Some music makes me cry

Abba`s Slipping through my Fingers is definitely the one that gets me. My daughter is getting married soon and I`d like to play it to her before then - but she`d probably think I`m losing it!

Yes, I wouldn't dare tell my daughters what effect this one has on me either, eddiecat78

My eyes are brimming just reading this thread - seriously!

The old Al Jolson song Mamee always makes me cry - lost me a boyfriend once when I had to leave the room when it was on.

The Humming Chorus from Madame Butterfly played by Andre Rieu and his orchestra and Romance from The Gadfly, which
we both loved and were played at my husbands funeral. Both make me well up.

Yep, school concerts did it to me every time!

Louis Armstrong - All the love in the world
Luther - Dance with my father again

1st was my dad's favourite song, second is mine due to us always dancing together at any given opportunity.

Still miss him so much 18 years later

Calon Lan and Cwn Rhondda Sung at my wedding ,my parents' funerals, my childrens' blessings and my brother's funeral
Bryn Terfel singing Suo Gan
Danny Boy
It's a Wonderful World
and yes, as the mother of daughters Slipping Through Your fingers

And Away in a Manger
Sung to me by a Salvation Army band/choir while I held my 9 month old daughter in my arms, standing in our bay window. I gave them a massive donation...

Enrico Morricone's theme tunes, particularly Cinema Paradiso.

I'll take you home again Kathleen, always brings a tear to my eye, makes me think of my lovely Irish mum who was called Kathleen.

janetta46, I've just listened to The Dixie Chicks' Godspeed, Sweet Dreams for the first time. I think it's the saddest thing I've ever heard.

Remember When sung by Alan Jackson

This is such a lovely thread. I must download some of these (maybe all) to my ipad. Thanks so much, ladies.

I Hope You Dance and Dance With My Father Again. Also a Nativity play which reduces me to tears, but of laughter.

When I was sweet sixteen by the Furies has me in tears , my Gran used to sing it to us . Days by The Kinks, In my life sung by The Beatles .

We love 'something inside so strong' 'fall at your feet' 'time after time' 'If I could turn back time' so many wonderful songs. My wife an I sing in the Rock Choir and we often have tears in our eyes as we sing.

Why oh why did I read this thread, had to leave the room so Hubby couldn't see the tears. so many I love but can't bear to hear. Danny Boy, It started with a Kiss, Bring Him Home, Labelled with Love, Dance with My Father, Nessun Dorma, In my Life, Someone like You, Brown Eyed Girl etc, etc and lastly any school play or choir with Children singing.
We're a load of softies.

I haven't been able to listen to some of these without crying. I'm not sure why I'm doing this to myself, but thanks ladies for all music.

I just have to hear Daddy's Hands and I'm bubbling.

maggiemaybe, played at my request at my DGS's funeral in November. I cannot listen to it now, but hope I will be able to in time.

I'm so sorry for your loss, janetta

The song to the moon from Dvorak's Rusalka, also Ashokan Farewell. There are some lovely suggestions here. I've just listened to Sisters now or meetings over and like that very much, thanks for introducing me to it.

"You're not there" by Lukas Graham - has me in floods as it reminds me how much I miss my parents.

Sorry, late to this thread.

Little Donkey - was my dear Grandma's favourite.

In My Life is even more of a tear jerker by Sean Connery.
