The next one was played at the funeral of a friend and is guaranteed to make me tear up:
Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms

Mike and the Mechanics?
I heard the reason he wrote it. quite moving.Mike and the Mechanics?
Honourable mentions for Sanvean by Lisa Gerrard, Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits, the Band of Brothers Requiem by Mike Kamen and Hurt covered by Johnny Cash.
On a more personal note, I was left standing in a hospital room when my heavily pregnant wife was rushed to theatre when my unborn sons heart stopped beating and "Heaven must be missing an angel" came on the radio.
I may have hurled the f
king thing against the wall in a burst of emotional rage and had to buy a new one a few days later.turbolucie said:

The Last Post.
Looking round the local war Memorial seeing less of the older generation each year, and tragically, many more younger ones come home maimed to take their place. Guaranteed to put dust in my eyes.

Luther Vandross; Dance with my Father.
This. My wife has lost both parents, if this comes on tv or the radio I have to make a dive to change the channel/station before the waterworks start.Flying Pickets - Only You and Art Garfunkel - Bright Eyes are 2 others that seem to have the same effect.

Perhaps not a sad song, but for me it's pink Floyds wish you were here, it was played at the funeral of a very great lady I was with at the time- hoping not to get ridiculed but she was hit by a cab whilst in America.
Yes, I do realise how that sounds.
For similar reasons, the fields of athenry, and for even stranger reasons- you've got a friend in me from toy story.
Piss taking may now commence
