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?

And this one

Johnny Cash's cover of Nick Cave's the Mercy Seat. I make the mistake of listening to it on the tube once and people around me must've thought something really bad had happened as I could hardly hold back the tears. (In my defense, I'm pregnant...)

Bury Me Naked by Merry Hell.

I've requested this is played at my funeral. The lyrics are beautiful and uplifting in equal measures.

Labelled with Love by Squeeze

Chasing Cars - I have to turn it off if it comes on the radio.

An embarrassing admission here, but for some reason ‘Fields of Gold’ does it every time - worse: Sting’s version For the poignant reason we have lost her beautiful voice forever, hearing Kirsty McColl singing ‘Fairytale of New York’ sets me off as well - ‘You took my dreams from me...’ ah!

'Wires' by Athlete. Oh my.

Into my arms by nick cave for me.

Power of love - Frankie goes to Hollywood.

I always cry when it comes on the radio, it’s a permanent sobfest in my car at Christmas time

Well, there is a reason: it's heartbreaking but beautiful.

Imogen Heap - Jude and seek
And this one

Always on my mind - Elvis
A cover was on an advert not long ago and it got me every time.
I have lots of these songs though. I'm an emotional person 🙈

Seasons in the sun.

'Good bye my love it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky's

Every time

Blake Shelton “Home”, with or without Michael Bublé.

ABBA: the winner takes it all.

Love of my Life - Queen

Simple Twist of Fate
Bob Dylan

This one is quite beautiful but sad.

Supermarket Flowers by Ed Sheeran. I just can't listen to it anymore!

Luther Vandross - So Amazing.

Reminds me of the car journeys we made on a Sunday to visit my lovely nan and grandad when I was a child. My dad would play the same cassette in the car every week and that song just brings back so many memories.

My lovely nan passed away in 1999 and my lovely grandad went 6 months later from a broken heart.

The song makes me sad but also brings back nice memories I have of them.

Slipping Through My Fingers (I have only heard this ONCE on the radio and I was a mess! Not brave enough to listen again on purpose)

Always on My Mind, Willy Nelson or Elvis

Never Enough from the Greatest Showman.

Also Wings by Birdy - something about it makes me think of my mum.

Helium by Sia.

Quite a few- luther vandross, dance with my father ( i was proper balling at this on the radio). My chemical romance- the black parade, and Eva cassidy- somewhere over the rainbow

And this one....... (I have quite the collection of sad songs)

Parliament Hill Fields by The Lilac Time. Played it a lot in dh's car when I was driving it back and forth to hospital when my Dad was dying. "How time flies, so sick of goodbyes, I wish that I could stay" oh and I'm gone again
