There is a song by U2 on their debut album "Boy" called "Tomorrow" which always gets me. It is based on Bono losing his mother when he was young and not understanding why she has gone and being angry that she has. The song, although not technically brilliant, captured for me how I felt when I lost my sister and will always have an emotional impact on me whenever I hear it.

From Bolton's very own cherry ghost, ignore the first 20 seconds gets going after that


And from Bury's very own Elbow...

Who wants to live forever - Queen. Was my Dad's favourite film and always gets me since he passed a few years ago.

Blurry - Puddle of Mudd. He wrote this when his ex-partner moved away with his kid and as mine don't live with me either it tugs on the old heart-strings

Always miss my grandfather. Served in WW2. The reason I'm in the merchant marine.

And then this. Not so much for the piece of music, though it is beautiful, but for the episode that follows. Just an amazingly heart-wrenching piece of television and history that should never be forgotten.
