I don't know how many of you have come across this song already on social media but I wanted to share it because I feel like it's touched my soul in a way not many other songs have...

It's called Hi Ren...

Really interested in what people think about it...I'm not very emotional but it nearly brings me to tears every time I watch / listen to it

Any songs that do the same for you?

S.O.S d'un terrien en détresse - originally sung by Daniel Balavoine and later Gregory Demarchal.

This version sung by Dimash Qudaibergen from Kazakhstan, based on the version sung by Gregory Demarchal. His vocal range is something else.

Lyrics are in French, but if you put the subtitles on YouTube will translate for the video.

Vincent by Don McLean. I can't work out why it makes me cry but it just does.

'And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night
You took your life, as lovers often do'

Even typing it I get a lump in my throat 🥺

Young hearts run free - Candi Staton - reminds me of happy and sad times

Holding back the years- simply red - just reminds me of that scene in only fools which I grew up watching with my teenage brothers and dad and gets me every time
