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?

East 17 Stay Another Day was No 1 the day my Jack was born and died two hours later.. 💔 💔
To Where You Are by Josh Groban reminds me of Jack too.
Forever Love by Gary Barlow was just out when Wilf was born. I remember looking at him in his cot with FL. playing and crying tears of joy...

Bring him home by Colm Wilkinson (or anyone) reminds me of my dad and brother! Lost both young and it breaks my heart when I hear this song

Detectorists Theme Song - Johnny Flynn

Will you search through the loamy earth for me?
Climb through the briar and bramble
I'll be your treasure
I felt the touch of the kings and the breath of the wind
I knew the call of all the song birds
They sang all the wrong words
I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you
Will you swim through the briny sea for me?
Roll along the ocean's floor?
I'll be your treasure
I'm with the ghosts of the men who can never sing again
There's a place, follow me
Where a love lost at sea
Is waiting for you
Is waiting for you

Aw me too. I learned this in school when I was 5. I used to sing it all the time.

I love the Gordon Lightfoot song, it is wonderful and I listened to it earlier

Passenger - Holes

Taylor swift -ronan

About a 4 year old who died of cancer. Can't even start listening to it.

Mine is No Cars go by Arcade Fire.

The JCB Song makes me think of my Dad as it was ‘our’ song. It came out when I was about 10; we both instantly loved it, and it was even going to be the song we danced to at my wedding. We sang it (very badly) at an open mic night once when we’d both had a few beers and almost nobody else there knew the song.

I played it to him on repeat when he was in a coma to try and bring him back to me but he never woke up. It’s only been a year so I’m not ready to hear it again yet, but hoping one day soon I’ll be able to listen and smile as it’s such a gorgeous song.

How long will I love you Ellie Goulding. Can't get past the first line without sobbing

This is one of my favourite songs of all time, it’s so lovely.

Racscall flats .. the broken road.

‘Song to the Siren’ by This Mortal Coil.

‘Me, A Man, Then Jim’ by Rilo Kiley

Echo previous poster saying ‘Sanvean’ by Dead Can Dance.

A Million Dreams / The Greatest Showman

Nick Cave: Into My Arms

I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did, I would kneel down and ask him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Will not to touch a hair on your head
Leave you as you are
If he felt he had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms
Into my arms, oh, Lord
Into my arms, oh, Lord
Into my arms, oh, Lord
Into my arms
And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that's true
But if I did, I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
Well, to each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my arms
Into my arms, oh, Lord
Into my arms, oh, Lord
Into my arms, oh, Lord
Into my arms
But I believe in love
And I know that you do too
And I believe in some kind of path
That we can walk down, me and you
So keep your candles burning
Make her journey bright and pure
That she'll keep returning
Always and evermore
Into my arms, oh, Lord
Into my arms, oh, Lord
Into my arms, oh, Lord
Into my arms

Ong I was going to come on and say Everybody Hurts. Snap

And hope your chemo goes ok

How could I have forgotten this one?

Now - Carpenters. That beautiful voice on the last recording before she died.

Yiruma - River flows in you. It's a piano piece. I Happened upon it by chance and started crying, I don't know why. Less than a week later my father died unexpectedly. When we chose the music for his funeral, they asked for some 'reflection music' for when the curtain goes round the coffin. I knew it had to be this, because I felt like it had been some sort of weird sign.

Faiths Song - Amy Wadge

Gave you all that you needed
You cut but I'm bleeding

And all of my strength that I gave to you
I loved completely
You lose then you leave me
And all of my hope
I left with you too

But I gave my heart whole I did
I gave my heart
An' although it's lost
It is still beating

An' I gave my whole soul I did
I gave my soul

An' although I'm broken
I am still breathing

I will sleep through the moments
All the moments you've stolen
All for my love
I'll learn the truth

That I gave my heart whole I did
I gave my heart

And although it's lost
It is still beating

And I gave my whole soul I did
I gave my soul

And although I'm broken
I am still breathing

Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon & Garfunkle. I used to teach teenagers with life limiting illnesses and on Friday afternoons we used choose songs to sing along to. This was always the choice of one of the students who was very ill and who passed away before her 18th birthday. Hearing it always makes me think of those Friday afternoons and those young people singing along.

Fix you - Coldplay
and
Amazing Grace

Bruce Springsteen - I'll see you in my dreams. Was sobbing uncontrollably after seeing him perform an acoustic version last year and I can't listen to it now without crying.

@Greebosmum that has made me both laugh and get teary at the same time. What a lovely idea!

Kate Bush
This Woman's Work

Oh crikey, that's a sad one 😢
