Pretenders - I'll Stand By You. Really sums up how protective I am of DS.

pinkchampagne · 28/04/2007 21:41

Listened to the X&Y album while ironing today & had a bit of a tearful moment!

FunMumm · 28/04/2007 21:41

Eva Cassidy - fields of gold

Michael Jackson - you are not alone, this was playing all the time when I had my miscarriage..

Wilkie · 28/04/2007 21:42

Oh my god FunMumm - you are so right, Fields of Gold makes me sob......

LynetteScavo · 28/04/2007 21:42

I did actually cry at Two Little Boys by Rolf harris once

Wilkie · 28/04/2007 21:42

Dry your Eyes - The Streets

Reminds me of when I left my ex-DP...

Rachmumoftwo · 28/04/2007 21:44

I'll stand by you- was it by the Cranberries? Came on the radio after visit the grave of a good friend who died young, still makes me sad (and happy to have known him) when I hear it now. It was like he was saying don't be sad, everything will be fine. Feel emotional just writing this, and it was 10 years ago.

Rachmumoftwo · 28/04/2007 21:44

Just read it was the pretenders. x

pinkchampagne · 28/04/2007 21:44

Goodbye my lover - James Blunt
Infact most of his stuff makes me want to slit my wrists, but this song especially!

pointydog · 28/04/2007 21:56

hallelujah, the buckley one. has someone saud that?

pointydog · 28/04/2007 21:57

what's the radiohead one about plastic tees?

multitasker · 28/04/2007 21:57

Christy Moore - The Voyage
The Police - Every Breath you take
Simon&Garfunkel - Bridge over troubled waters
Paul Weller - You do something to me
Eva Cassidy - Fields of Gold

Well - maybe not hysterically, but all pack a real emotional punch for me.

High and Dry by Radiohead makes me go all funny

pinkchampagne · 28/04/2007 22:11

Pointydog - the Radiohead song is actually called Fake Plastic Trees. It is track 2 on The Bends album.

pointydog · 28/04/2007 22:13
