I defy you not to cry!

K C and the Sunshine Band ‘Give it Up’.
DH played this to me many times before we actually moved in together and sadly he died a few months ago and if this comes on the radio I dissolve into sobs as it takes me right back to those days when we were falling in love. I had it played at his funeral.

I am so sorry I used to follow you on the childminding boards. My love and hugs to you and a beautiful song xxx

When a Child is Born, by Johnnie Mathis.
and
Bright Eyes, by Art Garfunkel. Our beloved cat Patch had just died, we were on the way to the vet`s to have her cremated, and it was playing on the car radio.

That was in 1980

I did utterly haunting. Never heard of her before how beautiful

I hope this thread doesn’t upset too much and sorry if it does but music is so evocative isn’t it. And healing

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's version of Over the Rainbow. If you haven't heard it try to google it. A Hawaiian version with ukulele - it's beautiful.

Also Sade's By Your Side. Even though this was meant as a lover's song, I hear it as a mother's song. When my son was going through a rough patch I heard this and fell apart.

everyone. He had recorded it on a CD and I sit and play it sometimes when I want to reminisce, it’s very healing for me to have a good cry now and then.

She. the last record my husband bought me before he was killed.

Myfanwy. My Grampa sang it to me, I sang it to my daughters and my grandchildren as a lullaby.

Evergreen. Both my daughters chose it as their first dance at their weddings

Memories because

I sing this ( badly) to my wee granddaughter.

Hey Jude for me for many reasons.

Ellie Goulding singing How Long Will I Love You?

I dedicate this to my family when I hear it. ?

The ballad "A Love So Beautiful" by Roy Orbison I find very moving and wonderfull.

I did see Roy Orbison in concert back in 1963 when he came to Britain, and he was absolutely terrific live on stage. The above ballad he had not written then, but whenever I hear it now I think of that concert.

A great song with great memories for me.

Eve Cassidy so poignant on every level.
