Thread: Seriously now....what songs make you cry ?

Up here in Qld we play both sorts of music!! Country ..... and .............. western. Sad but true.

The music of "Row row row" to the lyrics "Oh Where from..." Thats a half a Kleenex box every time i hear it

pretty much any hym at the Dawn Service especially Abide with me. And the Last Post. Everyone should go to a dawn service once in their lives.

definetly.

Anything from Neil Diamond makes me cry tears of blood.
That mongrel should have been thrown of a cliff before he learnt to sing.

My brother and I drove from Warren to Brisbane and the only tape in his ute was bloody Neil Diamond. I threw it it out the window by the time we hit Guyra.
He got the shitz and we drove the rest of the way with me singing Metallica's Enter Sandman and him constantly telling me to shut the fluck up.

Note to self: Must ring brother and give him the shitz.

drag up an old thread if I may?
I watched Watership Down when I was about 8 then heard 'Bright Eyes' by Art Garfunkel (from the movie) on the radio and cried.
More recently Queen 'Who wants to love forever' brought a tear after the missus left, she's back now though. And I didn't have to sell the house

try "Haunted" by Sinead O'Connor and Shane McGowan (from the Pogues)

For me, it's 'We Are One', from the soundtrack of The Lion King 2. We played it at the funeral of our eldest child, Ben, who died of cancer when he was 4. It was his favourite, and very appropriate, and when the lion cub sang his part the whole room balled. I still put it on and cry when I miss him too much; always feel better for it.

'Tears in Heaven', because I can relate to it. It is such a perfect encapsulation of the feeling of losing a child ( and because it came on the radio on the second anniversary of Ben's death, as I was giving birth to his brother Abel, and made me weep and swear even more than I was already).

'Danny Boy', because it's a great old heartbreaker of a song, and because I used to sing "Benny Boy" to get my firstborn to sleep as a baby and it turned out to be a bit too close to the bone.

"Don't Ya (wish your girlfriend was Hot like Me)" because it's so damn awful, and my 7 year old daughter won't stop singing it!

"You've done us proud" by Slim Dusty, one of my dads favourites, played at his funeral, geez i miss him.
