"I suppose that wanting to destroy the radio anytime I hear something by the vapid creature that is Taylor Swift could be called 'getting emotional'"
Just for you as I’m feeling so generous: ‘Shake it off, shake it off’  |

The Night We Met by Lord Huron. It's on my Spotify playlist. I should remove it.
Heard that earlier today and just broke down crying, mainly because I heard something an hour earlier that really fucking devastated me. Again. |

"In Memoriam by Velos. It was dedicated to the victims of the Manchester bombing. Beautiful and very moving. "
I met some of the Manchester Survivor’s Choir in the queue fir the ladies at the Sunday Ed Sheeran concert in Manchester. Cracking bunch of girls, so brave as it was their 1st concert - they’d had a surprise meet & greet & were buzzing

Not many songs bring me to tears
But when i listened for the first time to "Rummer's" version of "Close to You" by the Carpenters on her "This Girl's In Love" album...........i was constantly having to clear tears from my eyes.............gorgeous, serene, emotional and just simply perfect  |

Most recent to get me weepy; Old Tyge; a song about a guy's dog.
My usual weepies;
Father and Son by Cat Stevens first sung to me by Princess before I had seen GOTG volume 2 and been educated in music.
Those were the Days by Mary Hopkins and Mull of Kintyre and anything by Nana Mouskuri as the first two were played at my Gramps' funeral as his total favourites and Nana Mouskuri was his favourite singer so was often belting out in the background when used to go visit him as a kid. |

Saw Taylor Swift in Saturday night at Wembley. (Guilty pleasure, what can I say?)
New Year’s Day (Swifty, not U2) is beautiful and a wee bit emotional. And I got a bit emotional when she did Gorgeous. |

We all take different meanings from songs, I went to Nashville for my 40th, I was lucky enough to meet a brilliant songwriter called Lori McKenna, one of her songs is called “ Ladders and Parachutes” , she told me why she wrote the song, always pulls at my heart strings. |

Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton
I used to dance to it every week with my Nan before she went into a dementia care home. She means that much I’ve got her dedicated on my arm (my tattoo)
She went in back in Feb and they have only played it at work I’d say a small handful of times, where as before what ever band we had on they would play it every week

"Faith Hill There you'll be had me streaming with tears the other day and Lost by Michael Buble. Played them both at our babies's funeral. "
(hugs)
I listened to Unpretty by TLC the other day, reminded me of when it first came out and how I used to feel about myself!
Wish I could turn back time and give myself a 'stop being so stupid slap'!

So many of their songs have awesome lyrics … Justin has a knack of using his songwriting as therapy! |

Eric Clapton & Sting - It's probably me. For someone I loved who never knew it.
George Michael - Father figure. To Kelly Jane.....
Thin Lizzy - Still in love with you. For the love I lost and never forgot.
Rose Royce - Love don't live here anymore. Playing on the radio when I took the call to say my daughter had slipped away.
Part of me likes this thread, part of it fills me with maudlin melancholy.....

"Good Riddance by Green Day has recently made me cry - some of the lyrics seemed especially poignant following the death of someone I was very close to."
One of my all time top 5 favourite songs.
I'd say 'People live here' - Rise Against |

As a musician who frequently plays it for funerals I can agree there! I’ve played it for two funerals just in the last fortnight and it’s always hard to focus when it’s such a powerful piece. The American equivalent is the Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber, frequently performed after 9/11. Again, very hard to play without welling up!
If you really want powerful music to move you which you may not yet know go to the famous Requiems - by Verdi, Mozart, Rutter, Faure and, least known to most people but most loved by musicians, the one by Maurice Durufle. Literally music to die for! |

Ok, now let’s get serious with the depressing and tear-jerking stuff! In no particular order, four absolutely unbelievably painful masterpieces of the last century:
1) Penderecki - Threnody to the victims of Hiroshima. This is no hack off-the-shelf horror music. He pushes the orchestra to its absolute technical limits to achieve mind-altering effects. https://youtu.be/Pu371CDZ0ws
2) Shostakovich - Slow movement of his 2nd piano trio. If you’ve read Solzhenitsyn or haven’t, if you want to feel the depression of living under Stalin’s brutal regime, or understand Soviet Cold War Russia, this is for you! https://youtu.be/DsVTDhJh8nM STARTING AT 12:16.
3) Messiaen - Les Ténèbres from Livre du Saint Sacrement depicting in sound the moment of Jesus’s death and the resulting darkness and chaos. It’s the bluprint for every hack composer of horror film music since! Every note is crafted. Sorry this isn’t a live video but this is one of the finest recordings out there. Listen in a darkened room with a candle or two and turn the volume up full! https://youtu.be/sbm0vBdjGdQ
Finally, Messiaen again - his Quatuor pour le fin de temps or Quartet for the end of time was written while in a Nazi concentration camp for the few available musicians and instruments. In places, beautifully joyous but more often, gut-wrenchingly painful. Shut your eyes and let this disturbing music wash over you and transport you to the world of Nazi oppression we thankfully were all saved from. Set aside the 50 mins to listen to the whole in one go uninterrupted. You’ll probably be a different person at the end, I slmost guarantee! https://youtu.be/QAQmZvxVffY
Government health warning: Some music may be bad for your health!

To joofsussex, the dj tiesto did a version of adagio for strings. Very well done as well it is. Doesn't make me emotional, unlike Otis Reading, sitting on the dock of the bay. Was at Southampton waiting for isle of wight ferry, and it came to me. Very teary. |

Thanks - yep, it’s not my kinda music but I can see how he’s treated it and how well it works for its genre. I agree it’s certainly not emotional in that remix, and hell, Otis Reading is in another class altogether! Sitting in the dock of the bay - That’s a special song with some great musicians! Full of meaning and superb musicianship! Definitely goosebump music! |

Linderman. home sweet home.
Born in the breath of a vicious sea
The beast came with the rain
Fallen upon your milky skin
A cunning drop crawled in your vein
Never ever got prepared
So shaken, helpless and so scarred
Search the needle in your hair
Gone bald there's nothing there
Home sweet home
Inside you, eating your bones
Home sweet home
Eyes on fire lips in foam
And it's called the cold
It's caught inside you
And it eats it eats and grows
Inside you and it never goes
And it never goes
Two more days the end's in sight
Tumor days so deep inside
So distressing and very violent
And it kills it kills so slow and silent
Never ever got prepared
So shaken, helpless and so scarred
Search the needle in your hair
Gone bald there's nothing there
And nothing there
Home sweet home
Inside you, eating your bones
Home sweet home
Eyes on fire lips in foam
And it's called the cold is cold
It's caught inside you
And it eats it eats and grows
Inside you and it never goes
And it never goes
And it never goes |

This is me from The Greatest Showman.
The words always pull a heart string with me as I can relate to them incredibly closely....
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me

My Man - The Eagles. Such a heartfelt song.
Without You - Bad Finger(not Nillson) version.
Poor Pete Ham took his own life after the music business screwed him over. The song was about when his girlfriend left him. |

They used this in The Full Monty Ladies Night earlier this year. My cousin at the time was battling breast cancer. This song floored me then. She passed away a month later aged 42. This song breaks my heart every time without fail now  |

"Linkin park one more light "
I second this. It never fully sinks in that Chester's gone, so every time I hear one of their songs it hits me again, and this song almost always has me in tears.
Linking park's music has helped me through some tough times and helped me process my feelings better than anything else. Another beautiful soul gone far too soon. |

I have a tribute to linkin park CD, but I've been unable to listen to my Google play version of any linkin park tracks, apart from a special one called Numb. It means a lot to me, does Numb, as the lyrics are so appropriate for me of being myself as a trans girl that has to deal with other peoples shit being thrown at me. |

Since one or two hymns are already on the list I’ll just chuck in one for an upcoming funeral - The day Thou gavest, Lord, is ended. One slow, slushy Victorian hymn to tug on the heartstrings.
Twas sung at the end of every academic year at my school to get all the leavers in floods of tears! Worked a treat every time! |

Red by Daniel Merriweather made me cry today
No sympathy
When shouting out is all you know
Behind your lies
I can see the secrets you don't show
You took something perfect
And painted it red
You take the best things from me
Then everything gets empty
That's not a world that I need
These lines in particular |
