DiceSociety Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 This one for me for some reason: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fwOTDaO4bg A bit cheesy, and is always better if you don't look at him singing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Valdemar Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 The first time I heard this I was absolutely howling. Very much a cathartic thing though, I had a lot bottled up at the time and for some reason this beautiful little song activated the release valve. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzniwnjXFws This one is the soundtrack to a special part of my life - it reminds me of a special person from years ago, and an aching teenage love that could never have been. Still find it difficult to listen to now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aMX8xURgjg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyguts Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I don't do much blubbing but these give pause for thought. I've Been Loving You Too Long - massive vocal from Otis Redding There was a tv programme a few years ago called F1 The Killer Years, they played Put a Candle In The Window by CCR over the end credits - it didn't help lighten the mood.

sharkboy Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 [quote name='UglyDog' timestamp='1458230135' post='3005816'] The other one is Elgar's "Nimrod" from the Enigma Variations -- I have no idea why this chokes me up, but it just does. The crescendo at the end, gets me every time without fail. [/quote] As beautiful as Nimrod is, it's actually another piece by Elgar that does it for me - Sospiri (op70). It is, simply put, 5 minutes of sublime beauty in aural form. Deeply moving and ultimately uplifting, you need to hear this if you haven't already: https://youtu.be/YI1I1EHSVhA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonky2 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) Cats in the cradle too, same sentiment really, makes me dwell on being either at work or ill and tired and badically not giving my boys all they deserve.... Think the songs fairly mediocre and not by any means a track i rate, but the lyrics, the concept haunts me..... What does cheer me up no end, at high volume, again same reasons is reeling in the years by steely dan, fantastic tune.

CHW Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I've gotten used to it now, but for a good few years Martin Simpson's Never any good, never failed to bring a tear to my eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameronj279 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 There has only ever been one band to even come close to bringing a tear to my eye and it is Agent Fresco (who succeeded). I saw them play 2 sets at Tech-fest last year and both sets had me -and just about everybody else- blubbing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBskH2KkD-o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 [quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1458237771' post='3005925'] Bonnie Raitt "I can't Make You Love Me"...Absolute Class. [/quote] Oh god, how I recall first hearing that song. I was nursing a broken heart after recently being dumped by a lady I adored, and then this damn song came on the radio and pressed every single button. I recall crying so hard that it physically hurt. [quote]Don't make me blub, but a very moving tune from Luther Vandross "Dance With My Father". [/quote] I've always found this moving, but since losing my dad last year I simply cannot bear to listen to it. In a similar vein to Waltzing Matilda, there's this. Shores of Normandy by Jim Radford. The song starts at 1:30ish. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsVQMfxIfks[/media] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
