Music that makes you cry when you just think about it, let alone listen to it?

[Mintyy]

Mine is the theme tune to the 70s tv series Black Beauty. The closing credits with the black horse galloping through the wheat field.

Sheesh, I am getting all silly just typing that.

I would definitely cry if I were to see/hear it.

Abide with me
Finlandia - the name of the hymn that uses that tune eludes me

Concierto de Aranjuez I don't feel weepy at, but get a lump in my chest, I find it so full of sadness and longing..

The music playing when Buffy jumps.

yes to Finlandia, Be Still My Soul

Tank Park Salute by Billy Bragg. I've always loved it (and all his stuff), but he played it recently at a concert (the day Nelson Mandela died) and I cried for the loss of my dad for the first time (he died last year).

Lots already mentioned. But also Vincent by Don McLean. Johnny Vegas had it on Desert Island Discs and I well up now when I see him or hear him on the radio!

Apologies I haven't read the whole eleven pages so sure to be repeating.

"Cloudbusting" by Kate Bush, makes me think of my late dad.

"Come back to me" by Big Country

"Bomber's Moon" by Mike Harding

Passenger's "Let her go" because it was on the radio just as the vet came out to the car to call us in to have our beloved moggy put down.

"The Minstrel boy" by Thomas Moore

Ones I definitely know have already been mentioned include "The Last Post" and "Nimrod", Dad was a great lover of military band music and had a rough time in Burma during WWII, Remembrance Sunday at the Cenotaph is just one continuous sob.

That's it pedlars! Thank you

it is beautiful, I shall have it at my funeral and have them all sobbing in the pews

Little donkey

No idea why!

Steve Harley, Friend for Life played at a funeral - the words are just beautiful.

The hymn How Great Thou Art. That military wives song from last christmas, it used to cause trouble when i was driving due to tears, and Roberta Flack, The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. All guaranteed weepies.

Toto "Won't Hold You Back"

Shipbuilding, Elvis Costello
Those Were The Days, Queen
Drive, The Cars (at Live Aid 1985)
And 'you've got a friend in me' from 'Toy Story'

Old Shep-Elvis-made us sob when we were little
Love Of My Life -Freddie -miss him
It's Impossible -Johnny Mathis-just because he sings it so beautifully

A number listed on here. Adding Born Free - reminds me of my Grandad.

Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straits

You are my sunshine

I had a weird experience a couple of weeks ago. Was in my car and a song that I haven't heard in years came on and it literally hit me in the chest and I nearly had to pull over as I just wanted to start sobbing.

The song was 'You' by Ten Sharp...not a particularly emotional song but I can only assume that it was linked to a break up with my first boyfriend but don't particularly remember listening to it at the time

it was real emotion tbh and I am scared to listen to it now!!

Has to be 'Massive Attack' - 'Teardrops' ... Reminds me of being told about my first Miscarriage, especially the 'womb' sounds at the beginning of the track

Definitely " The Living Years". Gets me every time.
Also "Carnival is over" by the Seekers and "Dance with my father".

On the night that my cat was PTS I heard a song by Gordon Ligjhtfoot called "If children had wings". About love shining on through the years.
Absolutely finished me.
.
BTW I always thought that in "Puff the Magic dragon" Jackie paper didn't die , he just grew up

Oh Christ, I have a whole list of blubbing songs....

Ride like the wind by Christopher Cross. My exbf committed suicide and this was his favourite song. I still think of him whenever I hear it, realise how much this song described his life and weep for such a young life given up

Ne me quitte pas by Jacques Brel; the sheer desperation and emotion in his voice choke me every time.

A house is not a home by luther Vandross; heard this when exFW had just run off with his secretary and felt the loneliest I had ever felt.

Love of my life by Queen. So sincere.

I know you by heart by Eva Cassidy.

Les aimants de St Jean by Patrick Bruel as it reminds me of a heady, happy and carefree evening being twirled around by an old friend and laughing with my head thrown back - sheer joy and happiness. Which was the moment life seemed better again. And although it should make me smile, the recollection of the emotion I felt at loving life again makes my throat do all sorts of funny things

Billy Joel's lullaby as I have sung it to both my DC since they were born and they sometimes still request a rendition at bedtime eventhough they are now 13 and 10. I know this will be one of their memories of me in years to come...

Oh mio bambino caro by Puccini.
Lost by Anouk
Our house by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
The story by Brandi Carlisle

I could go on for hours....

Wires by athlete. Had my iPod on shuffle as I was waiting to be taken to labour ward. I was quite ill and she was born the next day after I got sicker and she ended up in NICU.

Puff the magic dragon

Matchstick men and matchstick cats and dogs. Came on the radio when I was driving and I heard the lyrics properly

Nimrod

Adagio for strings remember it being played at last night of the proms after 9/11.

Video Games by Lana del Rey. Again a shuffle moment. I was on a plane after having to make a difficult decision at a stressful time. Couldn't cry and this opened the floodgates - quite embarrassing on a plane really.

Rule the world by take that. Takes me back to when my daughter was in NICU and I used to sing it to her.

Lots of others already mentioned too In the Ghetto also Send in the Clowns - so much time wasted and sadness.

rock-a-bye-baby

I love the tune but hate the words, it's essentially about a baby dying.
just horrible.

There are others, but for me this is the worst

Moonlight Sonata - somehow embodies sadness.

anything by don williams reminds me of my dad (rip)

luther dance with my father
