Fort Jefferson said: Ludovico Einaudi's, Fuori Dal Mondo. I agree, although possibly Dietro Casa or Nuvole Bianche

Second page and no mention of Ebony Eyes by the Everly Brothers, perhaps it's my age.

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.

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.

I can't listen to Sia - Breathe Me without crying, same for Barry Manilow - Can't Smile Without You (was played at a friend's funeral), and the theme from The Littlest Hobo - Terry Bush - Maybe Tomorrow, stupid dog.

Oh, and there's always this one, especially when you know the story behind it - the true story of when he took his girlfriend to have an abortion: Ben Folds - Brick

Kentish said: 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.

An obvious one is "My Immortal" by Evanescence.
"Wires" - "Athlete" is especially moving when you realise it is about the premature birth of the lead singer's daughter.
