Songs that make you blub/cry.

[Richard A Thackeray]

Sometimes, Steve gets to me, with this song
(from a wonderful CD; 'The Mountain')

Just one of the comments
Another of those song, you just can't get out of the system again.....Steve Earle is just a great singer/songwriter. Emmilou put on a gentle touch of spices, and Del McCoury Band wraps it in, in the finest giftpaper. You know when you're in good company.

For sad songs though, this one (especially with the video) is hard to get through without a sniffle or five.

Browsing through some of my music files I came on Lena Martell and Make the World Go Away seems to suit my mood.
I once met her in Helensburgh many years ago before she became a big name. I was sorting my paper round deliveries and she came into the shop just after 0600. She had toothache and could not sleep so had come out for a walk. She was singing at a gig in Glasgow apparently. Seemed a nice girl but she had problems later in life which she overcame eventually.

This one always 'gets' me, a true story of how Jackie's girlfriend ran off with one of the Dalai Lama's bodyguards.

Warning NSFW, very sweary.

Being a huge Brian Wilson fan, In My Room does it for me.
Several Country singers were asked to sing his songs for an album. Tammy Wynette sang it (her last ever recording) To see Brian's pain in the booth some 40 years after writing it cracks me up every time.

There’s some seriously great music here, slowly making my way through and there are many to follow up on. Many I would usually not give a thought to, thanks to everyone posting on here and opening my ears to new musicians.

Annie's song by John denver

I hear this and remember my dad singing in the shower. It makes me remember him as the man he was, not the shell that cancer made him.

I’m drinking rum and getting drunk. I may be posting some songs later. 😭

It's the words, "I turned to look, but it was gone, The dream had gone, the child had grown". Gets me every time.

My favourite guitar solo, pure emotion.

Thanks for posting this, I am singing along with a glass of Jack.
