The one song that still moves you

Doesn't anyone else go for Elton John's 'Your Song' ?

'Whisper of Angels' by Amici and 'The More I See You' by Chris Montez. My husband always told me to listen to words of 'The More I See You' when we were courting.

My brother borrowed my 45 record by Sailor, called A Glass of Champagne, because he wanted to learn it with his band. This was nearly 40 years ago. I loaned it to him with very bad grace because I said he’d never give it back and I loved it. A few months later my brother died. A year or so ago I saw A Glass of Champagne on BBC2 TOTP2, I burst into tears. I have since bought a Sailor cd on amazon and I play it all the time in the car. Champagne is such a happy song it reminds me of my beloved little brother and makes me smile.

Jessie, Roberta Flack. Endless Love, Diana Ross and Lionel Ritchie x

Whatever’s Written In Your Heart by Gerry Rafferty, I have a lump in my throat just thinking about it.

Just remembered Joan Baez- Diamonds & Rust that she wrote remembering her relationship with Bob Dylan.
So sad but I note that in a live recording a few years ago she changed the last line to 'I'll take the diamonds 'so maybe she is finally over him.

The Ballard of Lucy Jordan - Marianne Faithfuls smokey voice was singing about my life at the time

Bring Him Home from Les Mis

Sweet Thames flow softly. My first real love

Try a Little Tenderness by Otis Redding
And I still cry when I hear 2 Little Boys maybe because I had 2 sons.
Oh yes & the theme from ET has me in floods to- how sad am I!

Sorry, you only asked for one but I could think of quite a few more !

I love that track ?

So many songs can move me, so I have opened a Spotify app and downloaded them all. My “chill” sounds help me relax at night, my “ dance” ones help me get a move on with the housework etc and I can listen with my ear phones when I go power walking .... perfect !

Set fire to the rain by Adele never fails to upset me. While visiting my sister in hospital in the weeks before she died Adele was all I listened to. Set fire to the rain was the first song playing the last time I left her.

Bridge over troubled water, Without you, and a couple of hyms, oh and Away in a Manger !

For You by John Denver, Slipping through my fingers by Abba, I am a rock by Simon and Garfunkle

Oh I love Eva Cassidy have her cd, brings me to tears every time.
My favourite song is Elvis singing she was always on my mind. Played at my sil funeral, I really broke down when i heard it.

America by Simon and Garfunkel, Famous Blue Raincoat by Leonard Cohen and (my funeral choice) In My Life by the Beatles

When You Are Old by Gretchen Peters ........
How You Loved by Beth Neilson Chapman .....
Similar themes about what’s important in life and getting older.

What a lovely thread, so many songs bring a tear to my eye but I have to agree Eva Cassidy , Songbird, which we played at my husbands funeral last year has just had me in tears again.
Rosie I had not heard that Johnny Cash song before, loved it very poignant.

Arty, they've made me put a CD on.

Yes I like the Alan Jackson song too in fact any song that reflects life especially relating to children growing up i.e. Slipping through my fingers by Abba or Sunrise Sunset from Fiddler on the roof.

All these beautiful songs are making me quite sad!

Tanith, I agree with you about Forever Autumn.

Also Sitting in the Park by Georgie Fame.
That's all we could afford to do after we first met.

Remember When - Alan Jackson.
Wondered if we should have it played at our upcoming Golden Wedding party, but I would be in bits at the first chord!
