Hi there,

wondered which songs touch people so much that the tears well up, or you get that tingle up and down the spine. Or songs that relate to certain times in their lives/ or relationships..............i'm sure everyone has them????

for me Gabrielles song Out of Reach starts me off....if it comes on the radio i have to either switch off or walk out of the room. Reminds me of a relationship that went sour 6 years ago. The woman concerned left me and i haven't seen her since...............4_9_9.gif

Northern-wise for me as follows..........

..................... You Satisfy my Needs-Dee Irwin

No Rest For the Worried-Clarence Williams

Hey You-Montclairs

Showstopper-Cashmeres

Hurt So Bad/Call Me The Joker-Little Annthony and Imperials

I Do Love You-Billy Stewart

Number Onederful-Jay and Techniques

Carl :thumbsup:

... the Christmas carol "Silent Night", sung by anyone at all, and also "Lullaby Of Broadway" from the movie "Gold Diggers Of 1933" (or maybe '32 - anyway, it's sung by Winifred Shaw and I always well up when the tap dancing bit comes in halfway through. These two songs easily reduce me to a blubbering heap, and I have had to flee crowded rooms before now at Christmastime when "S. Night" is sung on any TV programme, just to keep my emotions in check...

I'm not making this up - I've been this way for years about both things. Why they turn on my waterworks in this way and - much as I adore it - "The Dark End Of the Street" doesn't is something that shall, I guess, forever remain a secret between me and my tear ducts...

...I guess I'm just a sentimental old Hector, really.

Stevie Wonder's version of I Hear a Symphony. I get goosebumps every time I play it. The first time I played it I thought "here we go with an inferior version of The Supremes and the Isleys"....

Bloody hell!! I actually had to wipe tears from my eyes as I listened to it. Funny thing is my wife, who when I asked her to listen to it with the head phones, said exactly what I'd been thinking, and she loved it as much as I did!

My niece, who wouldn't know a soul record from a dirty nappy, actually used this for the bride and grooms first dance after hearing it just once at our house.

On the northern side it has to be Love Love Love by Bobby Hebb. Sheer perfection.

For me it's Jimmy Bo Horne - If you want my love. Always reminds me of Morcambe pier around 1983 (i think) and an intense and emotional relationship i was having at the time, not helped by large quantities of paranoia inducing amphetamine :thumbsup:

Takes me back every time i hear it.

I did actually blubber whilst singing along to George Jacksons 'I don't have the time to love you' in a bar during one of my Falkland stints - lyrics were too poignant when your along way from home. :thumbsup:

Also shed quite a few tears at the first Cleethorpes weekender, whilst dancing and singing away to Ruby Winters 'Better'. Them lyrics always crack me up

Think I must be a hard faced bitch, as i can't think of a single track that's made me cry :thumbsup:

Even when I was going through my "mental health statistic" phase, it wasn't tunes, even really sad ones, that made me cry. :wicked:

Don't get me wrong, I'm quite adept at blubbing, but mostly soul tunes make me smile :yes:

For me its the following:

Irma Thomas " anyone who knows what love is ( will understand). I first heard this on Dave godin`s " deep soul treasures" & it just blew me away.

Dorothy Moore "misty blue" never understood why this lady was never a super star of soul............ what a voice.

Willie nelson " angels flying to close to the ground" . Allways reminds me of my late father

Anything by Merle Haggard.............. see above.
