What song makes you cry?

[rupert the dog]

I'm sorry if this has been done before (I'd be surprised if it hasn't) but what makes you really blub? Love & Affection by Joan Armatrading used to do it for me, but I think I'm getting old and cynical, because it doesn't work any more

[nixy p]

oh god loads! A sure one to make me blub is the braveheart theme music!

[hogfisch]

Without wanting it to sound a cliche, Art Garfunkel's Bright Eyes gets me going after the first 5 seconds!

Robbie Wessels - Halley se Komeet.

It's an Afrikaans song but the words move me. If you're interested

One line in particular roughly translates as: "I wish I could see the Southern Cross again for the first time. I wish my granddad could show me Halley's comet again."

I'm a big softie.

I love that..........

[robsco]

The closest I've been to crying from a song is Asleep by The Smiths. An Ending (Ascent) can be a very emotional song also, dependent on your mood and surroundings. Oh, and The Next Life by Suede is the same.

Fields of gold - Sting

[alfa pint]

Kate Bush - This Woman's Work gets me pretty much every time.

Tim Minchin wrote a song about life and acceptance that is my current heart renderer - can't remember what it's called (not perfect?), but it runs along the lines of:

This is my earth, and I live in it etc etc it's not perfect, but it's mine. It's where I spend the vast majority of my time. It's not perfect, but it's mine.
This is my house, and I live in it etc etc it's not perfect, but it's mine. It's where I spend the vast majority of my time. It's not perfect, but it's mine.
This is my body, and I live in it etc etc it's not perfect, but it's mine. It's where I spend the vast majority of my time. It's not perfect, but it's mine.
This is my brain, and I live in it etc etc it's not perfect, but it's mine. It's where I spend the vast majority of my time. It's not perfect, but it's mine.

Worth a listen on you tube.
