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?

When the tigers broke free by Roger waters (about how his father, who was a conscientious objector) died in ww2

You can really hear the pain bitterness and anger of a bereaved little boy. It's not my favourite pink Floyd /waters song but it makes me ugly cry every single time

I was at Glastonbury in 2008 and watched Leonard Cohen sing that live on the pyramid stage, we hadn’t even planned to go and watch him but were wondering round and found ourselves there. It was the best part of that years festival for me. Gorgeous song.

Good luck.

My hair started falling out on Jan 4th and I wore my wig for the last time on May 20th. By then I had an inch of slightly curly regrowth that my stylist managed to make look ok.

It won't be long, I hope it goes well. xx

While my Guitar Gently Weeps, and Barwick Green, both played at my older brothers funeral, he died just a couple of months after drawing his pension. Also, Mr Tambourine Man, which for some reason also reminds me of him, no idea why. DH has said he wants 'If Not For You' played at his funeral, hopefully not fir many years, but I can't hear it now without welling up.

Thankyou.
I can't stop crying, every time I think of it falling out. This isn't my first time either.
