Hi stansgran it happens to me too whether I am going through a difficult time or not, for no apparent reason. Sometimes it's just the person's "achingly beautiful" voice that sets me off. I wrote on here awhile ago about how I "had a little greet" in the middle of the street once because a young busker sang 'You raise me up".
I'm going through a rough patch at the moment and the bu****s on the radio have just played Ground control to Major Tom and Luther Van Dross Dance with my father And I'm a wreck. Why do they do this? They're only pop songs from another life time. Any one else have this problem?
