I listened to it this morning on Real Radio and it never fails to bring a tear to my eye

Bobby Goldsbrough - "Honey" or more commonly known as the Cedar tree song

See the tree how big its grown (Ceder tree) get it !!!

The other one is Old Shep by Elvis

In the ghetto . Elvis Presley fantastic song but always makes me cry.

Only you by The platters and Too Young by nat King Cole because we played them at my grandads funeral :(

Excerpt From A Teenage Opera-Grocer Jack;Keith West.

Adagio for strings is quite morose, I love it though.

Owt by Radiohead.

'And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda' by Eric Bogle. I've been learning to play it and it took me ages to get through to the end without welling up...

I think "Toy soldiers" is a sad song.

The Jeff Buckley cover of Hallelujah, originally done by Leonard Cohen. It kicks the ground from beneath my feet that one.

I was just thinking this song as I was scrolling down, wasn't sure if that was the name and didn't know who did it, but I really like it and it always makes me go a little bit melancholy (sp) when I hear it!!

DOlly Parton - ME AND LITTLE ANDY :gag:

Late one cold and stormy night I heard a dog a' barkin'
Then I thought I heard somebody at my door a' knockin'
I wondered who could be outdide in such an awful storm
Then I saw a little girl with a puppy in her arms
Before I could say a word she said, 'My name is Sandy
And this here is my puppy dog, it's name is little Andy'
Standing in the bitter cold in just a ragged dress
Then I asked her to come in and this is what she said

Ain't ya got no gingerbread
Ain't ya got no candy
Ain't ya got an extra bed for me and little Andy
Patty cake and bakersman
My mommy ran away again
And we was all alone and didn't know what else to do
I wonder if you'll let us stay with you

Giddy up trotty horse, going to the mill
Can we stay all night
If you don't love us no one will
I promise we won't cry
London bridge is fallin' down
My daddy's drunk again in town
And we was all alone and didn't what we could do
I wonder if you'll let us stay with you

She was just a little girl, not more than six or seven
But that night as they slept the angels took them both to heaven
God knew little Andy would be lonesome with her gone
Now Sandy and her puppy dog won't ever be alone

Ain't ya got no gingerbread
Ain't ya got no candy
Ain't ya got an extra bed for me and little (whispers) Andy

'Living Years' by Mike and the Machanics

'My young man' by Kate Rusby - it's written from the point of view of an old woman describing her husbands death from some appalling lung disease consequent to having been a miner.

Failing that I'd go with Rolf Harris's 'Two Little Boys'.

Muwahaaaaa :cry:

Muwahaaaaa :cry:

It never fails......'Do you think I would leave you dying, when there's room on my horse for two'.............

It never fails......'Do you think I would leave you dying, when there's room on my horse for two'.............

Stop!! Enough!! I'm getting choked just reading the words. My kiddies listen to that song and it really does never fail... that slow build up to those quiet words!

That's it, I'm a wreck now, I can't go to work.



......Joe I'm all a-tremble
Perhaps it's the battle's noise
But I think it's that I remember
When we were two little boys....

right back achya!

Yay! Result! Seriously though Titian, you ought to look up the Rusby song I've mentioned - it's thoroughly beautiful and desperately sad - I could Email it you if like.
