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.

I like the First Time Ever I saw Your Face. and Adeles broken realtionship songs.

spanish sahara by foals. too beautiful

and the unforgiven by metallica. reminds me of someone.

Metal Heart - By Cat Power.

Reminds me of a horrid ex or two

I defy anyone with a teenage girl to listen to The Special Years by Val Doonican and not be reduced to absolute mush.

"Seasons In The Sun", Terry Jacks. My little sister and I used to bellow it in the back of the car on the way to school in the 70s. She died aged 39 and I can't hear that song now without wibbling a bit.

Days, by the Kinks - my Dad quoted it in his speech at my wedding and my brothers, soppy old chap that he was, and we played it at his funeral as the soundtrack to a montage of photos, we used the live at Glastonbury version, because he loved Glastonbury too m.youtube.com/watch?v=wcZNOdXcUSY&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DwcZNOdXcUSY oh, but I miss my Dad.

How could the mum in the 'emotional baby' carry on singing when it was upsetting her baby?

You Could Be Happy - Snow Patrol
Brick - Ben Folds Five
Unforgettable - Nat King Cole my DM's favourite song played at her funeral

Julia by the Beatles because it's about John Lennon's dead mum

Walk On By by Dionne Warwick. Many a post-breakup tear has been shed to this song.

Asleep by The Smiths. Heartbreaking and resonates because of someone I lost to suicide

Oh that was a mistake, I just watched the Mike & the Mechanics song on You Tube .... bawling now!

Mine's slipping through my fingers by ABBA too, my heart lurched when I saw this thread because of it.

It was played at my dear cousins funeral and reduces me to heart renching sobs. Also now because I have a daughter the sentiment behind it is really touching.

Lots for me!

Everybody Hurts (REM) - reminds me of my MC over 20 years ago
Thankyou for the Days (Kirsty McColl)
Hurt - Johnny Cash
Whilst My Guitar Gently Weeps (George Harrison) - such a beautiful song!
Human - Killers - reminds me of losing my Dad in the Summer

Sniffing now! Tissue time!

Oh God, there's loads and loads. I never cry otherwise, but there's some songs that just get me horrifically.

What A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong - reminds me of a funeral where the world had been anything but wonderful for the deceased.
This Woman's Work by Kate Bush
No One But You by Queen - I performed it at a friend's funeral and held it together all the way through the song, then heard the last chord and just broke.
The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
The First Picture Of You by The Lotus Eaters
Nobody's Baby Now by Nick Cave - an ex committed suicide and left a reference to this song in his note to me. Also Into My Arms for the same reason.

There's loads more, but I'm welling up just thinking about it!

Humming Chorus from Madame Burtterfly, so sad, just really moves me.

And first time ever I saw your face, heard this when my DS was a newborn, floods of tears looking at him asleep in my arms.

Elvis - the wonder of you

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. I sung it repeatedly to my little nephew till he fell asleep the day he was away from his abusive parent. Still can't sing it now without my voice breaking.

Oh Mein Papa by Eddie Calvert < the man with the golden trumpet >

Fleetwood Mac - landslide. It just reminds me how far away from my childhood I am and how things will never be the same again of that makes sense.

Coldplay - fix you, it gives me chills.

Taylor Swift - Ronan. I can't listen to it now it just upsets me too much. Beautiful song though

ABBA - The winner takes it all

Wires by Athlete. My ds2 wasn't premature but was very ill as a baby and this song sums up exactly how I felt at the time. And the song about running down corridors, through automatic doors really resonates. I think it is an amazing song, but transports me back to December 2008 which I try to forget about.

Stand By Me by Ben E. King. Was played at my friends funeral when he died at 19. The coffin was bought in to this song and again when I hear it I am taken back to standing in that cold church watching friends carry in his coffin with his sister being dragged behind hysterical. I avoid listening to it.

Vlad-that is my favourite Pogues song.

Mintyy-does the Adagio maybe remind you of the trenches because it was used in Platoon?

I can (and do) cry at anything, and agree with a lot of the ones already mentioned. I am going to go and listen and illegally download all the ones I don't know and add them to my aptly named Weepfile (which is very eclectic and contains such diverse music as Westlife, Abba, Adele, The Scorpions and various national anthems. (I always cry at medal ceremonies) (and doctor Who)

Nimrod from Elgar's Enigma Variations

Fields of Gold Eva Cassidy

Barber's Adagio for strings

You are My Sunshine

Don't Stop Me Now by Queen

Lion Man by Mumford and Sons

'I fell in love with a dead boy' by Antony and the Johnson's - when my wife was pregnant with our first we saw them live - and both streamed with tears throughout this one. In a good way!

'Bubbles' by King Creosote and John Hopkins

Yes - Fields of Gold /You lift me up/Perfect Day and for some bizarre reason mull of kintyre with bagpipes!

if tomorrow never comes

I cried to it just today
