Songs which bring an emotional reaction - Page 4

For years the song 'everything I own' as sung by the band Bread was just another song. I never listened to the words.
Then one day I was listening to the radio whilst driving and the song was discussed and it was written by David Gates as a tribute to his late father. At his fathers funeral, his uncle told him that although he hadn't seen his father for a while due to touring with the band, his father had said that he was very proud of him.

I carried on driving and they played the song and I listened to every word. I stopped at the next layby and sobbed. A few weeks earlier I'd lost my grandfather who I was very close to and miss every day.

'' I would give everything I own just to see you once again''

Nearly two years on I still can't listen to the song .

Only Tender Love .

By the Scottish band Deacon Blue.

Anyone who ever lost a long time love only to be saved by a long lost lover ( as I was ) will get the lyrics .

Also a great track.

I was at the funeral of a very close friend only last Saturday the wicker casket was carried out to One Day Like this by Elbow. Many tears shed and I cant get the song out of my head. Dave

At our good friend Tam Leeks funeral he was sent off with his fav song Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd .

Never seen so many tears at a funeral and most of them were mine .

He is fixing cars in heaven .

Various songs strike various emotional responses with me, but the one that always bring a lump to my throat is, The British Soldier, by Harvey Andrews. Based on an actual event, where Sergeant Michael WILLETTS GC, shielded others using his body, after a bomb was thrown into a police station he was in.

'Cascada, Every time we touch' always seems to make me stop and reflect for some reason.

Mike and the mechanics,

My mam had that song played at my dad's funeral so it has sad memories for me too.
