the eighties?)

Patricia the Stripper by Chris de Burgh - not without huge amounts of ambiguity, but there we go

Shine Jesus Shine by Graham Kendrick (despite the Wrong bit at the end of the chorus)

Young Strephon, Act I finale from Iolanthe by Gilbert & Sullivan

@GordonsAlive85

Another vote for you'll never walk alone. Also, o holy night!

O Holy night!!

The first time I ever heard this song was in Meadowhall of all places. Christmas shopping and there was a choir there singing O Holy Night. I actually cried. Not like screaming in the cistine chapel type moment but a few quiet tears. DH called me a soft arse and refused to be seen with me 😂😂 god it's such a beautiful song.

Landslide- Fleetwood Mac
Time after Time- Cyndi Lauper
Graceland- Paul Simon
Solsbury Hill-Peter Gabriel
Waterloo Sunset-The Kinks
December 1963- Frankie Valli
Islands in the Stream- Dolly and Kenny

Here come the sun - Nina Simone

I absolutely love The Beatles but her version is so emotional

Some great songs on here, feeder just a day makes me feel sixteen, carefree, on top of the world and ready for anything

Broken Wings by Mr Mister. Saw me through some emotional times and gave me strength.

Wichita Lineman. No other song has had such an impact on me. The words are just beautiful.

Tunnel of Love by Dire Straits sticks out, though there are so many.

Love Gary Moore. I was devastated when he died. ☹️☹️☹️

Doesn't it make you realise how wonderful it must be to write even just one song that would make someone feel like this?

I'm going to make a Spotify play list of these as it sounds so perfect for long winter days when I'm working at home

And those intros! Immediately take me back, Maggie May, that Bobby Goldsboro Summer song, Bryan Adams, etc
I would say my life could be described in song !

@HollowTalk absolutely yes!

Song played on a solo saxophone from Miss Saigon gets me every time as well

@AngelsWithSilverWings

Something Changed by Pulp always makes me think of when DH and I first met.

Here comes the Sun - the Beatles - DH played this the day we brought or DS home when we adopted him. It really did feel like the sun had finally come out after ten years of fertility problems,

😍😍😍😍

I was listening to The Thompson Twins 'Hold me now' earlier today and that definitely stirred emotions. It's a nice song.
