The one song that still moves you

Titanic theme tune

The way we were - good old Barbra S

Hotel california by the Eagles

So many of these ring the same bells with me.
Often the tune rather than the words (eg Hotel California.)

Flower of Scotland, sung en masse at Murrayfield!!

The River...by Garth Brooke’s

Cassandra - 'Your Song' is our song but I thought it was a bit cliched to put on here.

So many recently. Even the US national anthem brought tears to my eyes recently and I'm not even American.

Reach Out and I'll Be There - Four Tops

Shirley Bassey .Never Never Never .and The Carpenters
Close to You. These have me in floods and bring back such wonderful memories of the man who was the love of my life.

Annie's Song

Bette Midler singing The Rose,

Ruby Tuesday

This Guy's in Love With You. My husband dedicated this to me when we got engaged, and it was always 'our song'. Sadly he left me a few years ago, so this song now hurts when I hear it.

When a Child is Born by Jonny Mathis out when my eldest son was born it has always brought back memories of that special time.

I love loads of songs but the one I can’t get enough of just now is Ed Sheehan singing “Perfect” with Andre Bocelli,when Andre sings it would make your toes curl and send a shiver down your back.

In the Ghetto by Elvia Presley - I always cry at the end because it’s a rondo and the whole culver is going to repeat again. Then I think how old that song is and realise it’s still happening today. I find that very depressing.

On the other hand, Someone Like You, by Adèle makes me cry for entirely personal reasons!

Sorry! Should have proof read Elvis of course (why on earth does predictive text change that to Elvia??
Culver - where did that come from? I meant cycle!

Sailing by Christopher Cross so many people confuse it with sailing by Rod Stewart. They are nothing alike.
Also most of Eva Cassidy,s songs. When you start thinking about it there are so many. Some lovely ones here.

It's the protest songs that get me every time, as I feel I should have done more about the things they sing about:
The Times they are a changing — Bob Dylan
Big Yellow Taxi — Joni Mitchell (Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till its gone?)
Where have all the flowers gone?
and of course, The Byrds, Turn, Turn, Turn (to everything there is a season)

The Last Post - my eyes are watering now just thinking of it!

Difficult to choose one as I'm a bit of a softy and cry easily( every episode of call the midwife as an example), but these three are the guaranteed one's.
Jennifer Rush the power of love. I gave this record to my husband when he left me with four kiddies to live with a woman nearly 20 years his junior.
Luther Vandross dance with my father again, I still remember as a little girl, standing on the tops of his feet dancing at weddings and parties.
Jerry and the pacemakers you'll never walk alone, I bought the single for my dad when he started cancer treatment. He sadly died 6 months later.
I can't stop the tears every time I hear these.

This version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
