Songs that make you WEEP

[The Large One]

Right, chaps and chapesses - time to check in at the door any sense of cool and stiff-upper lippedness any of you may possess, and offer up a confessional.

Which songs when you get to hear them bring a tear to your eye? Which songs turn stop you mid-rant (not that I ever get into that state of mind, of course) and enhance your mellowness beyond a state you ever thought you could achieve? Which songs stop you in your tracks and make you want to drop to your knees and weep?

I’ll start, with this little gem - gets me every time ...

[Jimmy Grimble]

This one doesnt so much make me weep, just reminisce.

[Gritt23]

I know it makes me officially, soft as shite, but Two Little Boys, by Rolf Harris fills me up every time.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

I had to turn your weepy off TLO - I found it too upsetting!

Apart from the above, a small handful of mine mine would be:-

Annie's Song - John Denver

Loving You - Minnie Ripperton

It Was A Very Good Year - Frank Sinatra

We're all just big softies at heart, aint we?!

It is all about the singers child stuck in the Special Care baby unit and exactly describes what we went through when my daughter was born and had to spend time in the hospital.

[The Large One]

I know it makes me officially, soft as shite, but Two Little Boys, by Rolf Harris fills me up every time.

Ah, Margaret Thatcher's favourite song.

 

[Trufflehound]

Renata Tebaldi - still the greatest Mimi ever.



(And with some of the largest "tiny" frozen hands...)

 

[DIFFBROOK]

I know it makes me officially, soft as shite, but Two Little Boys, by Rolf Harris fills me up every time.

Thats mine as well. I'm 42 and I remember listening to it as a very little boy. The bit about his dying friend really gets me

 

[Icy Gull]

Jackson Browne. This song does it for me evertime I hear it

[yt]IU1rZa8Ur_Q[/yt]

 

[Garage_Doors]

Seasons in the sun.. Terry Jacks

 

[fatfingers]

REM - Everybody hurts

Was the song played at my twin sons Owen & Dylan's funeral, R.I.P.

Still cant listen to it without blubbing

 

[Spider]

[yt]LraZEoRnkPc[/yt]

Not a great song, but it's one of those songs that reminds me of a happy time and makes me bawl!

Not again, TLO. You keep posting questions designed to expose people's ages!

OK...

Walk Away - Matt Monro

 

[The Large One]

Well, get down and get with the kids then, man...

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square (not the Vera Lynn version) - I guess it's poignant because it was written in 1940 and a very great many people will have fallen in love to this but never seen each other again.

I promise - give it a try:

Great call on the Athlete song.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

And a slightly cheesy one that shouldn't, but it does. Was released a few months after my son was born, so maybe there's a bit of a personal link for me there. Any parent's out there will get it:

Marc Cohn - The Things We Handed Down

Great song and a great arrangement of it. Plenty of 'weepy' songs from that era, for obvious reasons.

 

[fatbadger]

You Are My Sunshine, when sung properly - by Low, for instance.

That is a mighty fine call Mr. Mendoza
