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?

Everybody Hurts
REM

Better days are coming
Dermot Kennedy

I start chemo on Wednesday and I'm struggling to see " better days right now and my heart hurts because my hair is going to all fall out!

Good luck for your chemo. Have they suggested a cold cap?

Lots. But the first one which really comes to mind is Snow Patrol Chasing Cars. I love it but cannot listen to it at all.
After a very traumatic divorce I can’t do music at all anymore unless it is either happy and upbeat or combative revenge style. Even though it all happened many years ago now.

@jannier yes the cold cap was discussed. It adds on lots of time to the treatment, but I may have to give it a go. The thought all my hair falling out, just destroys me.

My DH is a Hibee and was there yesterday, he showed my the video and it really made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
Mine are Wires by Athlete, reminds me of when DS2 was in PICU after emergency heart surgery as a newborn, and Stay Gold by First Aid Kit.
It reminds me of my sister who died by suicide:

What if our hard work ends in despair?]]
What if the road won't take me there?
Oh, I wish, for once
We could stay gold
What if to love and be loved's not enough?
What if I fall and can't bear to get up?
Oh, I wish, for once
We could stay gold
We could stay gold

Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines.

My Dad was in the RAF and we wanted something upbeat when leaving his funeral.

Can't hear it now without being a big snotty mess.

I decided against it after the first round due to the added time but I would try it if you feel so strongly (which I get) it wasn't too uncomfortable once it started I didn't even feel that cold. I really hope things go well sending hugs.

Old and Wise by the Alan Parsons Project
The lyrics are beautiful and Colin Blunstone’s voice is perfect. Always brings tears to my eyes.

Enigma52 · 23/02/2025 20:11

@jannier Thankyou. It will either work, or it won't! Fingers crossed 🤞

Baz Luhrmann, Everybody's free. The below lyric had me spontaneously burst into tears in public not long after my mum passed:

Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for good

True Colours- Cindy Lauper

Anything ny Bob Marley at the moment. Reminds me of my Dad.

A nightingale sang in Berkley Square- Vera Lynn, reminds me of my Nan.

Now I am crying on top of Sunday night blues and perimenopause!!!!

Time of Your Life Greenday because it reminds me of my sister who died last year. I heard it on the radio a little while after and sobbed.

Change is Gonna Come, Seals version. When my DS was born early, I used to travel an hour by bus to be with him. I had a phone you could listen to the radio on, very impressive at that point. Seal had just released a very good covers album and this was on the radio a lot. It reminds me of the long bus journeys for 4 months.

@Enigma52

im really sorry you’re having to go through this.

Ive got on the wig side of TikTok for some reason, and I must say they do look good. There is a lady called Caroline who has hair loss and buys a selection of wigs for around £10, they do look good.

Morningtown Ride by the Seekers. My mum used to sing it to me, she passed away when I was 8.

Goodness, me too. Mum always sang it to me and she died when I was 9. I sang it to my own daughter and would like it played at my funeral. Linux, I'm so sorry that this happened to you too ❤️.

There you’ll be by Faith Hill.

It came on in the car on my way home from hospital when my baby son died.

The lyrics:

‘In my dreams, I'll always see you soar above the sky
In my heart, there'll always be a place for you for all my life
I'll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am, there you'll be’

Just got me. I bawled my heart out but this song has always made me cry. Whenever I hear it it transports me back to the worst day of my life 😪

I'm so very very sorry for your loss.
