Song guaranteed to bring tears

[muckdiva]

Played another version on the radio tonight but I think this is the best.

YouTube - Stardust | Nat King Cole

Absolutely brilliant!

[Shortie]

I was fighting back the blub in the car to this song yesterday

[Seahorse]

I discovered this one recently and shed a tear or two...

YouTube - Leiheidi "My youngest son came home" by Eric Bogle

[NOG]

Well I am going to have to go with the Green Fields of France but the Ian Stuart Version.
Then "theres a long train a leading to the land of my dreams" a WW1 song.

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

Simon & Garfunkel "Feelin' Groovy", played at Mum's funeral last year. Can't listen to it at all now, complete breakdown. YouTube - Simon and Garfunkel - (Feelin' Groovy) - 33 1/3 rpm
Neil Diamond "Song Sung Blue" ("...you can't sing it with a cry in your voice..." You can, you know) YouTube - Neil Diamond - Song Song Blue

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.

[Steve(spt)]

The song that gets me is North Country by Roy Harper , brings back memories of a young lady! - Many years ago, hmmm :-)

Roy Harper did a gig at the Royal Albert Hall last september.

[Paul Wagland]

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...

[bubblewrap]

Leonard Cohen.?
YouTube - Sisters of Mercy - Leonard Cohen

James Blunt does make me cry, but for different reasons. I think his name may be rhyming slang...

roflmao, 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

[JennieAtkinson]

I can blub at the drop of a hat and anything can get me, but two which spring to mind:

Flower of Scotland - at a rugby match (I'm sniffing already!)

and

Elgars Nimrod (my dad's favourite piece of music)

[marialittlebzz]

The song Hallelujah, can't remember who sings.

there is also the version from Jeff Buckley which is just making your spine shriveling!
Myself, among other songs, "Respire" from a french band called "Mickey 3D" just make me chocking with tears everytime... it is about the way we destroy the planet... is any of you living in France know which one I 'm talking about?

[HeyWayne]

This song doesn't bring tears to my eyes per se, but it did on one particular occasion - our wedding.

YouTube - stereophonics...the first time i ever saw your face

It was played as LadyWayne walked in to the room.
