Songs that make you cry

[Nebuchadnezzar]

One of my eldest sisters passed away aged 46 from cancer. she had Cerebral palsy. was on a lot of meds and couldn't drink alcohol... she had 2 vices smoking and man u.

After she died my sisters had decided on some shite celine dion song at the funeral. I said my sis wouldn't even know that song, she liked man u and that is a song we should have.

After many arguments i decided on glory glory man u, and they agreed. Its not a song i get upset at, but as it was played at the funeral i thought you enjoy that sis.

Sometimes we have to put who we support to one side.

I still have my nan's funeral booklet somewhere and that has a United badge on it.

Grace (been done by Rod Stewart and the Dubliners amongst others, not sure who’s song it originally is) gets me every time

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Watched a film about a girl dying of cancer and her parents try to make the other daughter give blood to keep her alive. A song in that certainly got the chopped onions out. Can't remember the name of the film.

Beeswing - Richard Thompson

"Maybe that's just the price you pay for the chains you refuse." Tears every time. Even when I've seen him do it live.

Also "Ol "55" by Tom Waits. And anything that ever came out of George Jones' voice box.

With you there on Beeswing mate.Know Richard and even opened up for him once.
Was written for either Annie Briggs or Vashti Bunyan apparently.

Kissing you,from the film Romeo and Juliet

 

[Two Gun Bob]

Florence and the Machine connecting to the soul via that universal language called music. Have a listen to this magnificent piece extracted the inter-web and if ever there was such a thing as a Carlsberg Musical Introduction this surely has to be it.

There are 5 levels of juxtaposition that make this video unbearably touching and meaningful. The first is the setting. An innocent teenage girl is fighting against the merciless face of mortality. We see the hand of Death preying on the weak. Then enter the Heroes; the forces of good. Not only family, not only friends but a celebrity... a modern day Royal (clad in white, nonetheless). Formidable as can be, they are powerless to stop the young girl's horrid affliction. The song is the definition of heartbreaking irony. The Dog Days are not over... The song, sung with that angelic voice, is the ultimate symbol of Hope & Strength. Yet, beautiful & powerful as they may be, they are nothing compared to the unforgiving force of death. It's like watching a duel between God and the Devil. We watch the battle of forces in real time. Beginning with the visible gratitude & awe of the family and friends, because they are meeting a celebrity. The celebrity's humility adds to her endearment. She is well-aware that she is the Hero of this precious moment. Her weapon, is Hope. Her foe is the force of Death (the emotion is most clearly shown @ 1:48 when the girl faces her family, overwhelmed, while family and Hero take each of her hands).

Anything by guns and roses. Usually from shards of plastic hitting my eye after I throw something at the stereo.

 

[Silva2121]

Anything by that twat Williams.
Cry in pain

No didn’t Google it. I lost my younger brother to cancer and that film made an impression on me. Very sad.

Sorry, I meant I googled it after your suggestion to see if it was that, which it was.
Very sorry for your loss.

Brilliant song from a very talented singer/songwriter ... or at least he was before he met with his own death in that plane accident 23 years ago.
