What song brings tears to your eyes?

[moggy]

Not much of a blubberer but there are a few songs that make me cry.
Top of my tear list, for music and lyrics is "purple rain"

Anyone wanna add one?

I have a couple actually, both for the same reason.

Run by Snow Patrol and Your Song by Elton John.

When our twins were born and in intensive care in Portsmouth, I had to drive there and back to Worthing, sometimes twice a day and towards the end, when our dear little Pip was slipping away, these two songs came on the radio as I was coming through Arundel one dark December evening. Every time I hear these songs, I either have to turn the radio off or leave the room.

Karen Carpenters voice in Yesterday Once More........haunting

High hopes by Shed Seven would do but I've stopped myself from listening to it.

Thankfully it's so obscure a track I'm unlikely to encounter it unless I play it.

[h=3]The Hollies - He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother[/h]
Always reminds me of when my little brother was in hospital as a baby, seeing him on a drip on his first birthday in an NHS cot (cage). He's 35 now and absolutely fine btw.

One of the saddest songs ever written, is Puff the Magic Dragon. I'm not over emotional, very rarely cried as an adult, but, if i was going to cry over any song , that would be it, probably the loss of childhood,innocence, i just find it very sad, for some reason.

Very sad and it's the song that's attached to the occasion. I have a similar (although with a happier ending). This song was a favourite of one of my lads who became seriously ill at 13 and this just went over & over in my head as we went from Brighton . to Great Ormond Street by ambulance.

It's not one I'm likely to hear very often but there's a kid's song called Little Red Caboose that gets me. It was my favourite song when I was little and I pestered my dad to sing it to me when I was going to sleep. Occasionally it comes on the radio and it reminds of the time I spent with him when I was young and that he never got the chance to sing it to his grandkids

The onion song - Marvin Gaye

When Ray Davies goes for a moment at the start of this performance that he dedicated to Pete Quaife of the Kinks who died in June 2010:

My 19 year old nephew got cremated to Bright Eyes by Art Garfunkel, 20 years on I struggle to listen to it.


Sorry, you did ask!

All of his songs make me cry too, but probably for a different reason.

Did one of your twins survive?
