I’m always in the lookout for a really emotional song that gives you goosebumps. I currently like ’By your Side’ (Abbey Road Live Version) by Jonas Blue. What’s your favourite beautiful song?

For all we know.

Silence by Dave Thomas Junior, it was used on Afterlife (which I watched when I'd just lost somebody close) and is like loss in song form, heartbreakingly beautiful. And Cloud on my Tongue by Tori Amos, loads of hers actually, I love her.

Evergreen by Streisand

My other choice would be Annie’s song. Golden oldies both.

Fisherman's Blue, The Waterboys. Saw them live a few months ago and their version of this was so exquisite it made me cry.

And agree with previous poster about Nothing Compares To U. Stunning...

@lazarusb another thank you for that 3 colours red mention, I used to love that song and not heard it years, about to pop it on now.

I'll add -

Reef - consideration

Hedonism by Skunk Anansie. Her voice on it is incredible.

Also I'm no Robbie fan at all but I adore No Regrets

El Condor Pasa - Simon & Garfunkel.

BeautyGoesToBenidorm · 02/07/2022 14:17

Right now, it's Diamant by Rammstein. Beautifully stripped down, and Till Lindemann's voice sends shivers down my spine. My dad was also a huge fan, and I would've chosen this for his funeral had the lyrics had a nicer meaning!

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 02/07/2022 14:18

Also because I associate them with my daughter (now nearly 14) and they make me remember she's growing up and doesn't just need me anymore - sob -

Jesses song, Toy Story
I see the lights, Tangled

And as above to guarantee ugly crying

Slipping through my fingers - ABBA

BotterMon · 02/07/2022 14:20

Sounds of Silence Simon & Garfunkel

La Corrida Francis Cabrel (French song about a bull in a bullfight - haunting)

Evergreen Barbra Streisand

IfItQuacksLikeADuck3 · 02/07/2022 14:20

I also love shiny happy people by R.E.M

Cheesy as fuck but I love it 😁

Todd Rundgren- I saw the light

Ah, yes...love the version from Live From Daryl's house too.

And I'll add The Twilight Singers - Live With Me.

Morning from Peer Gynt by Grieg. Chokes me up every time. It's on my list of music for my funeral.
