Prefer the 'Otway' version

I'm a big crier at a variety of things - TV, films, funerals, very rarely books - but for some reason music doesn't really get me quite that way.
I do often get a really .. visceral reaction, sort of spine-tingling; but rarely wet eyes. I think this is the closest I get to crying:

[ What's the music video with a hospital bed, and a dancer made of string/rope next to the bed, unravelling skywards. I can't flippin remember the artist/title, but I'm getting all peculiar thinking about it! ]

By coincidence I watched Watership Down last night, best rabbit film ever.

Watership Down......You've read the book, seen the film, now eat the pie!

I've met Richard Adams too, part of a school trip in the early 1990s.

Try it by 'The Petersons'
Sang as a kind of cross between Gospel & Bluegrass

Sorry, thinking of the wrong band

The Petersons do some splendid covers though, eg; Here Comes The Sun, Kiss Me (Sixpence None The Richer)

I hadn't looked TBH. Feet haven't touched the ground on CC. So many posts, so little time. But i'll have a listen.

If you want a real classic about the impact that loss can have on one then this wins hands down:

Charlie Drake did an adult panto* with Jim Davidson in the 90's (95 I think), if you thought Jim was crude and offensive you ain't seen nothing Charlie Drake makes him look like a lefty choirboy

Two Little Boys by Rolf used to be a bit of a weepy, but isn’t the same now.

This is a none Rolf version.

It's really upsetting me just from the thumbnail (but in a nice way).

There is also a real knife-blow

Spoiler: comment on it

My daughter chose to have this song and video played at her funeral 6 years ago. She was 19 when she died…cancer. Our last moments together were exactly this. Even more weirdly our family business was working with wool so we really felt that this video was made for us. I miss her so badly x

😭
