It's good to see Barber's Adagio being so popular. It's my favourite piece of work and I've already said I want it playing me out.
REM's Everybody Hurts is a bit of a weepy for me too. I've always liked the song but a friend dedicated to me on the radio just after my Dad passed away and it's been special to me ever since. Lovely sentiment in that song
Sassy Seren, although you probably know of it , I'll put it down anyway...In a similar vein to Barbers adagio is Tomaso Albinoni's Adagaio for strings in G minor...well worth a listen..

Okay - I'm going to show my inner American redneck here:
"Go Rest High On That Mountain" by Vince Gill. This was played at my grandmother & step-father's funerals. It makes me cry everytime I hear it....
"I know your life on earth was troubled
And only you could know the pain
You weren't afraid to face the devil
You were no stranger to the rain
Go rest high on that mountain
Son your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a-shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son
Oh, how we cried the day you left us
We gathered round your grave to grieve
Wish I could see the angels' faces
When they hear your sweet voice sing
Go rest high on that mountain
Son, your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a-shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son.
Go rest high on that mountain
Son, your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a-shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son."

Beautiful, simply beautiful.
strangely enough dear mama by tupac always does me cos it says so much about what my own mum did for me and my sister when we were young.
another one is by mike and the mechanics i think called "in the living years" ?? you know the one.
the one that cuts me up every time though is abide with me,especially when sung at a big footie match,it brings back so many memories of my grandparents,in one way i love it and in another i hate to hear it cos it sets me off reminicing again,

Warming the Bed
These are the songs that conjure that kind of emotion for me:
Leonard Cohen - 'Queen Victoria' & 'Dress Rehearsal Rag'
Red House Painters - 'I'm Sorry', 'Katy Song' & 'Drop'
Mark Kozelek - 'Duk Koo Kim' (the live version, in particular, is incredibly haunting)
Arvo Pärt - 'Spiegel im Spiegel'
Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - 'I See a Darkness'
The Smiths - 'Asleep'
Joni Mitchell - 'Blue'
Don McLean - 'Vincent'
REM - 'Everybody Hurts'
Sentimental reasons really make the last 2 have quite an impact on me.
I probably would have given another vote for Johnny Cash's 'Hurt', but I think I've over-saturated myself with that track by now.
