What song makes you cry?

[Hairymunter]

I saw the Hibs fans singing Sunshine on Leith after beating Celtic yesterday. I was bawling my eyes out. That song makes me cry every single time. And it's a happy song!! What song gets you every time?

none.

Wires by Athlete, about a baby in a neo natal unit 😢

I drive into Sainsbury’s car park during the end of lockdown and heard tears in heaven - sat in the parking space with tears in my eyes

Oh gosh, yes. That song gets me every time!

Me too.

A Different Corner always sets me off, as does I Can’t Make You Love Me.

Bright Eyes always gets me too as it reminds my of my biological father, who I haven’t spoken to in 17 years. And even though I’m at peace with that decision, the song reminds me of what could have been.

Thankyou 🙂

Travelin' Soilder by The Chicks, makes me bawl my eyes out

Two of my three already mentioned:
Fix you
Heal the pain
If you’re not the one - Daniel Bedingfield

Another vote for A Case of You, Joni Mitchell

Northern Sky, Nick Drake.

Days by the Kinks . My daughter chose it for my husband's funeral and it was one of his favourites - I can't listen to it now

We sing this in my choir and it makes me cry. Also sing Once upon a December which can make me cry. There are loads of songs that make me cry, mainly from the 80s, it's nostalgia. I sobbed through most of ABBA Voyage. It was something to do with how they (and me) are so much older now.

Wishing you all the best for your treatment -I'm sure you'll still be beautiful x

Hope better days will come soon. Good luck with chemo

Slipping through my Fingers Abba and
Let Somebody Go Coldplay.
I am nearly an empty nester!
The Coldplay lyrics in the second verse
'When i called the mathematicians and asked them to explain, they said 'love is only equal to the pain''

When the day is done, by Nick Drake is a fab of mine. It’s a beautiful meaningful song. I read a story recently of a lady that chose to end her life at a Swiss euthanasia clinic, when the day is done was what she wanted to have as she passed away. Obviously don’t know her but I always think of her when i listen to it.

Diamonds and Rust - Joan Baez
The Last Time I Saw Richard - Joni Mitchell

Let it be by the Beatles

Keep Your Head Up by Ben Howard, because I played it on repeat when I had time off after two miscarriages close together.

There are actually loads of songs that make me cry if I’m in the right mood!

You do something to me - Paul Weller
By my side - INXS
Don't let the Sun go down on me - George Michael live version
Stay - Shakespeares Sister
Fly - Dixie Chicks

Ooh, also You’ll Never Walk Alone when being sung by a football crowd sets me off too!

James Blunt - Monsters
Bridge over troubled water
Last dance with my father

To build a home - cinematic orchestra

Weirdly enough, the National Anthem. I had a bereavement on the day the Queen died, the National Anthem was played a lot that day. Every time I hear it, it takes me straight back to the huge sadness of that day 🥺

Help me make it through the night, Elvis Presley, and Wolves by Phosphorescent.

Geraldine by Glasvegas

Makes me sob. It was written about a friend of the singer. Who was a social worker. Called Geraldine.

Freya Ridings - lost without you.

It's on the pet plan advert at the moment and although it's a beautiful song, it should be banned because it's heartbreaking!
