Stay another day. East 17.Reminds me of my friend that took her life.Annie

The TV doesn't often get to me, but songs do. I think we all probably hear things in songs that speak directly to us...

Goodbye's (The Saddest Word) - Celine Dion. Still makes me cry, but when my daughter was living abroad I used to sob every time I heard it. For those not familiar with the track: Mamma you gave life to me Turned a baby into a lady And mamma all you had to offer Was a promise of a lifetime of love Now I know there is no other love like a mother's Love for her child I know that love so complete someday must leave Must say goodbye Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near Someday you'll say that word and I will cry It'll break my heart to hear you say goodbye Mamma you gave love to me Turned a young one into a woman And mamma all I ever needed Was a guarantee of you loving me 'Cause I know there is no other love like a mother's Love for her child And it hurts so that something so strong someday'll be gone Must say goodbye But the love you give will always live You'll always be there every time I fall You take my weakness and you make me strong And I will always love you till forever comes And when you need me I'll be there for you always I'll be there your whole life through I'll be there through the lonely days I'll be there this I promise you mamma I'll be your beacon through the darkest night I'll be the wings that guide your broken flight I'll be your shelter through the raging storm And I will love you till forever comes Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near Someday you'll say that word and I will cry It'll break my heart to hear you say goodbye Till we meet again until then goodbye.

Everytime you go away - by HALL&OATS (Even though they say that the Paul Young version was better!)

Thank you all for adding your songs David, my son would agree with you on the Guns and Roses one Postie Paul has asked me to add these words for him Eva Cassidy-Somewhere Over The Rainbow was played at my Dad's funeral and I can't listen to it without the waterworks starting.. Midnight Blue Electric Light Orchestra (from the album Discovery) I see the lonely road that leads so far away I see the distant lights that left behind the day But what I see is so much more than?I can say And I see you in midnight blue I see you crying now, you've found a lot of pain And what you're searching for can never be the same But what's the difference 'cause they say what's in a name And I see you in midnight blue I will love you tonight And I will stay by your side Loving you, I'm feeling midnight blue I see you standing there far out along the way I want to touch you but the night becomes the day I count the words that I am never gonna say And I see you in midnight blue I will love you tonight And?I will stay by your side Loving you, I'm feeling midnight blue Can't you feel the love that I'm offering you, Can't you see how it's meant to be Can't you hear the words that I'm saying to you, Can't you believe like I believe It's only one, but one it's true Still I see you in midnight blue I see beautiful days And I feel beautiful ways of loving you Everything's midnight blue I will love you tonight And I will stay by your side Loving you, I'm feeling midnight blue ********************************************* Desperado - The Eagles Desperado, why don't you come to your senses, You've been out ridin fences for so long now, Oh and you're a hard one, but I know that you've got your reasons, The things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow. Don't you draw the Queen of Diamonds boy, she'll beat you if she's able. You know the Queen of Hearts is always your best bet. Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table, But you only want the ones you can't get. Desperado, you ain't gettin no younger, Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin you home, And freedom, oh freedom, well that's just some people talkin. Your prison is walking through this world all alone. Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime, The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine, It's hard to tell the nighttime from the day. And you're losin all your highs and lows, Ain't it funny how the feelin goes away? Desperado, why don't you come to your senses, Come down from your fences- open the gates. It may be rainin, but there's a rainbow above you. You'd better let somebody love you, Let somebody love you, You'd better let somebody love you, before it's too late

This song really gets to me. My mother's father died in 1979 and the song was released in Australia around that time. Everytime I hear it, it reminds me of Poppa, who was a special person: 'Bright Eyes' Is it a kind of dream, Floating out on the tide, Following the river of death downstream? Oh, is it a dream? There's a fog along the horizon, A strange glow in the sky, And nobody seems to know where you go, And what does it mean? Oh, is it a dream? Bright eyes, Burning like fire. Bright eyes, How can you close and fail? How can the light that burned so brightly Suddenly burn so pale? Bright eyes. Is it a kind of shadow, Reaching into the night, Wandering over the hills unseen, Or is it a dream? There's a high wind in the trees, A cold sound in the air, And nobody ever knows when you go, And where do you start, Oh, into the dark. Bright eyes, burning like fire. Bright eyes, how can you close and fail? How can the light that burned so brightly Suddenly burn so pale? Bright eyes. Bright eyes, burning like fire. Bright eyes, how can you close and fail? How can the light that burned so brightly Suddenly burn so pale? Bright eyes. Lew Lew xxx PS CB. You and I are obviously on the same wave length

Heard this one just after my Dad died and always makes me fill up. Germaine x I'll Find My Way Home You ask me where to begin Am I so lost in my sin You ask me where did I fall I'll say I can't tell you when But if my spirit is lost How will I find what is near Don't question I'm not alone Somehow I'll find my way home My sun shall rise in the east So shall my heart be at peace And if you're asking me when I'll say it starts at the end You know your will to be free Is matched with love secretly And talk will alter your prayer Somehow you'll find you are there. Your friend is close by your side And speaks in far ancient tongue A seasons wish will come true All seasons begin with you One world we all come from One world we melt into one Just hold my hand and we're there Somehow we're going somewhere Somehow we're going somewhere [interlude] You ask me where to begin Am I so lost in my sin You ask me where did I fall I'll say I can't tell you when But if my spirit is strong I know it can't be long No questions I'm not alone Somehow I'll find my way home Somehow I'll find my way home Somehow I'll find my way home Somehow I'll find my way home

Am listening to this tonight, and it has started me off again Sometimes When I'm Dreaming ( Lyrics & music: Michael Batt) All the friends I believed in I believed in for a while They had their flair They had their style But nobody quite got it right Nobody knew just how it feels to be me But sometimes when I’m dreaming And I dream a lot these days I meet someone who understands who leads me through the haze It’s only when I’m dreaming that I fall in love for real But I wake up screaming Sometimes when I’m dreaming And it’s now that I need a friend I reach out for the phone Nobody’s there Nobody’s home Though it may not be right to give up the fight I’m sailing away now I’m on my own Alone But sometimes when I’m dreaming And I dream a lot these days I meet someone who understands who leads me through the haze It’s only when I’m dreaming that I fall in love for real But I wake up screaming Sometimes when I’m dreaming But I wake up screaming Sometimes when I’m dreaming

Oh my Beloved Father, very significant for me at present...

HI All Angels robbie williams , when my mum died it was the first song on the radio when i went back into her house to sort things out and put radio on so it wasnt so quite. Theresa. xx

Beth Orton's cover of 'I Wish I Never Saw The Sunshine' and Nick Cave's song 'Love Letter' were both tearjerkers for me.

Jeff Buckey - Hallelujah Athlete - Wires Jem - Missing You

Hi Theresa I would agree with you on Angels, it is a lovely song Dee x

The saddest song for me would have to 'Storms', by Fleetwood Mac. Making me cry just copying it. Storms Written by S. Nicks (1979) Every night that goes between I feel a little less As you slowly go away from me This is only another test Every night you do not come Your softness fades away Did I ever really care that much? Is there anything left to say? Every hour of fear I spend My body tries to cry Living through each empty night A deadly call inside I haven't felt this way I feel Since many a year ago But in those years and the lifetimes past I did not deal with the road And I did not deal with you I know Though the love has always been So I search to find an answer there So I can truly win Every hour of fear I spend My body tries to cry Living through each empty night A deadly call inside So I try to say Goodbye my friend I'd like to leave you with something warm But never have I been a blue calm sea I have always been a storm Always been a storm Always been a storm I have always been a storm We were frail... She said 'Every night he will break your heart' I should have known from the first I'd be the broken hearted But I loved you from the start Save us... And not all the prayers in the world Could save us

Agree with Paul about wires by Athlete only have to hear that, am in tears and straight back to SCBU along with all the sights, sounds and smells that went with it.....

Bridge Over Trouble Water When you’re weary, feeling small, When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all; I’m on your side. When times get rough And friends just can’t be found, Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down. Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down. When you’re down and out, When you’re on the street, When evening falls so hard I will comfort you. I’ll take your part. When darkness comes And pain is all around, Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down. Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down. Sail on silvergirl, Sail on by. Your time has come to shine. All your dreams are on their way. See how they shine If you need a friend I’m sailing right behind. Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind. Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind. Favourite of my cousin who was taken tragically young in life and now I can't listen to it.

Celine Dion - The Prayer (duet With Andrea Bocelli) Lyrics (Carol Bayer Sager/David Foster) I pray you'll be our eyes, and watch us where we go. And help us to be wise in times when we don't know Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way Lead us to the place, guide us with your grace To a place where we'll be safe Played at my Father's funeral He loved us to play it and especially liked Andrea Bocelli Maureen X

I'm with Deborah. Fix you by Coldplay. (Old shep as well but I won't shout too loudly about that!!!)
