The following always make me cry like a baby. 

Played at my best friend's funeral  and reminds me of when  lived in Leith. 

Last place I lived before leaving the UK was Leith. Mind you I object to football hooligans stealing good songs ????

Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight.

Wifey passed away 5 years ago, but this was our song.

It's always a sad moment when a loved one passes away. I would say my condolences but would prefer you to look into a

, hopefully, bright future.

Another troubled soul. Another sad early death.  They can play this at my funeral.

 

 

2 songs:

1] Amazing Grace by Alan Jackson, played at my fathers funeral.... my best mate loved this song.

2] In the arms of the Angels, Sarah McLachlan... for lost friends in the Falklands.

Daniel by Elton John 

My brother was a huge Elton fan and when he died in 1981 , aged 22, my parents used to play his albums . My mother said she felt like he was back in the family home. Whenever Daniel would start to play my mother, and father, would always shed a few tears.

 

 

It’s a mixture of the lyrics, my brothers memory and the memory of my parents struggling to hold back their emotions every time they heard this brings a tear to my eyes.

 

Johhny & June singing Jackson.

Seen them perform it live in Berlin and it breaks me up every time I hear it knowing that I will never see them performing it live again.

 

 

 

 

 

So, this thread got me thinking a bit about music from my past and I remembered this band. Not everyone's cup of tea, granted, but I had some dark night listening songs like these two and these songs in particular. Nights that basically convinced me that better times lay elsewhere.

 

There will always be music that will make me stop what im doing and remember good and bad. I recommend these for late nights with a large whiskey.

Anything by The Carpenters. Karen had such a wonderful voice and what a tragedy to lose her so young.

Couldn't stand Meatloaf when he made Rocky Horror, but he grew on me till I became a big fan.
