Naaaaaa,just downloaded it but didn't make me cry

SeeYouEntee · 28/04/2007 21:07

nothing compares to you - sinead o'connor

SeeYouEntee · 28/04/2007 21:08

slipping through my fingers - abba (but only now that i have a dd!)

I always get a tear in my eyes when I hear the first few chords of 'Maggie May'- it reminds me of my dad so much- he loves Rod Stewart and my most vivid memoris of my childhood have a rod stewart track in the background.

amongst many other songs of course...

If tomorrow never comes. Makes me cry for hours, if i died, would my children know how much I love them? Of course they wouldn't, they wouldn't even remember me or know who I was, queue the tears...

One sweet day - Mariah Carey and Boys II Men

.......god I am seriously cheesy

Missing You by John Waite.

'Everytime I think of you,
I always catch my breath.

And I'm still standing here,
And you're miles away
And I'm wonderin'
Why you left.'

Gets me every time.

So does BoyzIIMen, 'It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday'.

Oh, man, that is HARD.

So is 'Nightshift' by the Commodores, in honour of Marvin Gaye. 'Marvin, hey would you doin' now?'

SeeYouEntee · 28/04/2007 21:13

tiredemma - I get the same thing with Baby's got Blue Eyes - Elton John. [sniff]

calvemjoe - ahhh....yes. that's a v sad song. I torment myself with the lyrics too

How about Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley

The Winner takes it all - abba

hurt - johnny cash

bobsmum · 28/04/2007 21:13

Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol - am in floods every time it's on the radio which is getting a bit dangerous on the roads now. Must be more hard hearted. Would have it at my funeral - honest!

Aloveheart · 28/04/2007 21:15

Fix You by Coldplay is another one that gets me right now.

Wilkie · 28/04/2007 21:24

Aren't we a cheery lot....

Wilkie · 28/04/2007 21:25

PinkChampagne - Song 2 on X and Y gets me but I can't remember the name.....grrrrr

Wilkie · 28/04/2007 21:29

I know you were all desperately waiting with baited breath so I googled it....

What if? - Coldplay - X&Y

NoBiggy · 28/04/2007 21:30

Moments Of Pleasure - Kate Bush, makes me go all peculiar.

scarletpimpernel · 28/04/2007 21:32

The drugs don't work
The Verve

pinkchampagne · 28/04/2007 21:34

Wilkie - song 2 is "What if" & I agree that it is quite an emotional one!

TheDuchessOfNorksBride · 28/04/2007 21:34

The Chrissie Hynde/Pretenders song is 2000 Miles and it was Christmas no. 1 in 1989 (I think).

I almost cry when I sing Hark The Herald Angel Sing - it's something to do with the higher key but I couldn't say what exactly.

LynetteScavo · 28/04/2007 21:35

I don't even know which song it is but it goes on about comming home and Michelle not being there any more, or the room being empty or something. It come on the radio when I was on the school run and i was absolutely sobbing!
Does any one have a clue what the song is?

LilyLoo · 28/04/2007 21:36

Beaches, hero wind beneath my wings, wanted it at mums funeral and catholic priest said no not done thing at catholic funeral

Wilkie · 28/04/2007 21:36
