Foo Fighters - 'My Hero' which I've always loved, but it became especially poignant when we thought we were going to lose Pops, and it came on in the car as i was driving home from the hospital. I had to pull over, couldn't see a thing for ages. Makes me snivel every time I hear it now.

Abba's 'Slipping through my fingers', prob most famous in Mama Mia, gets me every time I hear it. Or watch it.

I love that one too.

This one will always make me cry now. Didn't hear it before last week when my sister posted it on facebook. It was played and sung today at Brad's funeral by a relative of his Dad. Its fantastic, quite simply.

Smallblueplanet - why did you pick this thread up after over a year? Just intrigued! Great thread though, don't get me wrong!

[ginger ninger]

I've got to agree with Jeanied, this is a great tread.

Cant believe no-ones gone for taps..you know the bugle one they play at American funerals. Even when I know its coming I still cant stay dry-eyed.

Oh and Lonestars version of Amazed cos it came out just after Id split from my partner of nine years. It wasnt missing him but just that feeling of 'It'll never happen to me, being so loved' (till I met Al 4 yrs later and we're two bits that make a whole)
And Baker Street..that sax..wow
And that old kids song about humpty backed camels, where they didnt bring the unicorns

[Headfry]

YouTube - Humming Chorus from Madam Butterfly

this one gets me, not the best recording but still brings a tear!

[Headfry]

and another.....

Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush - Dont give up - not sure if that is the title of the song though - sorry

you gotta watch this clip.......just brilliant

[Pumpkin Becki]

I like a nice upbeat song myself, I even find 'Everybody Hurts' REM a wonderfully uplifting number, however, I do get a bit gulpy to 'And I love her' The Beatles, coz its our song, and I cried like a lunatic at a friends birthday party when 'Angels' Robbie Williams was played (I'd drunk far too much!!).

I wouldn't recognise 'taps' unless it is the same as we call "the last post" (same purpose). That should have been included.
Yeah, I know the kids' one you mean, dunno what it's called.
