Do any positive songs make you emotional?

I had a discussion with a friend over songs that make us emotional/cry and she said that only sad songs make her cry but both sad and happy songs make me emotional, though due to a neurological problem almost everything does.

I wondered if there are any uplifting songs that make you emotional?

Rock a bye - by Clean Bandit

Think of Me from Phantom of the Opera, about how you can still care for someone even after you’ve broken up.

Goodbye Earl by The Chicks. Two female friends kill a man who is a domestic abuser and physically violent to one of them. Whilst obviously not condoning violence it ends up with:

'So the girls bought some land
And a roadside stand somewhere out on Highway 109
They sell strawberry jam and Tennessee ham and they don't lose any sleep at night'

And it makes me happy about female friendship and women getting on with their lives.

Oh lordy, loads of uplifting songs make me cry! Music has the ability to draw out emotions whether it is sad or happy. That's what's so amazing about it!

You’ll never walk alone, the verses, make me cry every time. Darn those scousers 😂😭

This is me from The Greatest Showman. I watched a video of It being shown to the producers or someone in a making of video and the emotion of it just stuck with me, now every time I hear it my throat catches a little

Also love Unstoppable by Sia.

‘Show yourself’ from the Frozen 2 movie. Such a lovely song, there’s so much emotion in there I can’t sing it without bawling!

The power in me
Dd's teachers did a video for the kids during lockdown with this as the backing song - when l hear it it reminds me what we all went through and l pray we never have to again

One Day Like This by Elbow - my kids’ school used it on the DVDs of their residential trips, to accompany photos of them all dressed in waterproofs up a mountain etc and as soon as the music starts I well up!

Something inside so strong y Lebbi Seffre.

I went to a charity event for our local women’s refuge and a woman got up and sang it. I was leaving an abusive relationship myself at the time and I couldn’t stop the tears

How long will I love you by Ellie Goulding. Has me howling. Wasn't a problem until I had DD. "how long will I love you? As long as stars are above you, and longer if I can" 😭

This is fab. I also love the clip about Hugh Jackman following his nose surgery for cancer and being told not to sing (cos he had 80 stitches in his nose) not sure if the link will work but it's easy to find on you tube.
