Another of her songs I like is where she put lyrics to the theme for the Calendar Girls film. On a similar topic really, but again very moving. Thanks for the link to the James Blunt song. I don't think 'enjoyed' is the right word, but I did/do like it. valmarg |

| I used to love this song in an uplifting way, but after it was a friends Dads funeral song, this one gets me close to tears. Okay, like right now while it's on in the back ground Funerals are hard at all times, but as my friend was only 24 at the time it was especially poignient YouTube - Heather Small, Proud

| Sorry if this has been on before, but the Queen song in "Highlander" - "Who wants to live for ever" - I want that playing at my funeral. What a FAb song - tissues at the ready - every time! Bernie

| When my eldest daughter was a wee thing, I used to drive her about in the car at night when she couldnt sleep. I used to have "Brown Eyed Girl" playing on the cassette and I would sing it to her. She's now a mummy in her own right, but I still have a tear in my eye when I hear that song, dont know why, just makes me go. For my funeral I have already requested "Jerusalem" such a stirring piece of music and that also gives me a huge lump in my throat, after singing that at toooo many friends funerals over the years

| I'm not one for getting emotional with songs, but if I had to choose one it would probably be "Wake me up when september ends" by Green Day. It's not so much the song, but the subject it has become associated with, namely in the tribute videos to fallen service personnel in Iraq and Afganistan, which is something I feel is seriously underappreciated.

| What a great thread! I'd second Don Maclean's 'Vincent' and pretty much anything by Leonard Cohen - maybe 'The Partisan' most of all. 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' has to top the list though. Undistilled genius from beginning to end. James Blunt does make me cry, but for different reasons. I think his name may be rhyming slang...

totally agree with you on that one, getting back on thread though, two in particular, Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush - Don't give up, no reason just gets me and The Cars - Drive, can remember watching the video from live aid, as a seventeen year old it moved me like nothing i had heard/seen before. it made me cry in front of my mates, but then looked at them and they were blubbing like idiots too
