"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" (acoustic) - George Harrison 4. "Overrated" - Mika 5. "Alone in Kyoto" - Air 6. "Fair" - Remy Zero 7. "So Far Away" - Carole King 8. "Edelweiss" - Von Trapp Family 9. "Gravity" - Embrace 10. "The Saddest Christmas" - Some By Sea There's dozens more, but those are my top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormy Weather Posted June 22, 2007 Author Share Posted June 22, 2007 Ooooh! Great songs! Cartoonkellygreen - You must be a U2 fan! My husband is a huge U2 fan and we always have U2 playing around our place. Mary - Excuse my ignorance but could you tell me more about Jeff Buckley. I don't think I have ever heard of him. Emily - I can't say I know The Pouges either, fill me in pleezzzz... Sweetsister39 - Those are some really beautiful classics, I am thinking I should have made my list longer. Photojenny - I don't think I have heard the song Poison Oak but I am sure it is a real heart breaker if it makes you cry. Ghostsintheradio - Gosh "Edelweiss" takes me back. I just recently figured out that it is a kind of flower! Talk about Ignorant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there are more but that's all I can think of for now. Natalie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 The first song that comes to my mind is 'Honestly OK' by Dido. The lyrics still make me shiver. I think I can make a long long list of emotional songs that still touch me. But I have to find the time to sort it out. I'll keep this thread in mind.

Sara Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Cathedrals by Jump Little Children - my Mom loved that - it was played at her funeral. V emotional and always makes me cry. You raise me up - again, to do with my Mom. It was her song for my dad when she was dying. Over my shoulder - when i saw Mika sing that live in January, i was nearly in tears!

Mary Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Ooooh! Great songs! Mary - Excuse my ignorance but could you tell me more about Jeff Buckley. I don't think I have ever heard of him. Jeff Buckley was an american singer. He died in 1997. Only released an album while he was alive ("Grace"), but there are others released after his death. Here are some links to some of his most famous songs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5YmuS5zNzk --> Grace http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hRSHQjYH_A --> Lover, You Should've Come Over (Live) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsa_xWLOghg --> His version of "Hallelujah" Hope it helped! You can find lots of stuff about him on the internet! I can recommend you also "Forget Her", "Last Goodbye" and "Everybody Here Wants You". Fantastic songs!

ella Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 These are my favourites, but please note this is not a 1-2-3 order. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't make a 1-2-3 order list, because it depends so much on my most recent mood. Mika - Any other world Mika - Over my shoulder Queen - Show must go on Queen - Too much love will kill you Andrew Lloyd Webber (from The Phantom of the Opera) - Angel of music Andrew Lloyd Webber (from The Phantom of the Opera) - Wishing you were somehow here again/Wandering child Andrew Lloyd Webber (from The Phantom of the Opera) - Why have you brought me here?/Raoul I've been there! Apocaliptica - Nothing else matters (a just instrumental adaptation for the Metallica song) P.S.: Sorry for the slightly eclectic list, I just tried to be honest and gather everything, though it's impossible.
