oh and Burial - Etched Headplate (well, most of Burial really)

Bonnie - Prefab Sprout
The Cure - Just Like HeavenPosted 2 years ago # -
Many, many, many...
Some that always get the emotions running include:
Red Hill Mining Town - U2. Best, but often overlooked, track on a very well known album.
And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda - version by The Pogues on Rum, Sodomy and the Lash.
Oh, and..
The Welsh National Anthem - and I'm English. First time I heard it live at the old Cardiff Arms Park made all the hairs on the back of my neck stand up! And we've got God Save the Queen FFS!
Er, No - God Save the Queen is the BRITISH National Anthem. As far as I know there is no English national anthem...
although Mae Hen Wlad Fy Naddau is certainly stirring stuff

2nd Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb, its stunning in its bleakness
New Order- True Faith (it reminds me of dancing at De Villes in Manchester with me old pal johnny Scoles and trapping off with a girl from Miles Platting)
Sting - Fields of Gold, played at the funeral of my brother Allan (it was his song)

Unfinished Sympathy - still knocks me for six.

Mine - with reasons...
The Verve: Drugs Don't Work/Bittersweet Symphony as my wife (then GF) had just gone to America working a summer camp and I felt alone and they summed up (melodically, if not through specific words) how I felt inside.
Pink Floyd: Sine on you Crazy Diamond as my dad chose it to be played at his funeral back in January.
And anything by Status Quo as I had just been to see them with my mum and dad last December a few weeks before he died.
Finally (and less maudlin) anything off the 'Diary of a Madman' album by Ozzy as that was when I felt at my most vital - 16 years old, getting my own identity, spending hour after hour listening to music in my room.

Teardrop - good call khegs. Shame it was ruined by some idiot covering it.
Big one for me is Clapton's Tears in Heaven. Can't stand Clapton but a classical guitarist played it at my wedding and it makes me go all funny.

Damn, there's so many. Someone mentioned Kate Rusby's My Young Man, but there's several of hers, particularly Underneath The Stars, when the brass band comes in, where I go tingly all over. Elbow just never fail, Starlings, Newborn, Fugitive Motel, One Day Like This, all make me come over all unnessessary. Emmylou Harris' Prayer In Open D can move me to tears, and U2's Where The Streets Have No Name is a guaranteed spine-tingler, always reminds me of playing it at high volume on the way to Cardiff to see them at the Arms Park.

From an ardent metal-head, one of those cathartic songs (we've all got them). Had it played recently at a cripplingly emotional cremation; means a lot for myself & the other half - she held up way better than me..
Full of Grace - Sarah McLachlan
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3sjSnhZJk0Wish I knew how to make it so you click on the song title - can anyone enlighten me? Not that keen on the video images, but the song keeps its power..
