You instantly cry

[thebodylovesspring]

Just listening to Abbas slipping through my fingers'and can't avoid crying much to the kids amusement.

Also for me nannas speech to Barbara in the 'Royal family'when she says she just wished to be with her family and not in a home.

Also Daddy my Daddy in the railway children.

Also opening sequence of up

What's your weak point?

Wedding bells, Scottish pipers and Don Williams records (remind me of my dad).

definitely Butterfly! I think every child should visit the battle sites.

Oh and now this thread! Just had to explain why I was choked up to hubs and he rolled his eyes and walked off!!!!!

thegreylady bloody hell!! Yes we had that song at Christmas i am so sorry for that laddie he doesn't have a daddy Jesus wept.

Ditto:- Never Ending Story. And if I listen AND watch it (on YouTube), I blubber like a baby :)

That's the one daffy! DH thinks I'm mad lol
Welling up even at the thought of it

The last scene of Cathy Come Home. I literally can't bear it. It really traumatises me

Peepo - can't even get to the end of the first page without sobbing. Same with On the Night You Were Born

Oh god yes Perhaps by Vera Britain!!! What's that bit?
'My heart, for love of you,
Was broken long ago'
Testament of Youth is soooooo sad. Her brother!

There are two bits in Millions by Frank Cottrell Boyce: the bit about the mum's lasagne and 'you were my miracle'
Oh dear :(

Oh God - Two Little Boys.

Yep cathy come home

Am I the only one who cries watching my girl

Testament of Youth is quite possibly THE most heartbreaking book ever. Even more so because it is not fictional! It was undeniably tragic what happened Vera's generation.

Why did I read this thread. So many that others have said- Daddy, my daddy, Waters hip down, brassed off, marley dying, littlest hobo music.

Also, The armed man by Karl Jenkins. Went to see the BSO play it a few years ago and blubbed the whole way through.
The end of Last of the Mohicans where the bloke sacrifices himself and then the sister jumps off the cliff.
Atonement. Watched it shortly after my gran died and it just set me off.

Londonrach I do too

I just cried watching The Restoration Man

I get teary eyed a lot these days. I welled up watching MTV's Catfish the other night FFS.

You know that feeling when something touches you so much it catches your breath?

I work in mental health services for older people. We have a gentleman who is unable to communicate and express himself. He just paces the ward all day long and no matter what we've tried, he doesn't engage with anyone.
We played music in the lounge for our other patients one day a few weeks ago. One of our lovely ladies was singing and trying to get the patients to sing and dance with her. This man came in the room, took both of her hands in his and danced with her for the entire song. He had a huge smile on his face.

All the staff looked at each other with tears in their eyes.

I am also a wuss.

Agree with all the above.

Has anyone else watched a film called The Impossible with Naomi Watts....MY GOD. Absolutely horrific. I had to turn it off, it was torture. Especially when all the siblings were reunited. Please say someone else has wept to this?

Yy to children singing - esp Carols but all children's singing.

Yy to brass music (why I do not know)

The theme music from Schindler's List is almost unbearably poignant.

Nativity Plays.

Quite a few childrens books - certainly Mog and The Velveteen Rabbit.

The thing that made me sob most uncontrollably was seeing a sheep standing over its dead lamb under a tree from across a field not long after I had had a miscarriage. It just stood there, and so did I (and wailed). Ditto, on another occasion, a nest in a tree outside our bedroom window which was sadly emptied of its young inhabitants during a storm that winter. I was in bits and H had to prevent me trying to climb the tree to take it down as I couldn't bear seeing it (he pointed out that it might be of use to some other birds).
Fortunately, my life has moved on, but these two I shall always remember.

The song: 'The Living Years' (Dad died when I was a baby and was mythologised by family....).

My Girl... when Thomas J gets stung by a bee and dies and as he sees him in the coffin.

Gary Barlows 'Fly High' when he admitted to James Cordon that he wrote it about his daughter who was still born.

Loads of this stuff makes me cry, I'm emotionally incontinent since having children but the really embarrassing one is DiY SOS. Every time. Every. Time.

'We'll meet again.' - Johnny Cash version

And yes to, 'In My life', the Johnny Cash version too. Sigh.

And 'Hurt'.

For those who like Welsh choirs, there was a programme about Welsh choirs and the terrible Aberfan disaster on Radio Four the other day. It was very sad.

LEMmingaround

Yes to the Incredible Journey!

I'm assuming you mean the bit in the original where he whistles and there's a pause and then the retriever comes bounding through the bushes?

I cry Everytime at the track "you can let go now daddy"

Dance with my father, again.

Jeruselum,
Abide with me,
Ave Maria,
Any Michael Buble song especially Home,
Most songs actually depending on my mood,
UB40's Kingston Town. These all remind me of my nan....

Birdy, she makes me cry every time I hear her and her new song Not About Angels....

This is my body Broken for you, a really beautiful hymn especially when DD1 sings it...

Movies, pretty much anything, tv shows How I met your mother, scrubs, anything with a break up, death or wedding in, OBEM,

Books same as tv, The fault in our stars, the hunger games,

there are so many more, I can't list all of them I'd be here all day!!!

I'm a sappy wimp lol

The scene in four weddings and a funeral at Gareths funeral where Matthew reads out the Auden poem
Stop the clocks.
