Anyone else have songs, or bits of songs that make your heart hurt?

[AntsDeck]

Because they are 'that good'? I realise different songs may affect people differently

I have lots:

The last part of Do the right thing, Simply Red
The last part of Light my fire, Will Young
The whole of Sandstorm, Darude
The chorus of Love Love, Take That
The chorus of The Flood, Take That
The whole of Praying for time, George Michael
The whole of Sing Hallelujah, Dr Alban
The last chorus, to the end Confusion, ELO
The last bit, to fade, Rise, Gabrielle
All of Don't You, Simple Minds
All of Shine, Years and Years
All of Paradise by the dashboard light, Meatloaf
All of Home By The Sea, Genesis

Just off the top of my head

Rites of Passage by Fish, particularly the line "living with you is like being parked on double yellow lines, waiting to be towed away, I'll pay the fine and I'll be back, but I'm running out of of reasons to stay". An ex broke up with me by playing this song to me, and even though nearly 20 years has passed I still cry when I hear it.

Merry Christmas Darling by the Carpenters
Time to say goodbye - Andrea Boccelli and Sarah Brightman

My friend sent this to me when my DD was stillborn.

see the tears you cry
They're tears I cannot dry
Know what you're going through
My heart goes out to you
There's nothing I can say
To take your pain away
I'm not sure what to do
My heart goes out to you
You know I feel so bad
To see you hurt so bad
But angels spread their wings
Over everything
There's one thing no one knows
Why things go the way they go
We'll never have a clue
My heart goes out to you
When you're overcome
When you need someone
I'll be the friend you need
Like you have been to me
I see the tears you cry
One day they'll all be dry
But until they do
My heart goes out to you
My heart goes out to you
My heart goes out to you

Just realised I forgot my all-time favourite- The District Sleeps Alone Tonight by the Postal Service

You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex
A stranger with your door key explaining that I’m just visiting
And I am finally seeing
Why I was the one worth leaving
Why I was the one worth leaving
I'll wear my badge
A vinyl sticker with big block letters adhering to my chest
That tells your new friends
I am a visitor here
I am not permanent

You have been loved by George Michael.

'For what's the use in pressing palms
When children fade in mothers arms'

'You brushed my eyes with angels wings,
Full of love
The kind that makes devils cry.'

That song has always made my heart hurt but since my son died I can't listen to it without sobbing.

Run By Leona Lewis and Explosion by Ellie Goulding

Please Please Please by the Smiths. So short and so perfectly full of longing.

Take This Waltz by Leonard Cohen. Particularly:

“Oh my love, oh my love
Take this waltz, take this waltz
It's yours now, it's all that there is”

Lots of things by Leonard Cohen. Hey, That’s No Way to Say Goodbye. And Take This Waltz, particularly:

Oh, shit

Not The Only One by Sam Smith
You and I by Lady Gaga
Jealous by Labrinth

Great thread. Mine is 'Emotionless' by Good Charlotte

Hey dad
I'm writing to you
Not to tell you, that I still hate you
Just to ask you
How you feel
And how we fell apart
How this fell apart
Are you happy out there in this great wide world?
Do you think about your sons?
Do you miss your little girl?
When you lay your head down
How do you sleep at night?
Do you even wonder if we're all right?
But we're all right
We're all right
It's been a long hard road without you by my side
Why weren't you there all the nights that we cried
You broke my mother's heart
You broke your children for life
It's not okay,
But we're alright
I remember the days, you were a hero in my eyes
But those were just a long lost memory of mine
I spent so many years learning how to survive
Now, I'm writing just to let you know that I'm still alive
The days I spent so cold, so hungry
Were full of hate
I was so angry
Those scars run deep inside this tattooed body
There's things I'll take, to my grave
But I'm okay
I'm okay
It's been a long hard road without you by my side
Why weren't you there all the nights that we cried
You broke my mother's heart
You broke your children for life
It's not okay,
But we're all right
I remember the days, you were a hero in my eyes
But those were just a long lost memory of mine
Now, I'm writing just to let you know that I'm still alive
Yeah, I'm still alive
Sometimes
I forgive
Yeah and this time
I'll admit
That I miss you, said I miss you
It's been a long hard road without you by my side
Why weren't you there all the nights that we cried
You broke my mother's heart
You broke your children for life
It's not okay,
But we're all right
I remember the days, you were a hero in my eyes
But those were just a long lost memory of mine
Now, I'm writing just to let you know that were still alive
And sometimes
I forgive
And this time
I'll admit, that I miss you, miss you
Hey dad

Baby Mine from Dumbo 😢

Another one for Coldplay’s Fix You. I will dive to change over / skip on if ever it comes on accidentally. Purely reserved for terrible times when I really need the mother of all bawls.

Wasn’t really aware of it before but am obviously so these days and can’t listen to Ariana Grande’s One Last Time.

I haven’t listened to Bright Eyes in ages. Might go and dig some out tonight, more happily.

All of this song - Little Talks/Of Monsters and Men

Hey! Hey! Hey!
I don't like walking around this old and empty house
So hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear
The stairs creak as I sleep,
It's keeping me awake
It's the house telling you to close your eyes
And some days I can't even trust myself
It's killing me to see you this way
'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Hey! Hey! Hey!
There's an old voice in my head
That's holding me back
Well tell her that I miss our little talks
Soon it will all be over, and buried with our past
We used to play outside when we were young
And full of life and full of love
Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right.
Your mind is playing tricks on you my dear
'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Hey!
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
You're gone, gone, gone away,
I watched you disappear
All that's left is a ghost of you
Now we're torn, torn, torn apart,
there's nothing we can do,
Just let me go, we'll meet again soon
Now wait, wait, wait for me, please hang around
I'll see you when I fall asleep
Hey!
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!
Though the truth may vary
this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Hey!
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

The lyrics to "waiting for that day " by George Michael
Lose yourself by eminem. Tells a story.
White lines and the message by grand master flash. Powerful.
Cry baby, guilty and still around by paloma faith.
November Rain by guns n roses
Cats in the cradle
Loads more! I am passionate about music.

When I was your man - Bruno Mars
Wind beneath my wings - Bette Midler

Daysleeper by REM

Dm and Thatbloody - cracking lyrics

How Long Will I love You, Ellie Goulding
Spectrum, Florence. This one is so good it makes my heart hurt, rather than the lyrics

The drugs don't work, they just make you worse but I know I'll see your face again

The Water - Johnny Flynn and Laura Marling

"Now the land that I knew is a dream
And the line on the distance grows faint
So wide is my river
The horizon a sliver
The artist has run out of paint
Where the blue of the sea meets the sky
And the big yellow sun leads me home
I'm everywhere now
The way is a vow
To the wind of each breath by and by"

Ripples - Genesis
Angels never know it's time,
To close the book and gracefully decline

Thatbloody- I love that whole album.

Some hid scars and some hid scratches
It made me wonder about their past
And as I looked around, I began to notice
That we were nothing like the rest

"And then, we tried to name our babies,
But we forgot all the names that,
The names we used to know"

Arcade Fire, Neighbourhood 1.

Say something, I'm giving up on you...
I can never remember the artist (should have googled it before posting really) but it gets me every time.
