Song lyrics that always get you

[yogaretreat]

Just listening to a Spotify playlist and Time After Time came on... That line

"If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting. Time after time."

It just always gives me a little well of emotion. My son needs me so much, I think it's just that feeling of need to be there.

There are so many lyrics that get me no matter how many times I hear them.... What are yours?

A relatively new release actually.. think it's called how do I say goodbye by Dean Lewis

So how do I say goodbye
To someone who's been with me for my whole damn life?
You gave me my name and the color of your eyes
I see your face when I look at mine
So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?

Oh that's so moving @Someo

It reminds me of that song I Wasn't Expecting That

The line

And when the nurses they came, said, "It's come back again"
I wasn't expecting that
Then you closed your eyes, you took my heart by surprise

I can't listen to it 😭

So bloody cliched but I can't listen to Slipping Through my Fingers by ABBA.

Have a DD and the words are so true, the thought that she's growing up and away from me we were besties when she was 3

Not a lyric, but a whole song.
‘I will always love you’ by Dolly Parton.
I was at her legends set at Glastonbury in 2014. My Dad had died the week before. She sang that song and in that field with those all those people, it felt like she was singing it from my Dad to me. I burst in to tears with my now husband and friends giving me the biggest hug.
It was a moment I will never forget and gives me chills whenever I hear it.

Aww that's lovely

There's a line in Westlife's Flying Without Wings that makes me think of my husband and gets me emotional

'And you're the place my life begins
And you'll be where it ends'

I told him, he was horrified. His favourite band is The Cult 😬

@tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz
Awwww my mum says this too, we are best friends (I'm early 30s) so you might have that again with your daughter!

Yes, that gets me, used to hear it in the radio sandwiched between Doja Cat and something else and just seemed too emotional and incongruous…and beautiful.

Now I greet you from the other side of sorrow and despair, with a love so vast
And so shattered, it will reach you everywhere.

Goodbye Michelle
It’s hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky

The Kurt Cobain version that my teen daughter playsI mean. I have to counter the emotion by then singing “we had joy we had fun picking bogies in the sun, but the sun was too hot so our bogies turned to snot”

It’s always the slightly depressing ones that get me;

’’We’re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year. Running over the same old ground, what have we found. The same old fears, wish you were here.’ From Wish you were here by Pink Floyd, and

’Well I’ve been afraid of changing, ‘cause I’ve built my life around you. But time makes you bolder, even children get older, and I’m getting older too.’ From Landslide by Fleetwood Mac

They really aren’t relevant to my life in any way, they’ve always got me ever since I was a teenager. I’m welling up now just typing them out! Might possibly be the time of the month though 😅

Lewis Capaldi. Someone you loved.
"And now the day bleeds into night fall and you're not hear to get me through it all. I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug".

Annie Lennox Precious.
"Precious little Angel take a,look at what you've done. I thought my time was over but its only just begun."

I was locked up in the darkness now you've come to me free. I was covered up in sadness I was drowning in my own tears. I've been cynical and twisted I was bitter all these years and I was lost until you came.

If tomorrow never comes. Ronan Keating: So tell that someone that you love just what you're thinking of in case tomorrow never comes.

Okay I'm actually crying now.

"It's no secret... that the both of us... are running out of time" Adele. It scares me. I'm 38.

@yogaretreat look at what you’ve done to us all! Haha great idea for a thread though 😂😭

It's the song we had played at my eldest daughters funeral. It's by Devin Townsend and it goes,

"Loving you is the best thing and the worst thing in my life.
Loving you is entire.
And loving you is the one thing that I need right now...
Centre the morning light where the worlds so bright and high.
Where even the gods outside can wait a moment guy...
And loving you is entire."

I can't talk too much about it because I just get upset but it's a very special song.

'And I know when I die you'll be on my mind,
And I'll love you always' Bon Jovi.

The idea that choose someone to be the last living thought you have just a powerful one.

Oh gosh! I'm having a little cry

This one didn't make me cry, until I heard that it was about your children growing up:

I had all and then most of you
Some and now none of you
Take me back to the night we met
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Haunted by the ghost of you
Oh, take me back to the night we met

😭😭😭

Lord Huron, the night we met

Two..

'Where did all those yesterdays go?' Always gets me. Where did they go?

“Honey I miss you, and I’m being good. I would love to be with you, if only I could “

breaks my heart everytime

Dirty Vegas - Days go by

Days go by and still I think of you
Days when I couldn't live my life without you
Days go by and still I think of you

So angst ridden after all these years

Yy to both of these.

Every man has to die'
