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.

The mention of Dance with my Father had me welling up and some of the stories here have just finished me off.

Agree with These are the Days of Our Lives, just such a heartbreaking song.

Ya Tayr by Fairouz - it's the longing and heartbreak in her voice.

Crying by Roy Orbison. That man knew sadness.

The Cbeebies goodnight song, ever since someone on here said their friend had read it at their 2 year old's funeral.

Somewhere over the Rainbow, Eva Cassidy. After my third miscarriage I couldn't cry even when I wanted to. It was very odd. Then one day this came on and I just sat on the floor and howled.

Pass me the tissue box......

Sorry all those who remember songs with sadness

Adding another - Don't Give Up by Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel.

Oh I've just thought of another one, Romeo and Juliet by dire straits.

All three hours of Les Miserables! Even the funnies! Going to have 'No song unsung, no wine untasted' on my tombstone.

The Scottish folk song Annachie Gordon. It reminds me of being on holiday in Dunblane on the day of the shooting :-(

Oh and Ne me quitte pas by Jacques Brel. Such emotion in his voice.

"We've only just begun" the Carpenters. Lots by them, actually. Karen had an amazing voice

Liebestod, Tristan and Isolde.

One of the most beautiful, gut wrenchingly sad pieces I've heard.

All three hours of Les Miserables! Even the funnies! Going to have 'No song unsung, no wine untasted' on my tombstone.

you get really involved

Wild Horses by The Rolling Stones because we played it at my husband's funeral. It started playing on the radio the other week and I had to pull the car over to the side of the road.

It's a song with excrutiatingly painful but amazing emotions.

Any track from REMs Automatic for the People because I played it nonstop after hubby died and love every track.

Chasing cars. It was played at my dearest friends funeral, and the image of her 4yo dd kissing the casket and saying 'goodbye Mummy' will make me cry forever

Oh

Strange, I heard "in the ghetto" yesterday and started crying - brilliant (if exaggerated) example of families and children who are victims of circumstance and how the cycle is difficult to break

Oh yes and two little boys - I had to oull over in the car once. Wish you were here.
On every street by dire straits - was playing in the car the day I found out some bad news about my dad (all fine now) and the fact that he is a huge mk fan, plus the line "it's yiur face I'm looking for on every street" had me in floods of tears. In fact im going to have to shut this now, am at work

REM - Everybody Hurts, I played it on repeat for days after a friend was killed in a car accident, it still gets me every time.

The Last Post - it was played at my dad's funeral and I always get a lump in my throat when I hear it.

I don't really have any cheery songs for remembering things though, must try and think of some!

Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler!

Mostly because as a child it always made me howl - I thought the lady sounded so sad

Calon Lan, not just me but DS3 too. He had to sing it in the school choir and could not get through it without tears.
In The Ghetto...Elvis
Don't Give Up....Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush
Army Dreamers.....Kate Bush
Amazing Grace....if sung by a MVC I just crumple.
Bridge over Troubled Waters......Simon and Garfunkel. Garfunkels voice takes my breath away.
Sweet Child of Mine....played at my niece's funeral. She was only 12. I have to turn it off if it comes on the radio. Not a sad song for others but heartbreaking for my family.:(

Oh and another one - the adagietto from Mahler's fifth. It's on the soundtrack to Death in Venice as Dirk Bogarde dies quietly and unnoticed on the beach.

Lord Of The Dance
When A Knight Won His Spurs
The theme to the TV series of The Secret Garden.

Eyes prickling now!

Who Knows where the time goes by Sandy Denny

the saddest piece of music for me is from the Deerhunter "Cavatina" it is beautiful but oh my does it make me cry. Birghteyes makes me cry too and Dream a Little Dream of Me

Biffy Clyro - Folding Stars. Especially the line "I would do anything for another minute with you, because it's not getting easier".
