What I can't understand is why so many people have listed Eric Clapton songs. Totally devoid of any emotional content, as far as I'm aware.

 

Tears in Heaven - often gets a mention because he wrote it after the tragic death of his son. I also find "Behind The Sun" very moving.

 

The song I'd choose is "The Man With the Child In His Eyes" by Kate Bush. Brings a tear to my eyes but don't know why.

Hate something, change something.

 

And it did! I hate the crappy ads on commercial radio, Honda started playing this song over entire ad breaks.

almost forgot my all time favourite-

Roberta Flack-First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (from "Play Misty For Me)

this song ALWAYS brings a tear to my eye

and "Killing Me Softly With His Song" by her as well- truly brilliant.

I'm not an Eric Clapton fan, in fact I hardly know any of his songs apart from "Tears in Heaven", so I can't comment on the emotional content of his other material.

 

However, Tears in Heaven is a deeply emotional song - as Cols says, it was written following the death of Clapton's toddler son, and I find it a beautifully written poem from a father to his son. I was in tears the first time I heard it.

Its a bit of a dance tune by Marc Et Claude called Loving You. But I guess its a sample from a very old track. Who knows.
