Bright Eyes - Art Garfunkel, my mum used to sing it to me as a child.

Also, whilst strictly not a song, the theme music to Highway to Heaven. Christ that gets me every time.

Let there be love ,Nat king Cole .reminds me of my parents and my dad always saying what a great smooth voice Nat had.
Everytime we say goodbye,ellla Fitzgerald is the song that gets me as it was one of me mams favourites and hearing her singing along quietly to it as she went about the housework and what have you .teenage me thinking ,boring ,old fashioned but eventually with age realising what a fantastic voice Ella had ,Christal clear and measured .perfect.
And me dad was right,Nat king Cole wasn’t too bad either

Good one. It always reminds me of this mini series on the BBC years ago called Civvies, about some fellas back from the Falklands (it was the theme tune). Really good show if my memory serves

I sang it on me tod before Sunday's game and I'd forgot how powerful it was All the memories of missed loved ones our kid mainly and what this footie club of ours has done done to us all . The memories and emotions . It's what we attach ourselves to with music is what Iam going on about .

kesey · « **Reply #59 on:** March 12, 2024, 09:52:39 pm »

Just listened to this and it's any excuse to post it

It does get into me and on the odd occasion it brings a tear to my eye . It full of enchantment , love and I guess a bit of yearning in there too. Not all songs that make us cry or teary have to be sad .

It was played at my Dad's funeral. Also last year at my Mum's friend's funeral. Very powerful and inspiring in the most difficult of times.

You’ll never walk alone was played at my mams funeral .
She wasn’t all that interested in football but always insisted that the song should be played at the end of the service which it duly was ,as she regarded it as an inspiring anthem ,hymn.
When you hear it played in that circumstance,for someone that close to you ,it touches you deeply.
It is a very powerful and emotional hymn.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #62 on:** March 13, 2024, 07:42:11 am »

Agree with you all on YNWA. Heard it more times than I can remember obviously and always stirs the emotions one way or another. But it was also played at the end of my uncle’s funeral. Completely unexpected, as he was never that into football but as soon as the first couple of bars struck up it just hit very differently.

rob1966 · « **Reply #63 on:** March 13, 2024, 08:15:21 am »

Her Ma wants it at her funeral, as you can image, the missus and her brother and sister are not happy about that.

It's been played at many family funerals.
A few years ago we went on a short break to Krakow. I was sat on a bench wearing a Liverpool baseball cap and a local sat next to me and started chatting about football. He was an Arsenal fan but admitted that he'd always liked Liverpool because, unlike Chelsea and City we were a "proper club". He said that he loved YNWA and found it very stirring to hear it sung by The Kop. He also said that if he got married he'd like his bride to walk down the aisle to it. I didn't comment but I don't think I've ever witnessed that. Perhaps "When you walk through a storm" doesn't exactly have a wedding feel about it?

9 kemlyn road · « **Reply #65 on:** March 13, 2024, 08:57:28 am »

I’ve been to other funerals where it’s been played as the Closing song to the service and many times the person concerned is not a follower of football.
It’s a song that reaches many people all over the world for its powerful emotions and features in many social occasions all around the world.
My wife arranged for it to be played and the end of our wedding do as well.

If you look on YouTube there is a video of the composer Andre Rieu and the Johann Strauss Orchestra performing You'll Never Walk Alone live in the centre of
Maastricht. Not only does it give you the chills, but they show images of the audiences reaction, many of them are literally weeping.
Its a very powerful video and it got my eyes leaking.

On a side note, I may have told this story on here before, but I once bumped into an old school mate and agreed to go for a beer to catch up. He was a boring bastard in school so it was with some reluctance that I went along. Needless to say conversation dried up after 15 minutes and I was sat nursing my pint, trying everything to get a chat out of him. He's one of those glass half empty, whoa is me types.

Someones phone in the pub started ringing and it was our great anthem, he mutters "I hate that fucking song!". Thinking this was a perfect opportunity for a debate, I said laughing, "ahhh fuck off Dave, never had you down as a blue, you bitter bastard!"

"I'm not", he replied, "we buried my dad to it a few months ago".

Ohhhhh how I wanted to melt into the ground.

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

Played at two of my friends' funerals (both suicides), so it triggers a lot of emotions for me.

Wish You Were Here is magnificent. Really stirs my emotions too.

An extremely poignant song for me is 'Faith' by The Cure.
A lot of people find it dour and depressing, but I listened to it hundreds of times when I was very close to suicide and it helped me through. Probably because it gave my feelings a place to go rather than stay inside. So, something of a safety valve. I shed many a tear listening to Faith when at my lowest point.
