To have a song that makes me weep for no reason

[strawberrypig]

But for every reason! We all have a song that just gets to you, mine is Joni Mitchell's 'Both sides now' m.youtube.com/watch?v=aCnf46boC3I
So bitter sweet, reminds me of really sad times and really, really happy times too. What are your bitter sweet songs?

Holding back the years by Simply Red. I boo every time!

Sade “by your side”

Bob the Builder. BecUse he can never fix it for me

Fast car - Tracy Chapman

Fast car! That was the song I played for all my labours, so special.

The Scientist by Coldplay. I don’t know if I like it but it makes me sob.
I had to leave a shop once when it came on.

Turning Page by Sleeping at Last

Slipping Through My Fingers

Bridge Over Troubled Water by S & G

Streets of London does it every time

Slipping through my fingers and My Love My Life - ABBA
Also Yesterday Once More, the Carpenters.

@strawberrypig I’ve never heard that song before and it made me feel very emotional!

Johnny Cash’s Hurt kills me.

Taylor Swifts 'Never Grow Up' makes me bawl.

Also her song Ronan but the whole reason for that song is just so sad anyway.

a la claire fontaine. In the film The Painted Veil.

"i have loved you so long and will never forget you".

All Time Love, Will Young. Snot everywhere.

Bright eyes - bloody rabbits 🐇

Slipping through my fingers - YY, Streets of London- YY and Honey (Bobby Goldsboro) are all understandable and subject matters that are emotive - they all make me cry.

Beyond the Blue Horizon, on the other hand is meant to be a happy song about the future and opportunities - and it makes me sob like a baby. I've always liked the song, but when a good friend died in a car accident I was listening to the song quite by chance and suddenly I interpreted as my friend being beyond the blue horizon and the 'beautiful day' was heaven/afterlife and I think I realised I would never see him again. From that point on the song for me is linked with loved ones dying. Now when I hear the song I think about my mum. I still love the song but, by god, it crushes my to listen to it (my mum died 10 years ago and my friend 14
years)

In The Ghetto by Elvis Presley. Big snotty ugly crying every single time.

You could be happy - snow patrol

Keane - Somewhere Only We Know and Athlete - Wires

Guaranteed to make me cry if I’m on my period. At all other times I can cope.

Johnny Cash Hurt for me too.
Suspicious Minds Elvis Presley

Baby mine from dumbo.

Lots of others too actually!

Also I cry when children sing- school assemblies, choir performances, nativity play.... I'm a mess!

In the living years, Mike & the mechanics. I'm very lucky to have both my parents still but it makes me think of what it will be like to one day lose them. Beautiful song though.

May It Be by Enya. Had it at my Dad’s funeral last year.
