Songs that make you cry....

[HugeHons]

Living Years by Mike and the Mechanics. Miss my old man

Saw M and The Mechanics in Brum a couple of years ago. Superb, and that song is probably one of the most emotional songs ever made. Brilliant and sad.

Seventeen going under - Sam Fender. Think it sums up how lots of young people struggle and often through no fault of their own. As a parent who adopted, it makes me think that could have been my son.

Bring him home from Les Miserables always gets me. Can you feel the love tonight from Lion King was played at my brother's funeral when I was younger and I still well up whenever I hear it.

My lad had a series of operations when he was younger to remove growths from within his ear. The first one he went in for the missus stayed that first night and I drove home and then that came on the radio. Should have pulled over as it got me in a bit of a mess.

Nimrod - Edward Elgar. Not just for the link to Remembrance but just a wonderful tune that builds to and almost overwhelms as it reaches its crescendo.

Paul Carrack and Paul Young RIP have been fantastic singers with them. As you say great live

Songs in a similar vein that I find incredibly powerful are both arrangements by Ralph Vaughan Williams -
Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis, and Fantasia on Greensleeves. Both massively uplifting and inspiring. 

On a very personal level I’d have to say Edelweiss, my mom’s favourite song from The Sound Of Music. When it was played at her funeral it just wiped everybody out.

Mellow Yellow by Donovan with the words changed to 

"I'm just mad about Rodney" 

A deep phycological scar left from the 1967 League Cup Final.  

I have tried counselling without success.

Gabriel’s Oboe by Morricone.
Beautiful piece of music.

[Astle3]

Wires by Athlete popped up on my playlist over the weekend and, as usual, bought a tear to my eye as it's written about the birth of the lead singer's premature baby.

I've got loads though to be fair as I'm a bit of a blubber.

Anybody got any....?
