Some music makes me cry

Auntieflo,
We had that played as my mums coffin was bought in at her funeral.
Its so beautiful. Made a little tear run down my cheek as soon as I read your words.

Children singing - breaks me up every time.

The Christmas play at school is a tear jerker for me. I start to blub as soon as the piano plays the first keys!

Jerusalem does it for me every time..

I find Karen Carpenters voice stirs me up. She had such a plaintive, poignant tone.

My friend and I took our mums to a panto 2 years ago and the children from a local school choir opened the evening by singing Scarlet Ribbons. Well, both mums were in a soggy puddle of tears but exclaimed "Oh, that was lovely"

School concerts get me every time.

You raise me up by Josh Groban. I was listening to it quietly while I was in hospital once, without the headphones on, a nurse came by and said oh you've got the radio on, I apologised and said sorry I'll turn it off but almost in unison the other ladies in the ward said no, turn it up.

Danny Boy, I Should Have Bought you Flowers by Bruno Mars, Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton, Don't Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith. Also any of my young GCs singing at school.

Anything from La Boheme but especially the love duets.

Children or a male voice choir. Especially if the men are singing in Welsh, even though I'm English.
Lady Smith Black Mambazo.

Cornet Carillon, by Black Dyke Mills Band, it was played at my husband`s funeral, as we entered the crematorium, and he played it in his younger days as a bandsman.

We had Time to Say Goodbye with Sarah Brightman singing at my father in laws funeral. I love her singing.
I just have to hear a military band and I'm gone.

Oh Mein Papa, a trumpet instrumental by Eddie Calvert. Gets me every time!

"Flowers of the Forest" played on bagpipes is my tear jerker. Although I have to say (with apologies to all Scots) that I hate the sound of bagpipes, there is no other instrument that will do for this piece.

There is also a piece called "The Lads in their Hundreds", which is taken from A Shropshire Lad, with music by Arthur Somervell. It has a line in it "to carry back bright to the coiner the mintage of man", which always brings a tear to my eye.

At my sister-in-law's funeral they played 'Catch the Wind' by Donovan. Makes me cry when I hear it.

Beethoven 9, Great Gate of Kiev from Pictures at an Exhibition, Bach Gounod Ave Maria, When I Leave the World Behind, all because of the memories they invoke.

Children, Away in a Manger especially, every Christmas in school!
Leonard Cohen, so much, but since the last concert I went to at O2, Sharon Robinson's beautiful voice singing 'Alexandra Leaving'. It followed me down the corridors as I left before the end to escape the crowds to the tube. Truly sublime.
Bryn Terfel's 'Shenandoah' possibly because GS's school choir sang it too when they were 12.

Adele singing "A Million Years Ago" - with the line "I miss my mother.........." makes me cry every time I hear it.
Young children singing Carols also make me weep.

Highland Cathedral on the bagpipes, if tomorrow never comes by Ronan Keating, Achokan Farewell, these three are guaranteed to make the tears flow!

The Winner Takes It all - Abba, reminds me of a painful breakup

Circle of Life, and Can You Feel The Love Tonight - Elton John and
Time To Say Goodbye - Kathryn Jenkins, all make me remember funerals I have been to.

I immediately get choked up and/or tears fall when I hear any of them.

The duet from The Pearl Fishers, Bring him home from Les' Mis'. Teach your children by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EkaKwXddT_I

The Dixie Chicks, Godspeed, Sweet Dreams, and Dr. Hook with Sylvia's Mother
