Loads.
Sound of Silence - Disturbed
Monsters - James Blunt
Hallelujah - Pentatonix.
I urge anyone who's not heard it to listen, with headphones.
No instruments, all done with voice and body.

Death Cab for Cutie - I Will Follow You into the Dark (as heard in the final episode of After Life).
The first time I ever heard it, years ago, it resonated and has done ever since!
'Love of mine
Someday you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light
Or tunnels, to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
In Catholic school, as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son, fear is the heart of love, " so I never went back
And if Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
But it's nothing to cry about
'Cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms
And if Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark' |

2 from 1, enigma (1) return to innocense and silent warrior! A song that commands a proper listen with headfones, passion, anger and a story! with atmospheric soundtrack, spine chilling, goose bumpy piece if time given to listen to properly  |

Find The River by R.E.M
A day after losing a good friend on a white water canoeing trip on the West Lyn, this song came on the car radio. After the previous days trauma of rescuing him then trying to revive him, this beautiful song was just too much. I had to pull over and bawled my eyes out. I still can’t listen to it without tearing up. |

I was told my dad had died; I live in London, he lived in Glasgow. I left home at 4am to travel up to Scotland, just as I merged onto the M6, a song came on the radio and it was the first time I had heard it – it was still dark and I had to pull over and stop the car on the hard shoulder for a couple of minutes because I couldn’t see the road in front of me through my tears:

"Yes, quite a few. Some happy, some sad, generally not radio-fodder so no point listing them here. "
Are you the only person on Fab that listens to music anywhere other than the radio ?  |

"Nimrod.
Every time, but even more so on a particular day in November.
I made my daughter learn it on the trumpet so she can play it at my funeral.
"
Beautiful. |

Was just chatting about this with a friend. Youll never walk alone was played at my dads funeral. Id heard it 1000 times before but until i sat there and just listened to the lyrics it never really hit me. I struggle to listen to it now without welling up. |

It affected the group that paddled that day in different ways - about half never got in a kayak again, for me I doubled down on the resuscitation training - in the years that followed, somewhat unexpectedly (just being in the right place at the right time I guess) I’ve actually used those skills - I’ve lost two (massive heart attack / chest trauma so no chance) but got two back who had stopped breathing (recommend chest compressions to the Prodigy- Breathe… With Me, inhale, inhale, you’re the victim  ) |

Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings.
Normally the BBC Proms ends with Pomp & Circumstance but after 9/11 it didn't seem right.
So the Adagio closed the Proms that year. I think the whole of Albert Hall and everyone watching on telly cried... |

"Kenny Rogers - Ruby, dont take your love to town.
Billy Joel - Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel).
Just listened to both and barely keeping control. "
Kenny Rodgets very underrated. I like to sing the Gambler by Kenny |

A slightly strange one
But the Brum Opening Titles also make me cry as it reminds me of my grandad |
