It must be done it must be done.

out of the window he popped his bum.

Horatio Nelson Passing bye

Smelt the perfume through the sky

Crash bang wallop

Down came a dollop

And hit poor Nelson in the eye!          .................Coat Please!

Pretty much anything by the Cocteaus, but Those Eyes, That Mouth and Pandora in particular, (well played, RPR!).

I can't listen to TMC versions of Song to the Siren and Another Day without blubbing.

What else?

Broken- Teenage Fanclub

I Am The Cosmos- Chris Bell

Atmosphere- Joy Division

It's just the part where he closes the piano lid and runs his hand along it, as if to say "That's it. I'm done now."

I have mixed feeling about that one. His voice suits the song incredibly but they took out the most distinctive interval in the song which somewhat ruins it musically for me. I slight tweak to the guitar part and that would have been perfection.

Sounds a bit pretentious to say it, but tchaikovsky's 6th symphony (I think the 4th movement?) is desperately heart-rendingly sad. He suffered from depression a lot, and it really comes out in that piece.

For me 'Both Sides Now' when sung by people other than Joni Mitchell

My pretentious ones would be 'When I am laid in earth' (aka Dido's Lament) from Dido and Aeneas by Handel, and 'In Paradisum' from Durufle's requiem

viz

Queen - the show must go on

Need your love so bad - Fleetwood Mac

Peter Green on top form.

Redemption Song - Joe Strummer.

My hero. Gone but not forgotten.

There is plenty of classical music that moves me.  Neither of these pieces make me sad but they do make me feel emotional.  Just such power and beauty, incredible stuff, to me anyway.

Sometimes Barber's Adagio for strings really gets me too.

Forgive my pointing out, this is by non other than Henry Purcell - but yes, what a choice - kind of trumps anything else for me, count me among the pretentious...

 

 

 

Phil_aka_Pip

The long and winding road (Beatles, the original Let It Be ellpee with Phil Spector's strings behind it)
Anywhere like heaven (James Taylor, Sweet Baby James side 2 track 3)
Scarecrow Song (Lindisfarne, Nicely Out Of Tune, side 2 last track?)

Combination of lyrics, tunes, and chord progression

There may be others but these immediately come to mind

Now that is just beautiful. I've not heard this piece before so have a wisdom on me!

Several already mentioned get me all emotional, sniff. Barber's Adagio, Long and Winding Road particularly. I'd add Bonnie Raitt's Matters of the Heart and Elgar's Nimrod.
I can't even listen to Nessun Dorma these days, we had it played at my dad's funeral, he was a huge opera fan.

You're very kind, cheers - have one yourself for making me dig out my Rickie Lee Jones records...
