Song that makes you laugh, song that makes you cry

[Blandmum]

Laugh, for pure joy

Once made this mistake of playing this is the car and had to pull over I was sobbing so hard!

Please add yours!

this is a song that never fails to touch me

Flying without Wings by Westlife- only because my sister annoyed everyone by playing it non-stop. It was played at her funeral and I just cry now whenever i hear the damn thing.

Mary Black or Frances Black sings that one too. I think it is sadder from a woman!! (For me because I am a woman). I can really hear the wretchedness better in her voice!

This is so silly but when I was a child that Rolf Harris song "Two little boys" used to make me cry.

Stripteasle, That's a sad story, but it made me smile!

oh god yes -two little boys- I cried at that when i was little too!
Thanks, I miss her.

MB peter gabriel is played rather a lot in the car as it is Abbey and my favorite song.
too many songs make me cry at the moment but then i am a bit soppy

Eva Cassidy - Fields Of Gold this one makes me cry and it's even "worse" now, because they used this music in a transplant- you tube video....

this used to play it when dh was in iraq. still cant listen to it without tears welling up.

this always makes me feel happy

breaks my heart

Faure Requiem Sanctus
Albinoni Adagio two cry-y ones

and thismakes me feel happy and tearful all at the same time

Stripteasle, your posts have just made me cry.

Fields of gold was on the cancer ad and that always sets me off.

is that where the people appear in the mirror ? yes, that is very tear inducing with the music

Yes, that's the ad.

sad

Both happy and sad

This is my eldest DS song. We went through some tough years when he was around 10 yrs old. He was also bullied at school because one of the kids used to call me awful names and he would stick up for me. This song became 'our song.' We sing it together on karaoke and everything. It now makes me really happy cause DS is 26, has a wonderful partner and they are having their first baby early June. We have reached the 'light at the end of the tunnel.'

rem everybody hurts

i cannot bear oasis 'stars' it was played for a boy who was tragically killed last year t ds1 and 2s secondary -i sob to hear it thinking of the loss his mum suffers and the unfairness.

laugh - the cancan bit from Die Fledermaus where they all go 'how sad it is, how sad it is' while revving up for a cancan. Don't know it well enough to find it on youtube.

Cry: Under the bridge by the chili peppers. Was played at my bil funeral, breaks my heart every time i hear it.

Laugh: I don't feel like dancing by the Scissor sisters.
