Sad Songs

Are there any songs that ALWAYS make you well up, no matter how often you listen to them? I've got three.
Emma by Hot Chocolate
Cat's On The Cradle by Harry Chapin
Alone Again (naturally) by Gilbert O'Sullivan.

[wolf63]

No, but I cried at a film once. The Incredible Journey in about 1987.

I am emotionally numbed by pharmaceuticals, it is a shame as there is nothing nicer than a "guid greet"

[jakep]

Wonderful Life - Black
I Will Always Love You - Whitney Houston

[-Talbot-]

Not really a cryer but...Everybody Hurts 'REM' pulls at the old heartstrings.

[tiggerblue10]

Bridge over troubled water
Bright eyes
Seasons in the sun
The drugs don't work
Stan (Eminem)

[chaptazbru2]

Brown eyed girl (always reminds me of my beloved dog Tara).
Holding back the years (reminds me of another lost dog).
Dance with my Father Again.

[andy-hughes]

jakep - I strongly recommend that you check out Linda Ronstadt's version of this classic song - all the pain, none of the lip-wobbling hystrionics!

[jakep]

I hear you Andy but this was 'our song' with my first husband with whom I remained great friends. He died six years ago. That's why I always cry when I hear it.

[andy-hughes]

I understand jakep - association is everything with memorable music.

Sorry for your loss.

[EDDIE51]

Seasons in the Sun.

Mamyalynne, what a beautiful voice Karen Carpenter had. I bawled my eyes out at the biopic, The KC Story. Such a sad story.
Wolf63, what a wonderful tale The Incredible Journey is. I read the book and cried like a baby.

[thesecondlaw]

Wow, I was kidding myself when I said I had only three. Some real tear-jerkers amongst your replies.

Somewhere over the Rainbow - Eva Cassidy
Dance me to the end of Love -Leonard Cohen
Nothings gonna stop us now- Starship
