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?

Me too. Breaks my heart thinking of my adult children being small. I miss that part of my life so much.

plenty from les miserables

Ken Dodd's

'When I poke my Tickling Stick in your Eye
Tears for souvenirs will feel rather like a stye.'

The scientist - Coldplay.
Played at my friends funeral when we were 16 and I haven’t been able to listen to it in full for the past 18 years.

A little fall of rain from les mis

Diamonds by Rihanna. Reminds me of a gorgeous little boy from my school who died of meningitis in his sleep one night. Devastating loss for everyone.

Don't Cry Daddy - Elvis Presley
Nothing Compares 2 U - Sinead O'Connor
Let Her Down Easy - Terence Trent D'Arby
Ooh Child - The Five Stairsteps

I would not say I bawl but in the right frame of mind I would.

Taken by Trees version of Sweet Child of Mine

Changes by black sabbath. And nothing else matters by Metallica. Both have me sobbing! And Don’t Cry by guns and roses

Advertising space by Robbie Williams
'Waiting for god to end this, up to your neck in darkness'
Was playing when I was sat with my wonderful dad in his last hours. Makes me sad still 17 years later

Seasons in the sun
he stopped loving her today
supermarket flowers

Agreed

Busted- Good One

Released in 2023 and I swear it's such a good funeral song, but also really upbeat!

Puff the magic dragon, every time I hear it, which fortunately isn't often !

Oh My Stars, Andrew Bell
If I Go, I'm Going, Gregory Alan Isakov

‘When She Loved Me’ from Toy Story. Heard it in town yesterday playing from a funfare ride. It took me straight back to when my girls were little and I had a little tear in my eye. Had to get a grip!

I’m Still Waiting by Diana Ross.

oh yes Abba, my Love my life

Many of those already mentioned plus:

Candles - Chris Rea (almost as much as Tell Me There's A Heaven)
Johnny Cash's cover of If You Could Read My Mind. Gordon Lightfoot's original is exquisite and lovely, but Cash's is so full of pain it's unbearable.
Toy Soldiers - Martika's Kitchen
Empty Chairs - Don McLean (even more than Vincent.)
Winner Takes It All - Abba
First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - various. Roberta Flack, Gordon Lightfoot and the Stereophonics all did it beautifully.
Strange Fruit - various. I don't know whether this one makes me want to cry or throw things. Probably both.
So In Love - especially k.d. lang's cover from the Red, Hot and Blue album. Well worth watching the video while you listen.

Everything I own- Bread. Utterly heartbreaking.

Seasons in the sun

Ordinary miracle - it was the sound track of Charlotte’s Web, which I used to watch with my daughter when she was younger. It’s such a nostalgic song of a simpler time…and of course, Charlotte dying.
