Eloethan I'm so sorry I misspelt your name!

Etheltbags, I'm a 'Hokey Cokey' fan as well! And 'Roll Out the Barrel!'

The lords my shepherd, I have never been able to get through a funeral service yet without the tears, and I know today will be another occasion as we lay my aunt to rest.

Hot Chocolate's 'It started with a kiss'. And at 1503 on 31/12/1979, oh yes, it certainly did!!!

Absolutely loads including several already mentioned, I'll add
I'd Rather go Blind - Chicken Shack
Parisienne Walkways - Gary Moore/Thin Lizzy
Amoureuse - Kiki Dee
First Cut is the Deepest - Rod Stewart
As Tears Go By - Marianne Faithful
When I Was Your Man - Bruno Mars

Oh yes chrissie13, Parisienne Walkways, is so beautiful,

How could it be just one song? So many mentioned here will have me sniffling but I'd also include Rod Stewart's You're in my Heart, Van Morrison's Have I Told You Lately that I Love You? and Kiri Te Kanewa Now is the Hour (Maori Farewell) which my lovely Dad used to sing around the house. We had it played at his funeral and it reduces me to a blubbing jelly every time.

I like all types of music if played well but above all I love the beautiful music of Mozart.

Careless Whisper, George Michael was just released when my 2 week old son was admitted to Special Care. Very emotional time. Strapping 6 footer now and father of two.

Paddyann- I can't even go to Madam Butterfly anymore! From the first chord I start to cry and by the end I'm sobbing and making a noise and my face is swollen.... Fortunately I can go to Tosca and La Bohme but I do not like Turandot!
I would have to say in this vein that Tosca singing "Vissi d'arte" is very moving. Also Verdi, the end of Rigolletto, final quartet, beginning "Bella figlia del'amore" is awfully painful as Gilda's sobs rise and fall through the lascivious and totally carnal aims of the Count's love song.

"I dreamed a dream in days gone by" from Les Miserable

Am really surprised to find that The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face is so well- loved.
I first heard it when newly- married and still in love! It featured in the Eastwood film Play Misty for Me.
We saw it with a couple who were close friends ands also newly married.
Time passed, we lost touch apart from Christmas cards. We divorced, they divorced. Many years later she and my ex met up in the pub/restaurant run by my daughter and near her home.
They've been married now for ten years. She healed rifts and tensions and we're good friends even sharing our grandchildren.
Romantic or what???

Ahh, that's lovely! I've had to avoid this thread because it made me so emotional, but that's a great story.

The Greatest Love Of All by Whitney Houston

So many pieces of music which I love have been mentioned already including Famous Blue Raincoat and others by Leonard Cohen, also nice to see Grace get a mention.

Many of Frank Sinatra’s songs hold memories for me but especially Autumn Leaves.

Someone else is a fan of Luke Kelly and this one is poignant, a much loved uncle always comes to mind when I hear it.
