Songs that can make you cry

[Ron Manager]

Don't know if we've done this before I not, I half suspect we have. Pretty sure if we have it was a while ago...so here we go (again, possibly) -

For me...Tank Park Salute by Billy Bragg

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

I'm forever blowing bubbles.

Especially when sung in Southend.

 

[Napster]

we're going up with tilly and brush

ooh actually, one team in essex, as sung by shaun goater on his leaving appearance

non-football: dont let the sun go down on me, and albatross - both played at uncles funeral

 

[EastStandBlue]

Anything by N-Dubz. Tears of rage, I assure you.

 

[southend4ever]

Jerusalem by Parry & Elgar.

You Raise me Up - Westlife.

 

[Swiss Tony]

The living years-Michael and the machanics and Tank park salute.

 

[MK Shrimper]

I don't think any song has ever made me cry? Am I a cold hearted barsteward?

 

[Uncle Leo]

Good thread and one I've intended to post myself but...erm...forgot.

I can't think of any songs that make me cry per se, but the opening bars of "St Swithin's Day" by Billy Bragg (one of my favourite songs and the most played on my iPod) always bring on a bout of melancholy. Bragg's version of "Dolphins" has much the same effect.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Yeah, it’s part of a...trilogy really, a musical trilogy I’m doing... in... D minor, which I always find is really the saddest of all keys really. I don’t know why, but it makes people weep instantly, you play a..baaaaa...baaaaaa
it’s a horn part.
MARTY: It’s very pretty.
NIGEL: ...baaaa, baaaaa, yeah, just simple lines intertwining, you know very much like, I’m really influenced by
Mozart and Bach, it’s sort of in between those, really, it’s like a Mach piece really, it’s...
MARTY: What do you call this?
NIGEL: Well, this piece is called “Lick My Love Pump”.

MacArthur Park.

Just thinking of that ruined cake is enough to set me off. What a waste.

It's as big a tragedy as Noel Edmonds' continuing well-being.

Kind Regards

For sad reasons, I played Aphex Twin - Lichen a lot when my grandad passed away earlier this year:

And in a good way, Einaudi - Stella del Mattino reminds me of my wife walking down the aisle:

I'm a massive Eels fan and the first time I heard this, I felt so incredibly sad I nearly had a tear in my eye:

The first time I heard this, I felt like crying too:

I don't think any song has ever made me cry?

Only one song has done it for me. It was Neil Young's 'One Of These Days' and here's the reason why ...

I'd moved down to Cornwall in early '94 and I was doing Child Protection work which I wasn't really cut out for, if truth be told, but having only recently given a month's notice on my old job in London I found I could go straight into this one as it was covering for someone on long-term leave through stress. Should have realised then that I might have been running into problems...but hey-ho, I thought let's go for it as I'd not been able to get any jobs down here though I'd been trying for the previous six months. Anyway, after about three months of this CP work, doorstepping and struggling with all the abuse issues that you come up against, I was in a right old state and I had to go off with stress myself. A mate of mine sent me a cassette compilation and this was the first track on it. I was playing it in the car and I had to pull over to the side of the road as it had me in floods of tears! Amazing...think it just hit home with the words about friendship and acceptance of people's strengths and weaknesses...not to mention the fact I was missing real good mates like him big-time. Anyway, I'm pleased to report that I can now play it without acting like a big 'jessie' but it always reminds me of how it was. Still, I'm ok now, I'm ok now, I'm ok now...:)
