Ever had a piece of music make you cry?

I've cried to music but rarely had something move me to tears, if that makes sense. i.e. Crying while listening to music after the death of a loved one/horrible break up...

But only once, that I can recall, had something touch me that I cried. It was actually during a DJ/live performance and I was sober too. But it was such an emotional moment, I'll never forget it. The setting was beautiful, I was with the one I loved (at the time) and some lovely people, and the whole thing just overwhelmed me to the point of tears of joy.

Will you still love me tomorrow - Amy Winehouse.

Funeral song for a school friend who died of a brain tumour (early 20s). The room was so full we were standing shoulder to shoulder. Time stands still when I hear it.

Yep. I'm a right weepie fucknugget.

Seeing Black Stone Cherry a few years ago, they played "the rambler" and I didn't even feel like I was crying as such yet my eyes were leaking.

Disturbed - sound of silence. That one gets me.

Kate Nash - nicest thing. Used to get me because that's how I felt about someone. Now it gets me because I'm angry and frustrated at myself for feeling that way and being such a fucking dumbass in the first place.

Panatonix - Hallelujah. It's just beautiful

Sugarland - Stay. Again, finding the strength when I found out my ex hadn't been honest with me about his home life, and wasn't separated at all.

There are loads more, loads.

Ocean by John Butler Trio a few years ago at Rock City. It just hit me in a wave of emotion.

Bruce Springsteen's monologue at the beginning of The River on the Live:1975-1985 album often gets me too as it reminds me of my relationship with my father.

"The Schindler's List violin theme music."

Only seen that film once when it first came out. I remember walking out of the cinema in Central London into a busy shopping centre and being struck by the absolute grim silence from the crowd coming out around me set against the hustle and bustle of London on a Saturday afternoon. It was a surreal experience and in my mind I picture us cinema goers in black and white slowly dispersing into the coloured noisy crowd, funny how memories get twisted and reshaped to fit a mental narrative. I was 15 and that music is haunting to this day.

There are two other pieces of music that I find very moving, Shostakovitch Piano Concerto 2 2nd moment and the 1st movement of Mozarts Concerto for Flute and Harp. Sadly the part of this latter that I find most heart stoppingly pure is part of a Cadenza that is rarely performed but happened to be on the cassette (!) recording I learnt to love

There’s several songs which get me.

Mine and my dads song has always been Stevie wonder - isn’t she lovely. He had a devastating stroke in 2017 and hasn’t been the same since. He’s in a nursing home so it holds a special place in my heart, he ran pubs before he had his stroke and I played it on the jukebox and we both wept.

It was probably the best day we ever had at Glastonbury.

We saw:

An Australian tribute to a Swedish pop group (Bjorn Again)

A Japanese psych-rock band (Acid Mothers Temple)

An Australian punk band (Amyl and the Sniffers)

An English punk band (IDLES)

A Welsh death metal band (Venom Prison)

I've never been emotional (to the point I think I'm weird), but since I split with my ex I can't listen to "Said it all" by Take That. It was on in the car at the end of our relationship and it's the futility of knowing we had nothing left to say and that it was inevitable that I was going to loose my family unit (I wasnt particularly bothered about losing my ex herself). Mental. The only other song I have ever cried at was Aaron Neville singing "Ave Maria" which comes on at the credits to the film "Alive", which was about a plane crash into a mountain, where they were all from an American football team, and some of the survivors ended up having to eat the their dead friends and loved ones to survive, so it's very emotional!!

Fair enough, but the book is still better than the film overall

I was listening to the Beatles White Album once when Blackbird came on...and I had to stop myself bursting into tears (was in public) Strange, as I knew the song really well but for some reason it's beauty just hit me anew at that moment

Missin’ Yo’ Kissin’

I hardly ever cry. Not cos I'm a hard bastard either. Not cos I wasn't loved - cos I was!

I'm sure if they put "Little House On The Prairie" on I'd get close to welling up.

Tommy Docherty always used to say about hard footballers he signed that if they put that program on & they did not cry, he new they were hard as nails!

Songs that make me sad will have to do instead:-

Six A.M - "Skin"

Linkin Park - "One More Light"

Nine Inch Nails/Trent Reznor - "Hurt"

Uriah Heep - "Rain"

Magnum - "Les Mort Dansant"

"Oh my.

Ludivico Einaurdi I Giorni. One of my favourite pieces of music, my son sent me a video of him playing it, he lives in Edinburgh and I was missing him like crazy at the time

Dakota Stereophonics, went to see them live and they played it right at the end. Always reminds me of my son, he used to play it on loop. So to be stood there with him was very emotional.

Have a listen to Experience by Ludivico, it on the 'In a Time Lapse' album, my favourite piece of music ever!

Supermarket flowers by Ed Sheran, it was played at my nans funeral and a lot of the song sums up my Nan, that was over 2 years ago and to this day it still brings a tear to my eye. I don't like Ed Sheran's music, really not my cup of tea but this song really touched a nerve.

I'm a right softy. Since I had kids I seem to blub ten times more than before.

Songs that make me get dusty-eyed include:

This woman's work - Kate Bush

Into dust - mazzy star

Time - Hans Zimmer

Roar - Katy Perry (personal reasons for that one)

Winter - Tori Amos

Something I can never have - nine inch nails

Even if they don't have the same effect on everyone, these are great songs. Check them out

I knew my daughter had a keyboard in her room and tinkered away at a few tunes but despite offering her some lessons she declined saying she wasn't that into it.

Then she turned up at a school concert doing Roberta Flack's "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" and it knocked me for six it was honestly so beautiful. I've never been so floored. Half the audience were blubbing uncontrollably as well.

The commitments - try a little tenderness, it always gets me, not sure why but ai usually sing it after a few wines.

Lily Allen - somewhere only we know, played as I walked down the isle to marry Mr P )both blubbering wrecks that day)

Snow patrol - open your eyes

ELO - Mr blue sky, also played at our wedding as our walking back down the isle song but it makes me think of my old dad, he always told me I was born in the wrong era because of the music i'm into and my style. Happy tears though

Most disney songs set me off too

Cantata Memoria for the Children - Karl Jenkins.

This was written to commemorate the Aberfan tragedy of 1966

Symphony No 3 - Henryk Gorecki.

This was written to remember the suffering of the Polish people at the hands of the Nazi's during WW2

"Yep. I'm a right weepie fucknugget.

Seeing Black Stone Cherry a few years ago, they played "the rambler" and I didn't even feel like I was crying as such yet my eyes were leaking.

Disturbed - sound of silence. That one gets me.

Kate Nash - nicest thing. Used to get me because that's how I felt about someone. Now it gets me because I'm angry and frustrated at myself for feeling that way and being such a fucking dumbass in the first place.

Panatonix - Hallelujah. It's just beautiful

Sugarland - Stay. Again, finding the strength when I found out my ex hadn't been honest with me about his home life, and wasn't separated at all.

There are loads more, loads."
