I suppose that wanting to destroy the radio anytime I hear something by the vapid creature that is Taylor Swift could be called 'getting emotional'

The Night We Met by Lord Huron. It's on my Spotify playlist. I should remove it.

Heard that earlier today and just broke down crying, mainly because I heard something an hour earlier that really fucking devastated me. Again.

Most recent to get me weepy; Old Tyge; a song about a guy's dog.

My usual weepies;

Father and Son by Cat Stevens first sung to me by Princess before I had seen GOTG volume 2 and been educated in music.

Those were the Days by Mary Hopkins and Mull of Kintyre and anything by Nana Mouskuri as the first two were played at my Gramps' funeral as his total favourites and Nana Mouskuri was his favourite singer so was often belting out in the background when used to go visit him as a kid.

We all take different meanings from songs, I went to Nashville for my 40th, I was lucky enough to meet a brilliant songwriter called Lori McKenna, one of her songs is called “ Ladders and Parachutes” , she told me why she wrote the song, always pulls at my heart strings.

Think it’s impossible not to moved by Nimrod. "

As a musician who frequently plays it for funerals I can agree there! I’ve played it for two funerals just in the last fortnight and it’s always hard to focus when it’s such a powerful piece. The American equivalent is the Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber, frequently performed after 9/11. Again, very hard to play without welling up!

If you really want powerful music to move you which you may not yet know go to the famous Requiems - by Verdi, Mozart, Rutter, Faure and, least known to most people but most loved by musicians, the one by Maurice Durufle. Literally music to die for!

Ok, now let’s get serious with the depressing and tear-jerking stuff! In no particular order, four absolutely unbelievably painful masterpieces of the last century:

1) Penderecki - Threnody to the victims of Hiroshima. This is no hack off-the-shelf horror music. He pushes the orchestra to its absolute technical limits to achieve mind-altering effects. https://youtu.be/Pu371CDZ0ws

2) Shostakovich - Slow movement of his 2nd piano trio. If you’ve read Solzhenitsyn or haven’t, if you want to feel the depression of living under Stalin’s brutal regime, or understand Soviet Cold War Russia, this is for you! https://youtu.be/DsVTDhJh8nM STARTING AT 12:16.

3) Messiaen - Les Ténèbres from Livre du Saint Sacrement depicting in sound the moment of Jesus’s death and the resulting darkness and chaos. It’s the bluprint for every hack composer of horror film music since! Every note is crafted. Sorry this isn’t a live video but this is one of the finest recordings out there. Listen in a darkened room with a candle or two and turn the volume up full! https://youtu.be/sbm0vBdjGdQ

Finally, Messiaen again - his Quatuor pour le fin de temps or Quartet for the end of time was written while in a Nazi concentration camp for the few available musicians and instruments. In places, beautifully joyous but more often, gut-wrenchingly painful. Shut your eyes and let this disturbing music wash over you and transport you to the world of Nazi oppression we thankfully were all saved from. Set aside the 50 mins to listen to the whole in one go uninterrupted. You’ll probably be a different person at the end, I slmost guarantee! https://youtu.be/QAQmZvxVffY

Government health warning: Some music may be bad for your health!

To joofsussex, the dj tiesto did a version of adagio for strings. Very well done as well it is. Doesn't make me emotional, unlike Otis Reading, sitting on the dock of the bay. Was at Southampton waiting for isle of wight ferry, and it came to me. Very teary.

Thanks - yep, it’s not my kinda music but I can see how he’s treated it and how well it works for its genre. I agree it’s certainly not emotional in that remix, and hell, Otis Reading is in another class altogether! Sitting in the dock of the bay - That’s a special song with some great musicians! Full of meaning and superb musicianship! Definitely goosebump music!

Linderman. home sweet home.

Born in the breath of a vicious sea

The beast came with the rain

Fallen upon your milky skin

A cunning drop crawled in your vein

Never ever got prepared

So shaken, helpless and so scarred

Search the needle in your hair

Gone bald there's nothing there

Home sweet home

Inside you, eating your bones

Home sweet home

Eyes on fire lips in foam

And it's called the cold

It's caught inside you

And it eats it eats and grows

Inside you and it never goes

And it never goes

Two more days the end's in sight

Tumor days so deep inside

So distressing and very violent

And it kills it kills so slow and silent

Never ever got prepared

So shaken, helpless and so scarred

Search the needle in your hair

Gone bald there's nothing there

And nothing there

Home sweet home

Inside you, eating your bones

Home sweet home

Eyes on fire lips in foam

And it's called the cold is cold

It's caught inside you

And it eats it eats and grows

Inside you and it never goes

And it never goes

They used this in The Full Monty Ladies Night earlier this year. My cousin at the time was battling breast cancer. This song floored me then. She passed away a month later aged 42. This song breaks my heart every time without fail now

"Linkin park one more light "

I second this. It never fully sinks in that Chester's gone, so every time I hear one of their songs it hits me again, and this song almost always has me in tears.

Linking park's music has helped me through some tough times and helped me process my feelings better than anything else. Another beautiful soul gone far too soon.

I have a tribute to linkin park CD, but I've been unable to listen to my Google play version of any linkin park tracks, apart from a special one called Numb. It means a lot to me, does Numb, as the lyrics are so appropriate for me of being myself as a trans girl that has to deal with other peoples shit being thrown at me.

Since one or two hymns are already on the list I’ll just chuck in one for an upcoming funeral - The day Thou gavest, Lord, is ended. One slow, slushy Victorian hymn to tug on the heartstrings.

Twas sung at the end of every academic year at my school to get all the leavers in floods of tears! Worked a treat every time!

Somewhere nearby

Red by Daniel Merriweather made me cry today

No sympathy

When shouting out is all you know

Behind your lies

I can see the secrets you don't show

You took something perfect

And painted it red

You take the best things from me

Then everything gets empty

That's not a world that I need

These lines in particular
