To ask what song makes you cry

[LloydColeandtheCoconuts]

For no reason.

Mine is Wings by Little Mix and I don’t really know why. I’m not even a fan of them, although they’re very cute. I’ve just listened to to the song and the tears are flowing. My DP is .
The other is God Only Knows but I understand why that would make me cry.

Anyway. what songs are guaranteed to make you have good cry.

The flower than shattered the stone - John Denver.... sob

Quirky I've always loved it but then DS sang it's part of his reception School assembly, I was a right mess!!

Don't Give Up by Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel.

Sparkling no wonder! I love it but get choked up and emotional by it. Children singing stuff is guaranteed to be weepy...

Scars on Sam Smiths new album.

I’ve never been overcome by emotion like that ever when listening to a song, got me the very first time I heard it.

Wires by Athlete

A Woman’s Work, Kate Bush
Dance With My Father, Luther Vandross
InThe Living Year’s, Mike & Mechanics
Bridge Over Troubled Water, Simon & Garfunkel
You Are Not Alone, Michael Jackson
Just Another Day, Jon Secada
Something Inside So Strong, Labi Sifre

So many already mentioned.

Forever Young - originally by Bob Dylan but I defy anyone to watch this version and not be reduced to tears

Also, this version of Fix You has me sobbing

I'll See You in my Dreams - concert for George.

DS told me about it with tears in his eyes. I knew then (and many times before) that I had an emotionally mature and decent boy.
DS played it weeks later on ukulele at a gathering for a friend who'd recently died so double blubber.

'Where Does the Time Go' Sandy Denny - what a voice.

Of course 'Nimrod' So few for so many but each one a hero. How dare it be used for a dog food advert!

Heroes - Bowie

I didn't know Supermarket Flowers but it's been mentioned in so many posts here I had to investigate. Another one to add to my list. God, I miss my mum so much...

One Moment More by Mindy Smith. She wrote it when her mother was dying of cancer. I defy anyone to listen to it without crying.

Mindy Smith has the most beautiful voice - Angel Doves is a gem.

So many of these.

But right now Ariane Grande one last time every single time.

littletike it has a whole new meaning now

Not a well known one..... But sad and hauntingly beautiful.
DP and I caught it by accident on Songs of Praise.

Don't Cry Daddy - Elvis Presley
Goodbye My Lover - James Blunt
Who Wants to Live Forever - Queen
And On - Yazoo

Slipping Through My Fingers by Abba.

I cry thinking about my daughter every time I hear it.

Shiny Happy People by REM. Played at my friend's funeral. She knew she was dying of cancer and chose it herself. We were 17 and now I'm nearly 40 and it almost upsets me more than it did then, because I think how much she missed out on.

Ave Maria
Memory from Cats (not helped by scd earlier)
Whole lotta history by 1D. Came out when stbxh had just left without reason. Totally over him now 2 years later, but that song takes me straight back to that moment in time.

Only You - Yazoo

Emmylou Harris and Willie Nelson - Gulf Coast Highway

Only you by Yazoo was played at my grandma's funeral but the Flying Pickets version gets me more for some reason.

I saw Les Miserables on stage
I started crying when Fantine sang i Dreamed a Dream
And carried on weeping the whole show
DD was disgusted
On My Own
Empty Chairs
Bring Him Home
One Day More
( howls )
