I want people to name their favourite song the one that gets in through rough times and good times the one that they can turn to and sing like nobody is listening and bring a tear to their eye

Sorry didn’t really know where to put this on so I’ve put it in the Scotland chart

Looking forward to hearing your responses

PERTH

Can't narrow it down to just one, but:

These Times by SafetySuit - listen to it a lot during difficult times and it really gets me, the video is amazing too

Heal Over by KT Tunstall - listened to it extensively when my marriage broke up. Saw her live a few months ago and when she played this I was in bits

When The Fog Rolls In by Train - could have been written about a breakup I went through

Missing by City and Colour - the lyrics were read as a poem at a friend's funeral and a bit of it is engraved on his headstone

Amazing track, love when they do the live version with a full orchestra, my favourite female singer does a cracking cover of it too, an American singer called Lissie I’d youve not heard it you really should!
