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?

Dolores Keane has died today, so sad.
Reminds me of my mum all over again.

The Appleton sisters have recently done a cover of this , it's such a beautiful version - really haunting.

Songbird - Fleetwood Mac version

A Different Corner, George Michael

Oh no that’s wrong - can’t go there!

Yes it is upsetting but that is a good outcome I never knew about

@MadisonAvenue I love Waterloo Sunset too, it really speaks of a summer evening in London to me. And I used to commute daily over Waterloo bridge.

For a Friend by the Communards

From the musical Matilda - when I grow up

Eric Clapton - Tears in Heaven

Cried as soon as I saw it typed here. Just cannot listen to it. Was so overwhelmed the first time I heard it.

Landslide by Fleetwood Mac
I know it's over by the Smiths
Breathless by Nick Cave

You’ll Never Walk Alone reminds me of my wonderful dad. It played the last time we went to Anfield together. It was played at hisfuneral too. I can’t bear to hear it now

'Elephant' Jason Isbell
'How can you be gone' Jaimee Harris

Sunshine on Leith - The Proclaimers

A Whiter Shade of Pale - Procol Harum

When Ye Go Away by The Waterboys. It was played at my Dad's funeral.

Oh the video to that song....it makes me think of my mum being reunited with my eldest sister who died shortly after birth. I love that song but the video breaks me every time.

I have faith in you..Edwin Starr.

The y6 class sang it at their final end of term assembly before they left and I properly cried. My own kids were only in reception 😆

Beeswing (ideally Mad Dog Mcrea version)

Wires by Athlete . Can’t listen without choking up . Reminds me of when my daughter was a baby and had her first open heart surgery .

I’m Still Waiting by Diana Ross. And Electrical Storm by U2.

Rockabye. Think it’s clean bandit?

The things some women have to do, and then forcing women to put up with shit gets celebrated by the fucking men.

At first I thought it was just a modern crap song and then I heard the lyrics, it has me in tears every time.

For me too.

I love his version of I Can’t Make You Love Me and that often gets me. So do a lot of his others. I listen to him most days though so they don’t all hit me as hard.

Sometimes it’s hard to know if it’s the songs themselves, or the fact they’re George’s and he’s not here anymore. I know some people think it’s odd but his music is such a massive part of my life and I still get emotional when I think of him being gone.
