Mollie's Song - Beverly Craven. This always brings a lump to my throat - I can still remember, after 40 odd years, feeling that way with my babies.

Time after Time Cyndi Lauper -very personal meaning- heartstopping!

Same as Poshgran ...’The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’
What a love song!
One of those rare songs that makes you stop whatever you are doing and just listen.

Leningrad by Billy Joel. Having lived through the fall of the Iron Curtain and the world-changing speech by Genscher in Budapest, I feel hat that song epitomises the time, although we still have a long way to go. I'm even welling up writing this.

I agree with you about Eva Cassidy, giulia. Over The Rainbow too.
Recently Nancy With The Laughing Face - reminds me of our dear collie who died a few weeks ago. (I substituted her name). She was always smiling. sad

The duet from The Pearl Fishers always brings tears to my eyes no matter how often I hear it.

Autumn leaves by Nat King Cole.

Two little boys. The love and loyalty always moves me.

For me, the one song that can always bring a lump to my throat is Eva Cassidy singing SONGBIRD. The first time I heard it, I was entering somebody's dining room with a group of people just behind me. This song was playing softly in the background and I literally stopped in my tracks and gasped. (Of course, everyone else bumped into me from behind!) What song does the same for you?
