Songs which bring an emotional reaction

thomas 75 connie · 16th June 2014, 13:43

As above i know we have alot of song threads and i really hope this one is different enough.

What i am asking is what songs give you an emotional reaction.

Doesnt need to be a sad song just some that bring back memories etc.

Here are a few of mine
CHI MAI-Ennio Morricone
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbdPUiih020

This song reminds me of my nan who i lost when i was only 5 years old but we had her record player and that was the record in there.
Acker Bilk Aria

I dont know when i first heard this song but it makes me nearly cry listening to it.
The congregation-Softly whispering i love you
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iffACmIoi30

Another one that makes me nearly cry the man is normally a backing singer but listen to him in this.
Jim Diamond-I should have known better

This one is never played enough in my eyes beautiful song and again a tear jerker for me.

So this is my quick selection and not very apt for a 27 year old but i like it

If I had words by Evan Keeley?and I won't let you down by Jim Diamond.

Vangelis, theme from COSMOS with Carl Sagan, me and my dad shared a love of the series and the music, played it at his funeral while asking people to think of him over the years. Cant listen now without welling up...

I know it is not a song; Mahler Symphony No. 5 in C Sharp Minor Adagietto is a powerful piece of music nonetheless!

Hi thomas'
This song is when I was courting the wife(courting thats a quant word now days)
Would always put on the juke box in 1962.
Still call this our song and still have the 45 record to this day.
