WHich song always brings a lump to your throat?

"Gone too Soon" by Michael Jackson always hits me somewhere deep down. It reminds me of someone in my life who was gone too soon. It's a very simple song yet so powerful.

Another Einaudi track from the film This is England can also get to me. Dietro Casa.

For anyone that has not seen this film the young kid who is featured throughout the video was taken from an EBD Unit (Educational - Emotional Behavioural Difficulties Unit), has no acting experience at all and is incredible in the film.

There is a light that never goes out - The Smiths
 
Wind Beneath My Wings by Bette Middler as it was played at my nanna's funeral.
 
The Tony Rich Project - Nobody Knows,

it was in the charts the day my grandad died, may 19th 1995 and the words
in this song still make me bawl like a kid everytime i hear it.

some great stuff here. Tangerine Dream, Roger Waters,Pink Floyd etc.
Its fascinating the range of music and how different styles evoke differing emotions in people. I have loved music since my dad bought me Piper at the Gates of Dawn by Pink Floyd and have explored various style in the last 35+ years. I will listen to most things and love it or hate it.
This album has its eye watering moments, guitar playing at its best

Eric Clapton - Tears in Heaven

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRsJlAJvOSM]

"Tears in Heaven" is a ballad written by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings about the pain Clapton felt following the 1991 death of his four-year-old son, Conor, who fell from a 53rd-story window in his mother's friend's New York City condominium. By all accounts, the death was simply a tragic accident, and Clapton was distraught for months afterwards

oh and just about every single Queen track, pre.1985, as they all were so so so so soooooooooo stunning then, and I see them in their stage stills & music vids, and then many years later, and I can't help but think to myself what a sh*t idea somebody had to think of making us age, and after being here on this earth so many thousands of years, why have we not found something to reverse it :(, aging is a disease which we are yet to overcome :( :(. maybe one day, i hope so....

For songs with feeling for me would be:
Who want's to live forever - Queen
Nothing else matters (version with Royal Philharmonic Orchestra) - Metallica

The intro Metallica use at their gigs from "The good, the bad and the ugly" when that starts the hairs stand up.

And for a fine feel good song, you can't beat "Teenage Kicks"
 
It took me four weeks to learn the Israel Kamakawiwo'ole version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow, it is a really hard track to play on the Uke, but superb and so full of heart.

For me there are three tracks that actually bring tears to my eyes - Green Day - Good Riddance, i had a friend who i rode with who died in a motorcycle accident, the BMX company he rode for used it on a tribute section on a DVD for him, when they premiered it, i swear there were about 40 BMXer;s in the room with tears in their eyes. And also ELO - Mr. BlueSky, my friend carried his fathers coffin in to this at his funearl, and it just makes me remember that day and thinking how small he looked, but how amazingly proud of him myself and all of his friends wre of him, he coped amazingly. And finally The Jam - Thats Entertainment, it reminds me of my Uncle, who died when i was young, he was only 29. I'm welling up right now:'(:lol:
 
link broke, which song is it?
 
For me.....

Cold Play - Fix you

and a couple by Damien Rice on the 'O' cd

and one by Janis Joplin, so bad I can no longer listen and hence can't remember the title! :'( :'( :'(

The Metallica intro is called 'Ecstasy of Gold', or at least it is on the album S&M.
I've just re-read you post and I'm sure you're already aware of that actually ;)

"Nothing Else Matters" is tremendously good on that album. I always crank it up so the first 1:20 is at bleeding-ears volume, really is beautiful.

For those who haven't had the pleasure... Please watch it till at least 2 minutes in! :D:D

That's the one, could not for the life of me think of the name. The version of nothin else matters is on the single. It is not the version on S&M it was done quite a few years before it's full tilte for some reason is 'Nothin Else Matters (Elevator version)' Well of to see the boys for two nights in January in Chicago can't wait, I know it's going to be bloody cold, but hey ho!!!

This one doesn't just bring a lump to my throat, I weep uncontrollably every time I hear it. For that reason, I only listen to it when I'm alone. It is the most powerful lyric I've ever heard, without equal.

[YOUTUBE]TH2LoYnQeog[/YOUTUBE]

"When The Tigers Broke Free" (Pink Floyd)
It was just before dawn
One miserable morning in black 'forty four.
When the forward commander
Was told to sit tight
When he asked that his men be withdrawn.
And the Generals gave thanks
As the other ranks held back
The enemy tanks for a while.
And the Anzio bridgehead
Was held for the price
Of a few hundred ordinary lives.

And kind old King George
Sent Mother a note
When he heard that father was gone.
It was, I recall,
In the form of a scroll,
With gold leaf and all.
And I found it one day
In a drawer of old photographs, hidden away.
And my eyes still grow damp to remember
His Majesty signed
With his own rubber stamp.

It was dark all around.
There was frost in the ground
When the tigers broke free.
And no one survived
From the Royal Fusiliers Company C.
They were all left behind,
Most of them dead,
The rest of them dying.
And that's how the High Command
Took my daddy from me.

The sarcasm and bitterness is overwhelming. When Roger Waters wrote this lyric his pen must have scorched the paper and moved graves deep in Hell. :'(

You dont have to be a Floyd fan to be moved by this,an awesome piece of work.

Great minds think alike Caledonia I was just about to post the same link although the first time I ever heard it was at the end of a scintillating episode of The West Wing,took me hours to get to sleep after that
 
I see there has been a couple of mentions of Janis Joplin. The one that gets me is 'Ruby Tuesday', she put so much emotion into it, it makes me shiver.

Another one that does it for me is Dolly Parton with 'I will always love you'.
 
Crikes, been listening to the Gladiator soundtracks, by Hans Zimmer.

God, they're powerful through a pair of Sennheisers. Might have to get the soundtrack CD (Special edition) one and do some turbo training while listening to it.

Simply sends shivers right through me :notworthy:
