Dayo Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 ... 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 TONE Tone I feel the same way about Silent Night. Have you ever heard it sung in German? Stille Nacht. It's sounds wonderful. There's a story about the temporary armistice that used to take place during the 1914-18 war on Christmas Day. At one God forsaken battle ground, The Brits started singing Silent Night and the Germans joined in from their trenches singing in German - each trying to doutdo the other. It ended with a game of soccer between the two enemies in no-man's land. Next day, it was carnage as usual. Colin Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest 2648 W Grand Boulevard Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 The Winstons "Colour him father" and The Temptations "Since I lost my baby" make me go quiet and thoughtful. However I cant ever listen to "Why" by the Eurythmics without wiping a tear away as that was playing a lot when I lost my mum in a car crash 12 years ago .

leev Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 i'm sure i responded to a thread of a similar nature a few years back on the old a.n.s. but hey it's a new day i must admit there are songs with far more slushy and sentimental lyrics than my choices, but these do it for me. idol few- people that's why..it's just beautiful and one man standing alone. edwin starr - my sweet lord.... i played it on a radio show last year and had to play sveral tracks after without speaking, so i could compose myself, it does me every time Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

steve z Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 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............... The Phantom .........Come back to me.......Karisma.......... think of my dear departed Dad ....... 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 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

C possibly Bobby Powell a great version for me it has to be "someday we'll all be free" Donny Hathaway especially when listening to the "Extensions of a man" LP. There's a different instrumental break on the Greatest Hit's album. I often wonder if he wrote the song with his future in mind. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
