Okay, you big tough girls…
are there any songs that bring a tear to your eye…
sorry, that wasn’t a tear, it was a speck of grit!!!!
I’m a Carrie Underwood fan, and two of her songs nearly always hit the tear ducts for me…”Jesus take the wheel” and ” Temporary Home” ( watch the video)….😭😭😭
So girls, do you ever get emotional and teary over a certain song????
Pass the tissues, grace 😥

When I’m alone in the car out for a drive, I’ll crank up Fix You by Coldplay. Bellowing along (certainly not singing!), I’ll cry me a river. “When the tears come streaming down your face….”
Right up there with guaranteed waterworks is the original Broadway cast recording of Les Miserables. It takes a longer road trip, but with all the death and heartache, I’m about cried out by the end of it. Clara gives it a rating of four Kleenex boxes. It’s much more than “A Little Fall of Rain”.
OMG I’m getting a little moist now just thinking about it. Gotta go…my mascara’s running……

Good Morning Grace,
This one is very personal. The song is called “Arbor Day Tree”. Recorded by The DandyLionesses, on the CD “The Whole Story”. The lyrics were written by my wife and her friend put it to music. It is about our son planting a tiny tree and follows his life as both he and the tree grow taller. I’m starting to choke up just writing this. Whew.
Stay safe, stay healthy, All the Best, Hugs, Krista.

Another good one. I sort had that dad only mine literally was never in my life. Now I suspect that my daughter sometimes wishes that I wasn’t so much in her life. No not really but we are real close with the same likes and taste so maybe some of the good parts of me have been pasted to her. Whatever skills I may have as a father I learned from my stepdad, god rest his soul! Damn now I am crying!

Oh gosh Grace, there are so many emotional songs out there. I used to be not so open emotionally until after my sessions of chemotherapy. I cannot prove it by just how I am now, but there was definitely a change.
Into The Fire…. Bruce Springsteen— the official video will make you ask ‘Why?’ after you see it.
Dry Your Eyes… Neil Diamond
The Living Years… Mike and The Mechanics
Let It Be n Hey Jude… The Beatles
Dimming Of The Day… Bonnie Raitt
Rocky Mountain High, Cold Nights In Canada, Rhymes And Reasons, A Song For All Lovers, Flying For Me… John Denver— so many of his songs will do it.
Little Wing… Derek & The Dominoes. It reminds me of my oldest niece when she was 2-3 years old.
Fountain Of Sorrow… Jackson Browne.
So, so many more. Music is supposed to move us, emotionally, spiritually, and to make us think. But don’t forget the simple songs you sang as a child either, there to make us feel happy and maybe teach a little something too.

There are 3 songs that relate to my deep love for my darling SO
1/. Carol King’s “Loving You Forever”. I first heard this live here in Melbourne circa 2006 when CK did her “Living Room Tour”. My beloved was there right next to me.
2/. Judith Durham singing “Colours of my Life” another lovely love song
3/. This one really got the tears going.
Richard Samuel’s “Just to see you”. sample lyric “I wake up every morning just to see you”.
Trouble is, I first heard it in the late 90’s, on a hire car stereo in the car park of my hotel just outside Toronto. Two weeks into a four week round world business trip and missing home and me darlin’ “sumthin shockin”
Richard is a vastly underrated Canadian singer/ songwriter in the Billy Joel mould and I have had the pleasure of meeting him and seeing him play live… 20 years ago if it’s a day, but I will always treasure his music.
To bring it back to CD land, he released two piano instrumental “soft lights” CD’s. Caty plays them on her I pod when doing her make up, when doing overnight trips away from home.

Polly – When you’re alone in your bed, won’t you tell me the thoughts that surround you, I want to look inside your head……” The lines about the singer and Marie-Claire begging on the back streets of Naples indeed make me melancholy – plus the song always makes me remember the late 60’s and of having hopes and dreams for the future. Didn’t the summers always seems hotter then – and the likes of Marianne Faithfull and Bridget Bardot always made you think that the days to come could be glamorous and beautiful? You’re making me all nostalgic… Ancient Inga…

And here’s how to make me even less masculine than I already am… Purely because it reminds me of a lost childhood and the hopes I had then; Puff the Magic Dragon, by Peter, Paul & Mary. “Dragons live forever, but not so little boys…” Didn’t everyone want to not have to grow up? Now feeling ancient… Inga.
- April 19, 2021 at 9:00 am #481090
“Puff” made me remember back when my sister taught me that I could call the radio station and ask them to play a certain song, and that the guy probably would do it. The town where we lived was maybe 10,000 people back then and had only 1 radio station on the AM band. I had to stand on a chair to reach the wall phone, but the people here got hear “Puff The Magic Dragon” every day for almost a month before my attention got directed another direction. But, the guy that answered the phone got to know my name and what time I was going to call each day, and he would dutifully play it for me, and everyone else in town too.

Everton? Who could have anything other than total respect for them? A proper, for-the-fans team (unless they beat LCFC in which case they are a bunch of talentless Scousers that everyone loathes… until the next time we beat them……) By the way; most folk here still aren’t happy about the dodgy dealing you dictated when selling Leicester’s finest – Gary Winston Lineker – on to Barcelona: we needed the dosh. Strange to think in these days that anyone could be that worried about £250,000…… Everton still stand a good chance of finishing ahead of Liverpool – let’s all hope it comes off! I’m Leicester Till I Die…. Inga.

One song that I’ve always liked but takes in a different meaning to me of late is “she’s always a woman“ by Billy Joel. I don’t recall if anyone mentioned it earlier in this forum but it really moved me. As a cd (non trans)person I feel a bit of a duality and the lyrics of the song feel almost like observing the female part within me. The song is beautiful but the description of the woman isn’t exactly flattering and I can feel my alter ego peaking through in his words(essentially she is using him and is extremely manipulative for those who aren’t familiar with the song) I m sure the way Im interpreting it wasn’t Billy’s meaning when he wrote it but that’s how it struck me the last time I heard it. A one way relationship and billy is on the short end, I can empathize with him dealing with melanie at times feels the same way.

Hey Grace
Hope you are well today!
Ok, here goes, top of the playlist has to be Bright Eyes from Watership Down, never fails to get me welling up.
Both Sides Now by Joni Mitchell is another, especially when you are watching Love Actually, absolutely heart breaking!
Finally, it’s Kate Bush and This Women’s Work. The lyrics, the song and the video all combined are absolutely brilliant but tragic and tearful in the same breath.

a tear to my eveytime - August 11, 2021 at 8:10 pm #530196
A previous poster mentioned Amazing Grace, which I used to play on piano, but it brought tears to my wife’s eyes as it was her Father’s favourite. So I stopped playing it!
For me a song from the 60’s or 70’s called “Little Green Apples”, by O C Smith I think. He describes in a curious, but beautiful way the way his wife loves him, and a line in it about calling her to meet for lunch always gets me. As I used to do the same to my wife when I was on the road quite a bit, I’d call her and say I think I’ll be back in town in a half hour or so, or whatever.
In the song, he says, “And I’m always late”, but in my case it was her that was usually late! I didn’t mind, like in the song I’d wait patiently for her, and smile when I saw her.
The song really describes her love for her man. Something I think we all should try to achieve for whomever the love of our life is.
So many others, but this is the first one which comes to mind.

Every time I revisit this thread, a whole list of songs pop up in my head.
The best instrumental of “Amazing Grace” is the Highland Guard Drum and Pipe Corp in ‘The Last Tatoo’.
Other songs that bring on the water:
Into The Fire…. Bruce Springsteen
Fragile…. Jesse Cook and Holly Cole
Wreck On The Highway…. another by Springsteen
And a very old one from the 60’s that I don’t know if many know it, D.O.A. ….. Bloodrock
Morningside (live)…. Neil Diamond
Just so many to list. A lot of them are meant to elicit those emotions in general, and some do on a more personal level for private reasons.

Loved reading through these. A read an interview with a music producer who classified good music as music that invokes a feeling, thought or emotion you’ve experienced. Great music invokes a feeling, thought or emotion you’ve never had. Always stuck with me.
An obscure one though for me is Ghost Love Score from Nightwish. Knowing the story of true unrequited love being played out in this epic song, the writers feeling right there in the notes and then performing it on stage as I can only assume its cathartic.
Definitely wells up emotions fo sure.A few others sans-explanation:
Exit Music (For a Film) – Radiohead
Lotus – Liv Kistine
In My Arms – Ancient Bards
Accidental Babies – Damien Rice - August 18, 2021 at 2:55 pm #532707

Silently the senses, abandon their defenses,Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender,
Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendor
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Turn you face away from the garish light of day
Turn your thoughts away from cold unfeeling light
And listen to the music of the nightClose your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams
Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before
Close your eyes let your spirit start to soar
And you’ll live as you’ve never lived beforeSoftly, deftly, music shall caress you
Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the nightLet your mind start a journey through a strange new world
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
Let your soul take you where you long to be
Only then can you belong to meFloating, falling, sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
To the power of the music of the nightYou alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the nightSniff….where’s the kleenex!

Not only do I get tears, but goose bumps when I hear, “Can you feel the love tonight” by Sir Elton John from the Lion King.
