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?

She used to be mine, by Sarah Barielles

Dear Mr President, Pink

Ronan by Taylor Swift. I just weep everytime.

Feels like Home by Randy Newman. Linda Ronstadt and several others have sung it. I heard it first in a film. Lovely lyrics.

👆

Came to say this. Tears every single time!

Nina Simones version of Here comes the sun.
Des'rees kissing you, gets me blubbing every time.

I Can’t Make You Love Me - Bonnie Raitt
Both Sides Now - Joni Mitchell
Driving With The Brakes On - Del Amitri

Maria Callas mamma morta in Philedelpiha, goodness me, absolutely soul wrenching

Bridge over troubled water by Simon and Garfunkel - I mean its a comfort mostly but does sometimes catch me out if Im having a particularly bad time.

Fast Car by Tracy Chapman. So very sad.

dance with my father. Mine died when I was a child and it just brings such longing when it plays, especially now as a grown up with problems and stress and just wishing my dad could save the day.

Fields of gold - Eva Cassidy. Had 2 funerals recently where it was played and I was in bits.

Up the Junction by Squeeze and Babuskha by Kate Bush. It’s the tragedy of love that didn’t work out because of inadequacies brought to the table by one or both partners. Inevitable but unnecessary

Yes, also Slipping Through My Fingers by ABBA; that’s so poignant even my DSs start to cry when I do with this one,

Luca by Suzanne Vega.

Margherita by Harvey Andrews.

Man of the world by Peter Green ( fleetwood Mac). Also, Alone Again, Naturally by Gilbert O’Sullivan. 😢

Zoe Jane by Staind, also Outside by Staind

Sound Of Silence by Disturbed

Grey Street by Dave Matthews Band

not everyone has heard them and that makes me quite sad!

Also leader of the pack

I don’t think I mean leader of the pack… although that is quite sad, it’s the one where Laura and Tommy were lovers and then Tommy did one last race to win enough money for a wedding ring and died. He says “tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her, tell Laura not to cry, my love for her will never die”

also Big John, who saved them all from the mineshaft AND the song that is about the collapsed mine “have you seen my wife mr jones… don’t go talking too loud you’ll cause a landslide”

She speaks in colours by Thea Gilmore. A beautiful song written in memory of a teenage girl.

But You First by Manana

@TheGirlWhoLived , that was 'Tell Laura I Love Her'.

My Love, My Life by ABBA
Someone Like You by Adele, really shook me first time I heard it

Up the Junction by Squeeze was based on Up the Junction.

Take Me Home by Nathan Barr. It sums up my home sickness perfectly not just for a physical place but a time in my life when I was blissfully happy. I want it played at my funeral.
