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

Shallow - Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper

Nothing compares - Sinead O'Connor

Love is a losing game - Amy Winehouse

Everybody hurts - REM

Loads more depending on my mood.

Music can make me cry with happiness too!

Oh my gosh yes... what a blast from the past

'39 by Queen

Specifically, the lines:
"For the Earth is old and grey, little darling, we'll away
But my love, this cannot be!
Oh, so many years have gone though I'm older but a year
Your mother's eyes, from your eyes, cry to me"

He's been away on a space mission to find a habitable planet. Although it feels as if he's only been away a year, his wife has long grown old and died and their daughter is now her age. There's some actual clever physics that explains this which Brian May, being an astrophysicist, obviously built in...

Days by Kirsty MaColl

Love a good cry to a song.

Queen - These Are The Days Of Our Lives
Pretenders - Kid
Five For Fighting - The Riddle
Mike And The Mechanics - The Living Years
Christina Aguilera - Hurt

Billy Joel - and so it goes . Especially like the kings singers version

God only knows- beach boys
to make you feel my love- Adele’s version.
fix you- Coldplay

Taylor Swift - Never Grow Up
Nelly Furtado - Try
Art Garfunkel - Bright Eyes

No one’s ever heard of it but Clay Aiken - Proud of Your Boy (lost song from Disney’s Aladdin) makes me howl as I massively identify due to disappointing parents in the past etc.

This Woman's Work..Kate Bush

You Could Be Happy..Snow Patrol

Don’t give up - Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush
If you’re not the one - Daniel Bedingfield
Both for the music not the sentiment.

Freda Payne - band of gold - mums funeral. Ditto candle in the wind.

Oddly let me go .... Gary barlow

Hurt - Christina Aguilera

Forgot about some of these beautiful songs tomorrow I will have a good listening session - thank you

Dido -Thank You
john Denver - Leaving on a Jet Plane

I lived Clay Aiken when he was on American Idol, what a voice!

Somewhere Over The Rainbow - Eva Cassidy (played at my DM’s funeral, likewise You Are Not Alone - Michael Jackson.

Also Firework - Katy Perry, DS related.

Sunshine on Leith. A song of mourning in this house but it brings much so much comfort.

Also -

'Wichita Lineman' by Glen Campbell ("And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time")

'Everything I Own' by Bread.

I cry at quite a lot of songs, in fact. And at books and films. But hardly ever in real life.

Quite a few but especially the songs I chose for my dad’s funeral including Blackbird and Here comes the sun by the Beatles. So many theatre powerful songs, and tears in heaven Eric Clapton as it was playing at my friends brothers funeral who died age 17.

Radiohead, high and dry ("all your insides fall to pieces, you just sit there wishing you could still make love"). Reminds me of my sister who we lost to breast cancer way too young.

Who wants to live forever- Queen

I love the Johnny Cash version

You mentioned Bread - It Don’t Matter To Me has me in tears every time. Lovely lovely band.

Dance with my Father - Luther Vandross
Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton

Among so many others!

Oh I love this... I cry super easily but some songs make me cry at the the drop of a hat.
Kate Bush.. this woman's work
Kate Bush.. don't give up
Jamie Lawson.. I wasn't expecting that
James Arthur..say you won't let go
I put these songs on in the car but get immediately emotional and have to turn them off 😆
