Crying over sad songs on the radio

P J Proby is still alive I’ve just Googled him.
He’s 87.
I thought he was gorgeous (when I was about 12) 😁
Texas born, he lives in the UK now apparently.

During a music lesson at secondary school, the teacher played a record called Deck of Cards. I sat and listened to the words and to my embarrassment was a blubbering mess by the end.

Time to Say Goodbye is too much to bear right now.

Rarely hear this one on the radio but I always think of my own Dad talking about his father who he always referred to fondly as ‘the old man’.

There's a Sinaed O'Connor song, "My Darling Child" where she just croons to her baby, calling him Me little lamby, my little puppy, me little ninja.

She's usually pretty serious in her songs, so it makes it all the sweeter , with her beautiful lilting voice.

Its very sad, considering the end of her life, now.

The First Time Ever I saw your Face, plus Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol, get me every time. I often have to leave the room.

Oh yes, to both of those.

In My Life, by The Beatles, resonates with me...especially because we are getting older.

Missing You by Don Williams. Played at DH funeral.
I just called to say I love you by
Stevie Wonder. I want it played at my funeral.

I’m just in the middle of drawing up my funeral plans - yes, I’d like that song too, by Stevie Wonder

Nick Cave, Into my Arms
In my life, Beatles
Spartacus ballet music.
Ich bin der Welt, Mahler sung by Janet Baker
So many, I could go on and on.

Do not sing to me my Beauty, Rachmaninov
La Vergine degli Angeli, Leontyne Price from Force of Destiny, Verdi. Not a song, but would like it for my funeral.

Sweet Thames flow softly.
Theres a version by Christy Moore (?) and Sinead O'Connor, which is lovely.
One particular line about his love leaving, and taking his sun, moon and stars with her.
