Yes, The first time ever I saw your face, and Chasing cars.
Also The Wichita linesman, which I've just seen mentioned elsewhere.
Annie's song, so, so many, and a lot of them I'm not even sure why. They make my eyes fill just thinking about them.
Somethings gotta hold of my heart (Gene Pitney and Marc Almond)
She by Elvis Costello.
My immortal by Evanecense. (Spelled wrong!)

I agree with you, Casdon, on Slipping through my fingers.

I was going respond but 3 years on I find so much music of all kinds so poignant and it breaks my heart all over again. More than any other memories.

Sacrifice by Elton John, gets me but not sure why
All my life's a circle
I just called to say Iove you

‘The First time ever I saw your face,’ and ‘Chasing Cars.’ They get me ever time. No idea why

Jeff Buckley ‘Hallelujah’ is heartbreaking.

"I see your face" Beth Neilson Chapman always makes me cry and smile at the same time.

I think all mothers of daughters must feel that about ABBA’s Slipping Through My Fingers, it hits the nail right on the head.

I’m not talking about music we want playing at our funeral, or similar, just the melodies that make you stop and think.

Triggered by just listening to Classic FM eating my breakfast, and ‘The Last Rose Of Summer’ came on.

Such a touching piece.
