Crying over sad songs on the radio

“Take me home, Country Roads” and the hymn “We plough the fields and scatter” where “all is safely gathered in” and “free from sorrow, free from sin” makes me think of my late son.

I cry at adverts! I cry when I hear Whitney Houston songs because it reminds me of the tragic loss of her young life. Luther Vandross Dance with my father is a tearjerker. Also Beth Neilson Chapman I see your smile

Walk on with hope in your heart always reduces me to tears whoever sings it

I'm not a crier and it's not a favourite song, but John Denver singing Annie's song - every time.

I've always been like this but now older feel less embarassed if 'caught out' in public! It seems to be less embarassing to others to witness if you are older somehow.
I remember sobbing my heart in reception class at The Grandfather Clock song!

I think many of us feel more tearful as we grow older.

Life and loss I suppose.

When you’re young, empathy is often lacking.

Dance with my father, by Luther Vandross - we played it at DH’s funeral.

Time in a Bottle, Jim Croche, (which will be at my funeral) always sets me off, and Elgar’s Nimrod. Joan Baez singing ‘Forever Young’ - really too many to mention these days!

Quite a few set me off. At our ages we've lots of memories.

The Winner Takes It All - Abba, makes me cry every time [after a bad break-up].

Circle of Life - Elton John. Played at my mothers funeral.

Valerie - Steve Winwood. My cousin, named Valerie died 2 years ago.

I Will Always Love You - Whitney Houston. For people I've loved and lost.

Skyline Pigeon - Elton John. Play it my funeral.

One Day Like This - played at a son's wedding.

Barcelona - Freddie Mercury/Montserrat Caballe

Definitely Slipping through my Fingers and Our last Summer both ABBA songs
My mum was a trained singer and used to sing the Pearl Fishers so that sets me off, as does Nessun Dorma!

Yep!! Lots of songs, including two Eva Cassidy’s (not original to her), Fields of Gold & Songbird, ABBA’s Winner Takes It All and Slipping Through My Fingers amongst many others.

But then since getting older and post menopausal I cry at too much! Happy tears and sad tears, at films, books, songs, and so on!

Even used to cry at some adverts and TV programs, utter madness!

Slipping through my fingers by ABBA sets me off every time I hear it.
Also The Pearl Fishers duet just because its so beautiful.

I feel sad when I hear the songs played at my parent’s funerals. Time to say goodbye, You were always on my mind and Nessun Dorma. Also Nearer my God to Thee which they were supposedly playing when the Titanic went down. Oh, and It is well with my Soul - when you think what happened to that poor man’s family.
