To ask what songs make you cry?

[nibbledhiscable]

I've got loads. Some played at DC's funeral

Eva Cassidy - Songbird
Fields of Gold
Somewhere over the rainbow

Kate Bush - Running up that Hill, Kate Bush - Woman's work

Pretenders - Stand by you

Sia - Alive

Amazing Grace, bagpipes

So many

Fix you
dont panic
spies
everglow - all Coldplay
remind me of my brother 💔

This was on the radio when I sat with my mum on end of life, the words really resonated with me. I was a blubbering wreck!

Nothing compares- sinead o connor

make it rain- Ed Sheehan

Always on my mind Willie Nelson or Elvis
I’m not in love 10CC
Death is not the end Nick Cave
Beyond the sea Bobby Darin
All leave me in a heaving, blubbing mess when I hear them.

Theres quite a few. When Judy Boucher Cant Be With You Tonite was a hit in 1987, i found that made me teary. Also The Greatest Love Of All Whitney Houston. Not sure why but Blowing iIn The Wind by Bob Dylan does. Was sat in a cafe last year and Moonshadow by Cat Stevens came on the radio, tears streamed down my face. Gaye by Clifford T Ward because it was one of my mum's favourite songs.

Tears In Heaven
Small Bump
Fields of Gold
A Thousand Years
See You Again
Dance With My Father
All Out of Love

When I was little, I used to cry to Molly Malone (when she died of a fever)!

Oh - and definitely In The Arms of the Angel

Alone again naturally - Gilbert o sullivan

Vincent - Don mcclean

Jim Croce, Time In a Bottle

I also get weepy in When I Grow Up from Matilda, as my son's class sang it at the end of Year 2, and all the parents were sobbing!!

My friend always weeps in This Woman's Work by Kate Bush after the harrowing scene in The Handmaid's Tale when all the handmaids thought they were going to be killed. I've just listened to it and now I'm crying!

The Association with "Never My Love"

I don't know why - I think it's the strings but it always makes me feel sad/weepy but with an added sense of horror/dread.

There are a few songs, books, movie scenes that do this to me - I've tried to explain it to other people but no one else seems to experience this.

Otis Reading - I've been loving you

this song kills me, it reminds me of Marco Simoncelli, a MotoGP rider who died on the track in Sepang & the tributes used this song 💔

I am in a sad place at the moment. I always thought the songs that would have the most emotional impact would be deep and meaningful. However, it is the simple messages of songs like 'Goodbye; (Kenny Rogers), 'I'll See You Again' (Westlife) and 'Tears in Heaven' (Eric Clapton) that really get to me. Currently, I cannot listen to them.

For whom the bell tolls - Bee Gees

Barbra Streisand - All in Love is Fair (actually think it's a Stevie Wonder song)

Yebba - My Mind. I was literally astonished when I first heard this woman sing, I cry like a baby everytime I hear her especially this song. Yebba's Heartbreak is beautiful too.

Ethel Waters, Suppertime
Youtube it
It's about a woman who has just heard her husband has been lynched by a mob, but she still has to give her kids the evening meal...

Meet me in heaven- Johnny cash

Sunrise Sunset from Fiddler on the Roof. Every time. 😭

Black Sabbath.......a beautiful haunting ballad called CHANGES

Played at my wonderful husband's funeral. He was only 39 😢

You are my sunshine by Johnny Cash. Just listen to the lyrics. Sob every single time. Fortunately not played on radio often

You are my sunshine. I sat singing this to my Dad when he was dying. I miss him.

Where have all the flowers gone? Pete Seeger
Streets of London Ralph McTell
Eleanor Rigby
Empty Chairs at Empty Tables ( Les Mis)
Be Still my Soul (To Finlandia hymn)

and very personally because it was on a loop at a restaurant the night before OH went to the Falklands for the second time.
Sealed with a kiss (Jason Donovan)

Seasons in the Sun
Green, Green Grass of Home
