Eva Cassidy – Fields of Gold

Played at my good friends brothers funeral. He was 25 and killed in a motorcycle accident. Wasn’t a dry eye in the place, RIP Ryan.

My Old Man – Ian Dury and the Blockheads sublimely touching

Cliched, probably, but it means a hell of a lot to me.

Bit of classical class esp. for CFH.

Thank you singletrackmind. What a fabulous piece of music, so good I downloaded the album

Friends – The Beatles , the Wet Wet Wet version doesn’t do it though.

As with many of the above it’s a funeral song , a really good mate who was killed in a motorbike accident when I was 17. He was just about the only person I’ve ever met in my life that had no enemies ,the crematorium had a crowd stood outside as there wasn’t room inside for everybody.

Adele – Set Fire to the Rain

Flowers of the forest

This does it for me…

Theme from Black Hawk Down

The state I am in by Belle and Sebastian gets me going plus time to kill by mr Cash as these got played quite a bit when a good friend had cancer.

“My immortal” by Evanescence.

“Ava Maria” version by Aaron Neville.

ah tutti contenti from the marraige of figaro
fields of gold by eva cassidy

A lot of Richard Thompson stuff bring a tear to my eye…’How Will I Ever be Simple Again’ being one.

However ‘Sunset’ when played by the Royal Marines gets me every single time I hear it.

Daddy Sang Bass – Johnny Cash. Reminds me of my fantastic late grandparents.
Paradise – Richard Ashcroft. Makes me think about the birth of my daughter.
Going to get some stick for this one but… Unknown Caller by U2. The line in there saying “Shout for joy – if you get the chance!” I always think of my miracle twin boys – who shouldn’t be here, but for whom each day is a chance for happiness…

wednesday week by the undertones.

was played at my aunt’s funeral, she was very loved and died way too young. not a dry eye in the place.

Follow you, follow me, Genesis (from “And then there were three”)

I’m not blubbing for anyone but Two Little Boys it has to be. I was about 4 when it came out and anyone who had a brother at that time,the song was written just for them.
Also God Save The Queen , Advance Australia Fair and Waltzing Matilda. Waltzing Matilda is a strong contender at my funeral. A whole new thread waiting to be done.

A Sorta Fairytale by Tori Amos, particularly because I first listened to it on the day of the funeral of my brother’s partner:

there are a frew more, but these get me everytime..

Tom Wait’s Martha has already been mentioned but is crushingly beautiful as is Loudon Wainwright’s A Pretty Good Day, Jonny Cash’s cover of Hurt also

Hurt – Johnny Cash
Tired of you _ Foo Fighters
At your funeral – Saves The Day.

Currently the unprintable ****ed Up, with One More Night. There’s just something about a furious 300 lb man bellowing a love song that’s strangely irresistable. Maybe it’s because it takes some effort to decipher the lyrics.

“Always somewhere” by the Scorpions

sad pathetic memories of splitting with my first girlfriend

Two Little Boys always gets me too!

Johnny Cash – Hurt, for reasons I can’t talk about on here.

Guns N Roses – Patience.

Tracy Chapman – Baby Can I Hold You.

Extreme – More Than Words.

Black Sabbath – Changes.

To name a few.

A lot has been going on in my life of late, but all is good now

Just heard this on the Folk Awards show, powerful stuff…

Cavalleria Rusticana,Intermezzo by Mascagne, played at mother in laws funeral. Didn’t even really like her. For the unwashed among you it’s in Raging Bull.
Singletrackmind, lovely bit of Puccini.

Natalie Merchant, My Beloved Wife

The bit in the film “She’s having a baby” always gets me…

[video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NRdA0ST4Zg[/video]

I fell for this one the first time I heard it on The Mentalist – Peter Bradley Adams – Darkening Sky

I was sort of half joking with 2 little boys earlier (though it sure is bit of a spine tingled at times) but thinking about it Rolf seems to have bit of a tallent with emotional songs. I first saw this one Christmas eve round my man’s house when I was a kid. She sadly died late last year and this thread popping up and seeing her house go on the market today made me remeber this song.

Dam you Rolf you nearly got me this time!

The old boy croaked just after Rolf shuts the door at the end in the film!

The song at the end of Gladiator.

Cloud of Unknowing by the Gorillaz.
