song that make you get 'something in your eye'

@jonnyurq - A few years ago, I worked the bar for a small acoustic Hazel O'Connor gig. She played a few songs and told stories about the punk years. She was fantastic, and extremely nice. She even gave a little shout out to the bloke behind the bar who was clearly getting into it.

Lucky bugger, I never got to meet her but saw her in her heyday when supporting the Stranglers (her and Hugh were smack fiends and shagging).

Huge Stranglers, Hazel O'Connor and Breaking Glass fan.

I've still got the CD somewhere that she signed for me after the gig.

ROOG

Queen - Who wants to live forever

Bucket

I've never actually cried over a song IIRC, but some that give me "dem feels":

Dire Straits - Tunnel of Love

Dream Theater - Space Dye Vest

Queen - We Will Rock You, We Are the Champions and Bohemian Rhapsody, but more for some still-very-powerful memories associated with them than the songs themselves.

Type O Negative - Everything Dies

axisus

No one here will know this one. A fantastic piano piece called 'song for josiah' by Keith green, written for his young son. They both died in a plane crash that Keith was piloting. He was a Christian artist and a very emotional singer.

Kebabkid

Stop this train - John Mayer
Shadow days - John Mayer
Where were you - Jeff Beck
Clair de lune
Remedy - Black Crowes (dunno why)
Good Will Hunting soundtrack - Elliot Smith
Letter from home - Pat Metheny -

I'm sure there are others but I'm now too sad to think of them..

RIckie Lee Jones: My Funny Valentine...



and 'Company' from her  debut album:

Good call and RLJ's 'Pop Pop" album is another goodie. She has so much emotion in her voice and there's some wonderful jazz-guitar playing on a gut strung by Robben Ford.

Eva Cassidy singing "Over the Rainbow" and "Fields of Gold"

I can't even listen to either of these anymore, honestly.  Ordinarily I do not like cover versions but these two are incredible.
