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?

Elton john and that one about princess diana.
not the marilyn monroe version - i'm totally fine with that. It was in my very early 20s. When I heard the Princess Diana version one day around the anniversary and I'm the same age as Prince William and just thinking about the loss of your mother so young just absolutely choked me up, and ever since then, I cannot cope with that song.

I can’t listen to ‘Ronan’ by Taylor Swift.

Call your mom - Noah Kahan

Swan Song - Amble

Before you go - Lewis Capaldi

Visiting Hours - Ed Sheeran

Dannys Song - Loggins & Messina

Billy Stay - Zach Bryan

Tears In Heaven - Eric Clapton

Goodbye My Lover - James Blunt

The Best Day - Taylor Swift

Ronan - Taylor Swift

Gordon lightfoot - i you could read my mind

Oh another, Godspeed by the Chicks.
A friend shared it after her 12 year old son's death so it makes me think of him.

Cast, Walkaway.
If you've done, all there is to do
There ain't nothing left for you
Just walkaway, walkaway, walkaway

And Hearts of olden glory by Runrig.

'Who Wants To Live Forever' by Queen. There's a version with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and it's just spine tingling. Gets me every time.

Yes, agree with A Different Corner, also Jesus to a Child, and You Have Been Loved, by George Michael. No singer has the emotional impact for me. What a voice, what a wonderful soul, what a loss.

Family portrait by Pink

@GriseldaandMike Scrolled through to see if anyone else had metioned James Blunt, The Girl That Never Was, it’s a beautiful, heartbreaking song. I honestly believe it helped me on some level.

@NotAWurstToItIve been to so many funerals that played YNWA, DH is a Liverpool fan and it makes me emotional hearing it at the football never mind a funeral.

I’ll think of more…

Procol harum, whiter shade of pale or edison lighthouse, love grows 🥰.

Quite a recent one for me - I ain’t healed by Whisky Circuit says all I’m thinking after husband died suddenly 8 months ago 😭

And

Evergreen - Streisand

I love that song. I like a lot of his songs actually.

Another one for Del Amitri - Driving with the brakes on.

Cyndi Lauper - Time after time. Remind me of singing it to my newborn daughter whilst thinking of how absolutely shit my own mother is. I was singing it to her so she knew I'd always be there for her (time after time)

And you'll all think I'm weird but I can't listen to The Pogues - Fairytale of New York without bubbling up especially

'I could have been someone", well, so could anyone
You took my dreams from me when I first found you
I kept them with me, babe, I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone, I've built my dreams around you

Has me in floods every time, every year!

Yes this, and also Lucky Man. Not a sad song but there’s something about Richard Ashcroft’s voice.

Also

Leonard Cohen - Famous Blue Raincoat
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
Ray Lamontagne - Jolene

Bad dream - Keane, it was in a sad episode of the comedy show scrubs and it always makes me cry!!

Love this song but prefer the DJ Sammy version.

Same, came to post this. I always think of my Sister and how desperate she was when she killed herself ❤️

@NippyNinjaCrabi am really sorry for your loss and also that your sister felt that was her only way out. Big hug x

Oh my gosh yes puff the magic dragon so bloody sad “now dragons live forever but not so little boys”

god this thread is making me so sad

Blinded By Your Grace ~ Stormzy

We chose supermarket flowers for my wee MIL funeral, I've not listened to it since, 💔
