Songs That Make You Cry...

[Smowball]

I’ve got thousands! But just heard/ well actually watched the video of SHES LIKE THE WIND from DIRTY DANCING...... gets me every time!! What’s yours? X

[Patsy33]

Hurt by Johnny Cash

[emmie]

it doesn't make me cry as such but Songbird by Eva Cassidy reminds me of my mum, which makes me feel a bit sad.

[BAKERS DOZEN]

When our daughter's was killed his two brothers chose Forever Autumn by The Moody Blues to be played in the church. Can't listen to it now without filling up.

[Buenchico]

I was going to say that no songs make me cry, 'cos I'm just not that soppy, but then I remembered the one I always have to turn off on the radio . . .

[david small]

Me too Chris.

[angie55]

Honey by Bobby Goldsboro.

[Smowball]

Oh god bakers dozen, am so so sorry xxxxx

[Smowball]

Love all your answers so far - all amazing songs xx

[Theland]

I wonder who they are
The men who really run this land
And I wonder why they run it
With such a thoughtless hand
Tell me what are their names
And on what street do they live?
I'd like to ride right over
This afternoon and give
Them a piece of my mind
About peace for mankind
Peace is not
An awful lot
To ask

No songs make me want to cry but some songs make me yearn. I only have eyes for you by Art Garfunkel, some Chi lites songs, some early Bryan Ferry and one or two Elton ones. Some songs are just plain depressing (Without You by Nilsson) but wouldn't make me cry.

BD, Forever Autumn is a wonderful song. Justin Hayward's voice is mesmeric.

This from Tori Amos destroyed me when I first heard it.

That one is a killer, Chris... xx

[weecalf]

The living years . Gets I

[webbo3]

Seasons in the sun. Terry Jacks

[Arksided]

(these are the) Days of our lives - Queen (Taylor), made me well up a little after Freddie Mercury passing 91' ... but like most songs depends on your feelings/mood at the time etc. A lot do bring back fond and sad memories but happy memories of good times usually takes over.

[JimF]

I don't think any song makes me cry, but there are loads that remind me of awful times that I don't like to remember or of people who are no longer living, which makes me sad. In no particular order:

Genesis - Snowbound
Joy Division - Decades
Jethro Tull - We Used to Know
Edith Piaf - Je Sais Comment
B.A. Robertson - Maggie

[emmie]

that is one i do get tearful over
Mike and the mechanics Living Years...

[pixie374]

Me too, emmie... my grandad died at that time it was played a lot and it always reminds me of him x

[maggiebee]

Two relatively modern ones that really get to me:
The Dance - Garth Brookes
Living Years - Mike and the Mechanics

Oldies that bring a tear to my eye because my mum sang both
I'll Take you Home Again Kathleen
Danny Boy

[Tilly2]

Hiya, Pixie. You O.K.?
