Oh yes cue,

one of the loveliest voices in music ever

I agree, I miss that kind of talent these days...mate we could name literally hundreds of the best artists that ever lived long before the days of turning them into annoying products...like Taylor Swift who?

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Gimme Back my Bullets...

Absolutely Rocks - no tears involved...

Eloi...........that was a powerful song.............I had not heard it before.

I love some of the choices.

Sometimes it is not the song that brings a tear to our eyes.......but what it reminds us of.

Forster and Allen's song Maggie does that for me......because my Mother-in-law sang it at my Father-in-law's funeral..........it was their special song.

When my last Aunty died.........and at her funeral they played Garth Brooks...The Dance......and I loved it because as a little girl I remember going to dances with them........and I loved loved loved to watch my Aunty and Uncle dance together................because they looked so beautiful.

I love the strong lyrics to this song.

Savage Garden.........Two beds and another coffee machine.  http://youtu.be/tHXZ_peJe9c

Give me a spell, First time ever I saw your face was the very first song I ever learnt on my guitar, and, thst was a very long time ago.

Eloi, i love In the arms of the Angels, it is so incredibly sad.

Joe ,I cannot get that link to work, can you do it again please.

I know these are all sad songs, but, I haven't had this much fun for ages, thanks Flashie for the Thread.
