What song gets you every time

[Tooconfused12]

For me it’s Bryan Adams - “Heaven.” It has such a powerful tug on my heart and soul. It says something profound. It’s so intimate and musically simple but beautifully composed. It feels raw somehow.

I have always loved it, will always love it. Never get tired of listening to it and feel the same deep pulls of profound emotion when I hear it.

What song has this effect on you?

Sinead O’Connor - Troy
I can’t explain what it does to me, completely stops me in my tracks.

Winter by Tori Amos makes me cry like no other song… love to sing it but can’t before I am wracked by sobs

Caledonia by Dolores Keane, we played it as my mums funeral so every time I hear it I remember being in the crematorium.

Verdi, Madam Butterfly aria Un Bel Di. Beautiful.

Monster by James Blunt
Living Years by Mike and the Mechanics

@EvangelineTheNightStar

Just listened to Monsters -oh my goodness - so emotionally loaded!!

Oh God me too Living Years.

U2 - With or without you

Who Knew by Pink. Like many songs it depends on the context in which you listen to them, but for me this is a song that resonated with my daughter when her boyfriend of 3 years took his own life, she was 19 and he was 24. Makes me sad for what could have been.

This Woman's Work, Kate Bush

There are a few for me, but one that immediately comes to mind is Nimrod by Edgar Elgar. It's not a song, as in no lyrics, but the music moves me each and every time. It's played at Remembrance ceremonies. I can't cry on cue, but put an earpiece on me and play Nimrod, guaranteed I'll be in floods of tears.

Tears in heaven, Eric Clapton.

Creep - Radiohead

Nimrod by Edgar Elgar definitely reminds me of Remembrance.

Kristy, Are You Doing Okay? - The Offspring.

Slipping Through My Fingers, Abba.

Impossible to listen to without crying.

Hey Jude by The Beatles was a struggle for YEARS as it was played at my DB's friend's funeral. They were 17 when he died and it broke everyone's hearts, I couldn't listen to it without crying for years but cope better now.

I can’t listen to Tears in Heaven.
I lost a baby at birth. I think it would be the same for anyone who has ever lost a child. It may have helped him when he wrote it, though.

Bloody hell just listened to the James Blunt song, had to switch off it got me that much.

Slipping through my fingers for me too.

I remember going to see the mamma Mia film with my mum right before I left for university and we balled our eyes out together during that song. She died when I was 26 and I can’t even think of the song without crying.

Right now it's This Isn't Everything You Are by Snow Patrol

Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own by U2

Dean lewis, how do i say goodbye, floods after the first line 😭

Lullaby by Billy Joel, this was my sons funeral song, so simple and beautiful.

Top of the World - The Chicks

Sunshine on Leith by The Proclaimers. Always get a tear in my eye!

Carry You Home by Alex Warren
Momma Song by Benson Boone
