Tiggy Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 ANYTHING by Eva Cassidy for me. Especially Fields of Gold. The passion in her voice sets me off. ( Me too. and me the one that really used to set me off was 'Honey I miss you' cant remember who by, it used to be around in the 70s, I had to walk out of a shop once in tears when they played it - not good for custom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joojoo Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Oh where to start... Honey - Bobby Goldsboro was one of my Mum's favourites and was played at her funeral. My Dad played it repeatedly afterwards for weeks and weeks and weeks. Walk Away - Matt Monroe was played at Dad's funeral. Don't Stop Believing - Journey, Forever Autumn - Justin Hayward, Don't Wanna Miss A Thing - Aerosmith and The Pretender - Foo Fighters were all played at Ashley's service. I can't listen to any of them at all now I was driving somewhere in the car a couple of weeks ago when Long Road to Ruin by the Foo Fighters came on the radio and I just started sobbing. We saw them in concert four times over the past 4 years and we loved them so much but it's just to painful for me to listen to them now. Annie's Song - John Denver always sets me off too.

PurpleTree Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I was thinking about this in bed this morning. I've Got Something to Say - Reef Tender - Blur Angels - Levellers All of these hubby put on a mix tape for me when we first got together, and he was living in Yorkshire and I was in Cardiff. Listened to that tape constantly. Godspeed - Radney Foster First heard this one sung at our local Folk Club/Open Mic night, apparently he wrote it for his son when his ex-wife took him to live in France with her, Radney still lived in America. He filled a tape on both sides with it, so his son could fall asleep listening to it, and thinking of him. Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol This was played at a funeral of someone I always knew in school, he was only 27 and he committed suicide, I don't think his family ever found what was so wrong that he thought that was the only answer. They played this as they were taking the coffin out of the Church, can't hear it without thinking of him now. Sure I thought of some more but I can't think of them now.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Hallelujah (Rufus Wainsright's version on the Shrek CD) was the first track I heard in my car after hearing my half-sister had died. Can't hear it now without remembering that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelbel Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Dance with my father. Although I think it's cheesy it still gets me sometimes. I don't think it's cheesy at all. First time I heard that song I howled and howled. Still brings a lump to my throat now - even thinking about it typing this. Catherine Jenkins picked it yesterday on Radio 2 as part of the tracks of her years. Hey Jude makes me sad. It was my Dad's favourite song and it was played when we left the crematorium after his funeral service. So, if appropriate, I sing it at the top of my voice (as my Dad used to do) to make me feel happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Pudding Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 OH's Dad was a huge fan of Elvis. His coffin was carried out of the church to 'American Trilogy' and I have a tear in my eye every time I hear the line that goes 'hush little baby, don't you cry....' My uncle died recently. He was a peripatetic music teacher, and at the service one of his clarinet students played the 'Victorian Kitchen Garden ' music. Although it was a sad occasion, it was one of his favourite pieces to play and to teach - hearing it reminds me of him. You can listen to it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkqJP2H4_II&feature=related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirl Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 For me it has to be Here comes the sun by the Beatles as it was played at my brother's funeral. For a similar reason The Bangles- Eternal Flame as it was one of his favourite songs. Also JLS - Beat again because it reminds me of when Tom was first in hospital over here and it wasn't released before his trauma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
