The one song that still moves you

So nice to read about all these songs, and I want to add a couple more now!?
Fields Of Gold by Sting
Without You by Nilsson
Is That All There Is by Peggy Lee ( thank you 1974Cookie.)

Everybody hurts

just the way you are - Billy Joel (wedding song)
Against all odds - Phil collins

Killing me softly-Roberta flack
So strong -Labi Siffre

I recently was amazed and delighted to meet a very low key Peggy Seeger at a local lobbying event - she's the woman Ewan McColl wrote 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face' for.

Roberts Flack for me as well, also Kathleen Ferrier singing "what is life without you" wonderful.

Passing Strangers - Billy Eckstine and Sarah Vaughan
Strangers in the Night - Frank and Nancy Sinatra
Oops have I got a thing about strangers
Also The Living Years by Mike and the Mechanics
Lots more really.

There are 2 songs that always stop me in my tracks:
Peggy Lee, 'Is that all there is'?
The other one is:
Dusty Springfield, 'Going back'.
I just cannot choose between them.

Leonard Cohen's Hey, that's no way to say goodbye. Or Suzanne. Or Dance me to the end of love...

'Leaving on a jet plane' is high in the lump in throat category for me

For me, it's the Fields of Athenry by the Dubliners as it was my dad's favourite and he taught all the grandchildren to sing it. My daughter is going to have the First Time Ever I Saw your Face as her wedding entrance music so that will probably make me cry!

When you walk through a storm from Carousel. My mantra for life.

Boz Scaggs! Gr.

rockgran I love "I wasn't expecting that*. It features in the film "Up".

gillybob I love Box Scaggs, had forgotten about them. They'll be on my Spotify list now. Love Sierra.

Oh and Grant My Last Request, bu Paolo Nutini

Modern - "I wasn't expecting that" by Jamie Lawson - so sad.

Classical - Caro Nome from Rigoletto - the last bit is like liquid silver.

Dan Hill - told you!!

I Will Always Love You - I like the Whitney Houston version but really love the Dolly Parton version.

I must stop reading this thread as I keep being reminded of more. Without You is a huge favourite too And 'Sometimes When We Touch' by a singer whose name will come back to me as soon as I press post!!

Like others, it's hard to choose 'the one song' because there are so many. Here are a few that can move me to tears

Family Portrait - Pink
Angel - Sarah McLachlan
In Those Days - Beverly Craven
There's a Light - Beth Nielsen Chapman

Old Shep by Elvis ?

Judy Collins, Charleygirl

For me it’s the Hallelujah Chorus, Lacrymosa from Mozart’s Requiem, and the last movement of Beethoven 9, mainly because of memories of happy times singing them.

Then songs sung by my parents, like The Holy City, O Mio Babbino Caro, & When I Leave the World Behind.

I also sang Fairytale of New York every year with a dear friend who died two years ago, and now can’t even listen to it, far less sing it!

I think it was Judy Collins Charleygirl.

Everybody Hurts by REM and From A Distance by Nanci Griffith.

The first song helped me in dark times and touches me like no other. The video is powerful too.

For me it's Jerusalem and Forever Autumn.

Can anybody remember who sang Amazing Grace?
