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?

Yes to some of the old Barry Manilows. Trying to get the feeling, Weekend in New England, Even Now. He stopped by our local pub for fish and chips a few years ago en route to a tour venue and I told him that the most emotional and traumatic (and forbidden) relationship I ever had was played out to a backdrop of these songs. 😂

Witcheta Lineman is one of my fave songs ever. It's perfect in every way

Queen - days of our lives

I can't ever listen to it without becoming a sobbing mess

Also sunscreen by Baz Luhrmann

I remember first listening to it as a naive single 19 year old. I can't listen now without getting the absolute feels

I love Days of Our Lives. I had it at my Dad’s funeral last year. It makes me cry whenever I hear it.

When you were sweet 16 by the Fureys. Reminds me of my mum.

When you were sweet 16 by the Fureys.

Yes! I said their version of The Green Fields Of France earlier in the thread but this is the other one that gets me. So beautiful.

The Great Gig In The Sky by Pink Floyd. And I don't even like Pink Floyd. But that song (if you can call it a song) - I'm a wreck.

And Mccarthur Park

God yes... I'd forgotten the Great Gig in the Sky.

Rule the World- Take That.

Gary Barlow had to perform it at the Olympics ceremony, literally days after his daughter was still born. I can't even write this, hear it or think about it without thinking of him. I am not even a Gary Barlow fan, the words though.

Bruno Mars - When I was your man

open up your door by richard hawley...absolutely destroys me, in a good way!

@SpawnChorus Yes!

That reminds me: The Rainbow Connection

acatcalledjohn The Rainbow Connection makes me cry too! Especially, the part about the sailors hearing the call of the sea. It has special meaning for me as it reminds me both of my late father and now husband.

Waltzing Matilda - Rod Stewart. Played at my Dad’s funeral.

Secret Smile - Semisonic. Takes me right back to one of the worst times.

Over the rainbow

I just keep remembering more and more.

I must cry ALOT
