Seriously now....what songs make you cry ?

[Wongo]

Watching the Titanic and listening to Celine Dion’s singing endlessly makes me cry.

[HappyHammer]

Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong
Amazing Grace - Gospel

And as you bought up movies Wongo, The Champ, Jon Voight.

HH.

[Iain]

Come ye Sons of Art, magnificent counter tenor piece.

[Pat]

Iron Maiden - The Clansman

[Rossluck]

This was aparently written after Eric's son was killed after falling out of a window. You can hear the pain when he sings it.



Tears In Heaven

by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?

I must be strong
And carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven.

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven?

I'll find my way
Through night and day,
'Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven.

Time can bring you down,
Time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart,
Have you begging please, begging please.

Beyond the door,
There's peace I'm sure,
And I know there'll be no more
Tears in heaven.

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?

I must be strong
And carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven.

G'Day Ppl,

Quite a few Songs by Leonard Cohen
OK!!
I'm still playing 'Catch UP'

for some reason,
many Middle Eastern DOCTORS like his songs as well:confused:

My Heart Surgeon got me on to his music

[BrettC]

Yep, been listening to 'Walk in the Light Green' for the last few days - Must have been the Gin on the week-end...
You wouldn't let ya mates down until they had ya dusted off

Saw Anzac Day parade in George St year before last - was unbelievable, never seen it in that light before.

[Article99]

Pub with no Beer..

The concept of it all still gives me nightmares...

[tameriska]

The one song that makes me almost cry every time is Sunday Morning Coming Down, by Johnny Cash. This was one of my fathers favorite songs (other than the Purple People Eater) and the one that I had played at his funeral.

I have been a Johnny Cash fan for years was brought up on the "older" music, and the videoclip he made of Hurt is also hard to watch.

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Anything by Cyndi Lauper... usually tears of angst and frustration, especially if I can't get to the on/off switch.

[joe greiner]

I get a bit misty over "Procession of the Sardar" by Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov. 'Twas my late Dad's favourite, and now one of mine. Very stirring march music; best played at maximum volume. Similar for "Amazing Grace" of course. A while back someone mentioned bagpipe music scaring the bejabbers out of the enemy; as I understand it, that's why they used it.

I would have thought Mr Cohen would have apealled more to a shrink!
I must admit to being a LC fan as well.

For me its :

The Randall Knife by Guy Clark.

[silentC]

Bagpipes send a chill up the back of my neck. I'm listening to some right now as I type this (Under the Milkyway by The Church - have to learn it for a gig).

[Bob38S]

"The Band Played Waltzing Matilda"

Words by Eric Bogle but I prefer the version sung by Doug Ashdown - a very great, underrated and often forgotten Aussie singer

[Doughboy]

Anything by Celine Dion makes me cry


........... not because they are masterpeices but because I can not believe that some dumb-ass record exec thinks that her music is original and worthy. OMG
