Songs that make you teary

Celine Dion- ‘Because You Loved Me’ . Sums up what my beautiful mother did for me. Also ‘When I Grow Too Old To Dream’ . I had part of this song inscribed on her gravestone.

Really enjoying this thread and like others I am definitely more emotional now than when I was younger
Disturbed version of Sound of Silence which a few have mentioned.
Dreams by the Cranberries.
Con te partiro by Andrea Bocelli
Somebody who Loves You by Joan Armatrading.
You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away by The Beatles
Have I Told You Lately by Van Morrison
O Holy Night - it was sung beautifully at both my parents’ funerals.

Stranger on the Shore by Acker Bilk because my Mum loved it

Another one for Bright Eyes and Neilson

Everything I Own by Bread

Against all Odds - Phil Collins

Sisters, Now Our Meeting Is Over by Libana. It's very simple and beautiful. We played it at my mum's funeral, which is why I can't hear it without crying, and I want it played at mine.

Danny Boy by Paul Robson. When my mum, my sister and I first heard it, we were all in tears.

Who Knows Where The Time Goes. It's very good when sung by Sandy Denny, who wrote it, but I prefer the version by Judy Collins. Such a lovely voice and such a melancholy song.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, ‘Into my Arms’ in floods every time I listen to it.

Prayer in the Twilight (Haydock Male Voice English Choir) - my Dad was a member.
Mary did you know
The Old Rugged Cross
Dance with my Father (Luther Van Dross)

“Come what may” Vicki Leandros .. lovely words breaks me every time ., kind of our song hubby is going thro some stuff 💖

You will never walk alone always makes me feel very emotional

I love all sorts of music and many can make me cry. This is an oldie, smoke gets in your eyes was our song and I love Puccinis madam butterfly it too makes me cry

Bridge over Troubled Water - Simon & Garfunkel
Without You - Nilsson

(This is a long thread, so I'll just jot mine down and go back and read the rest later.)

Without you is. I think, the most beautiful love song. Nothing Compares To You sung by Sinead O'Connor moves me too.

Having lived through the Fall of the Berlin Wall, one song that is guarantee to make me well up is Billy Joel's "Leningrad". Even sitting here, typing this, 35 years later, I am crying remembering the scenes at he Embassy in Budapest and the first arrivals from the East. I live quite far in the West of Germany, near the French border, but re-unification was a topic still on the tongues of my work mates in the late 70s. By the end of the 80s it was long forgotten, and then it happened! Unfortunately it wasn't as smooth as that, and still today there are differences. But that's another story.

I'm off now to have a pedicure - the girl who does it is Russian!

Quite a few of those mentioned above and also "Rolling Home" sung by Fishermans Friends and "Leaving on a Jet Plane" ... John Denver!

He ain't heavy by the Hollies.

Ode to Joy; Boots of Spanish Leather; Annie's Song. All make me sad and emotional for various reasons.

Two more:

Every Day Hurts by Sad Cafe

Brothers in Arms by Dire Straights

I've just remembered one that is also guaranteed to have me in tears: "Prendre un enfant par la main" by Yves Duteil, and another French one "Connemara" I think that is by Michel Sardou.

My husband died a few years ago after 53 years of being together and this song always brings tears to my eyes.

If I had my life to live over.

Israel Kamakawiwoʻole singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Lynyrd Skynyrd Freebird, which we had at my son's funeral

and lots of the other songs mentioned in this thread!

That came out just as my father died. Even now 27 years later, it still gets me!

The Living Years Mike and the Mechanics!

If you're starting on the French stuff, "Ne me quitte pas" Jacques Brel has nostalgic tearful meaning for me.

Pandapatch I chose Israel Ks medley Wonderful world and over the rainbow for my mums funeral. I don’t hear it often but if I do it still brings tears.

"Perhaps Love" John Denver & Placido Domingo. Played at my husband's funeral last month. 😢

I find your love....Beth Nielson Chapman from the Calendar Girls film always chokes me up

Twopence I had forgotten that one! I adored John Denver, went to his concerts and had all his albums.

Andrea Bocelli singing Con Te Partiro gets me every time.
