Oh I can't listen to Mike & the Mechanics 'The Living Years' without bawling.
An amazing song that just gets me every time.
Yep, will go with your Bette Midler song too, beautiful.
I can step up as a fella and say what songs bring a lump to my throat .
Jerusalem every time
The Gale , but only when actually accompanied by Braveheart the Movie
and anything by Gareth Gates brings tears of laughter to my eyes .
Peace G
my immortal by Evanescence it has so much meaning it makes me cry every time
I attatch vivid memories to music. For evert peice of music I like or don't like I usually have a memeory to go with it. Strange how this can be triggered.
My teary song is tears in heaven by eric clapton.
If this doesnt get me bawling my eyes out then REM' s "everybody hurts" does the job.
James Taylor and Carly Simon's "Devoted To You" gets me tearful every time...
Mike.
'Nothing Compares to You' - Sinead O' Connor - I know it is designed to do it but it gets me every time.
I had another episode last night when we were listening to the 'Made in Heaven' album by Queen, which incidentally I had bought in a second-hand shop on the strength of a recommendation on here about the guitar solo (so thanks whoever said it). I opened the album sleeve and spread it out double on the table and there was Freddie, fist in the air, in silhouette, alone on the right half of the page and the other three, backs to the camera, were on the left facing out over an empty lake. Suddenly the poignancy of the image hit me and I was off. Soppy bastard.
Another potential little classic from Onlyme - thanks .
My tear jerker song is "Castles In The Sky", Ian Van Dahl...................................
Do you ever question your life?
Do you ever wonder why?
Do you ever see in your dreams?
Oh the castles in the sky.
Oh tell me why?
Do we build castles in the sky?
Oh tell me why?
Are the the castles way up high?
Please tell me why? .................................................................
This song came out when my nanna passed away alone in a Casualty Department and she was buried on the fateful day of September 11th ..................................................... In my dreams I hope that my Nanna and all those who died on 9/11 are in a lovely castle in the sky, pain free and happy xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Its got to be.......................Tears in Heaven..........................by Eric Clapton!.................
We lost some one dear to us!......he was only 18!.....................and the family played this at his funereal. :cry:
REMs Everbody Hurts always gets me. It's one of them songs that make me feel so helpless. Doesn't make me cry for myself like other songs. It makes me see other peoples pain, when you see someone close who is hurting so bad and you can't do anything to help them......
When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes
Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on
'Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone
If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on
Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts. You are not alone
Will you lot CUT IT OUT!!!
I know TE, I feel everso sad now :cry:
The song that gets me everytime without fail is "I know it's over" by The Smiths. This song feels so personal to me I just breakdown eveytime.
I know It's Over by The Smiths
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
and as I climb into an empty bed
oh well, enough said
I know it's over still I cling
I don't know where else I can go, mother
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
see, the sea wants to take me
the knife wants to slit me
do you think you can help me?
Sad veiled bride, please be happy
handsome groom, give her room
loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
although she needs you more than she loves you
And I know it's over
still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
it's over, it's over, it's over
I know it's over
and it never really began
but in my heart it was so real
and you even spoke to me and said:
"If you're so funny
then why are you on your own tonight?
and if you're so clever
then why are you on your own tonight?
if you're so very entertaining
then why are you on your own tonight?
if you're so very good looking
why do you sleep alone tonight?
I know because tonight is just like any other night
that's why you're on your own tonight
with your triumphs and your charms
while they are in each other's arms"
It's so easy to laugh
it's so easy to hate
it takes strength to be gentle and kind
it's over, over, over
It's so easy to laugh
it's so easy to hate
it takes guts to be gentle and kind
it's over, over, over
Love is natural and real
but not for you, my love
not tonight my love
love is natural and real
but not for such as you and I, my love
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
