Songs that make you teary

Annie.

My husband bought record ’She’ in 1976, he was going on a course in Durham, shortly after his return he died, never had chance to question- ‘Beauty or the Beast, Famine or the Feast ‘ as for turning each day into a heaven or a hell !

Lacrimosa - Mozart
Fast Car - Tracy Chapman

Wow!!
I only listened to the first minute and I'm off again!

What a treasure to find. Thank you.

Beyond the pale by a group called Slammer and Don't you forget about me by Simple Minds. Both songs my dh loved.

This puts a lump in my throat every time!

How could I forget, "She" sung by Elvis Costello.

Just beautiful.

Something's got a hold of my heart by Gene Pitney and Marc Almond.
Just because they sing beautifully together.

Amazing Grace by Elvis and Fields Of Gold by Eva Cassidy both played at my best friend Jean’s funeral

Time in a Bottle - Jim Croce
Since I met you Baby - Ivory Joe Hunter
Plaisir d’amour - Joan Baez

I'd never heard it before today.

There are so many beautiful hymns, I often get emotional.

Yes Kate1949, Never hear this without thinking of my Father.

Fifty Percent
Dorothy Loudon

You raise me up by Josh Groban. Has particular meaning for me relating to by late DD. I just crumble if I hear the intoduction never mind the song. I'm off just writing this.

The final trio from The Rosencavalier
I would like to hear this as I’m passing into
the next realm!! I’ll die in a rapturous state.

Knocking on heavens door - Bob Dylan
Search for the Hero - M People
Both for very personal reasons 😔

Dance with my Father again
And
My way

Home Lads Home, sung by the late Paul Sartin, I can't even manage the chorus for weeping.

"Home Lads Home" was originally a poem written by Cicely Fox Smith during the First. World War and first published in 1916, set to music by Sarah Morgan.

'Davy Cross' written by Paul Davenport, which I sing, but its hard not to cry at the same time!

Secret Love by Kathy Kirby...I used to dance with my Dad to that, he loved it.

You'll Never Walk Alone....the Kop in full voice, every single time.

The Air that I Breathe : Somewhere only we know

Ah, that's lovely.
He has the most sublime voice, anyway. Blub blub!!

For me so many of the above, 'I will always love you' was sung at my husband's memorial service, but my special one is 'Too Young' by Nat King Cole. I was 14 when I first met my husband-to-be and married at 18. Everyone told us we were too young, but we had over 50 years together before he died.

Welsh National Anthem always finishes me off, closely followed by The first time ever I saw your face. Lots more too.
