Songs that make you cry.

A song that always makes me think, not just about a wife or girlfriend, but about everyone who is important to you, we all assume that we'll see each other tomorrow, but one day we won't, I first became aware of death properly when I was about 15 and my best mate died, We'd had deaths before, an uncle, my grandfather, but somehow they didn't hit home the same, maybe I was too young when they died for it to sink in, but when my best mate died it was different.
We met in high school and did everything together, got drunk, chased girls, we even had a weekend job together, then one weekend I went on holiday with my parents and when I came back I got told he'd died in an accident, it was awful, I'd lost my best mate.
I learned then what it meant to lose someone, I never go to sleep on an argument, If my wife and I have a fall out we always make up before we go to sleep, one of our friends had a stupid argument with her husband and he died in his sleep, it hurt her a lot and she never got over it.

 

This is a bit sad ! (in many ways )

 

One of my all-time favourites also.

 

I first heard this song in my GCSE drama class when doing a piece on victimisation and prejudice and we all sat on the floor refusing to move. Always makes me think of that.

 

When I was just a child of 12 or 13 years old I watched the 1981 movie "Gallipoli" with Mel Gibson.

At the very end of the movie his best friend had to run towards machine guns against the Turks. As fast as his friend ran I thought he was going to make it across.

To my sad surprise he didn't make it across. I cried listening to the fade to black ending credits song by Tomaso Albinoni called Adagio In G Minor.

To this day when I hear this song played, my heart saddness goes to the ending when his friend got shot and how I exactly felt almost 35 years ago.

I really loved this movie and all the characters played in the Australian Imperial Force.

 

Whenever I listen to Sting's "My one in only Love" I think of Misty and get a little teary

Might as well listen and get a little teary now.

 

I can't stand listening to one note of Roberta Flack's "First time ever i saw your face"

I think of the ASPCA cruelty to animals commercials. They used this song in one of them. I get so sad, it can effect me all day remembering the words.

 

Survivor - “The Search is Over”

 

Turkish Song

 

The song is in Hijaz Maqam.

I've been listening to this piece since yesterday. I wanna drink to death listening to this piece.

 

Ahh, ahh - naughty !!! - leave the booze alone - you're supposed to be on 'the wagon' !!!

 

This sad song is about that !
