that's not Cocteau Twins, it's This Mortal Coil.

yup, one of my faves of all time,

Yep, from this album;

I used to have the 7" in the 80's, I took the bus to Birmingham to get it, after listening to it on the John Peel show a few nights before.

This Mortal Coil - Song to the Siren

That was the very song that prompted me to start this thread - and is the one on the very first post...

My Immortal by Evanescence is definitely up there
Our Farewell by Within Temptation as well

For bringing tears to my eyes it has to The Living Years by Mike and the Mechanics - probably doesn't qualify for this, and my dad is still alive so it shouldn't choke me up so much

I like that song too - but when I hear it, I cannot help but think it is a little too contrived and cater's perfectly for the 'teen-angst' market - especially in the wake of the Twighlight (and similar) movies.
