Frightened Rabbit - Floating in the Forth

Scott the lead singer wrote this song over ten years ago. Last May he jumped off the Forth road bridge in Edinburgh. I haven't been able to listen to this song in full since. This is a fan made video driving over the bridge.

I find all of Burials music so so emotional. Ethereal beyond measure.

Tell me how

Christy Moore - Bright Blue Rose

I always liked the song, ever since I heard it first. Lost a friend to suicide and it was sung as her coffin was removed from the church.

About 4 months later, I went to a Christy Moore concert and he opened with it. Waterworks commenced.

Sorry for the multiple posts. I love and seek out this type of music, the more it makes me hurt, cry, feel the more i love it.

These songs touch me mainly for the connection they have to others:

I have more but this will do for now.

Absolutely gorgeous song. My grandmother was called Margaret and my grandfather used to sing this song to her. Everyone should know a love like that at least once in their lifetime.

Sweet Sixteen - Finbarr Furey

This piece really cuts me up bad.

As I roll into my fifties, I miss my siblings more than ever, both of whom have stayed abroad.

The bigger picture is the history of emigration, of course.

There Are Some Men

Music by Philip Glass,
Lyrics by Leonard Cohen:

There are some men
who should have mountains
to bear their names through time
Grave markers are not high enough
or green
and sons go far away to lose the fist
their father's hand will always seem
I had a friend he lived and died
in mighty silence and with dignity
left no book son or lover to mourn.
Nor is this a mourning song
but only a naming of this mountain
on which I walk
fragrant, dark and softly white
under the pale of mist
I name this mountain after him.

Kate Bush - This Woman's Work (can't watch the video as I fall apart altogether).

The Band Perry - If I Die Young (I first heard it sung by one of the characters in Glee after Cory Monteith died.)

Caitlin Grey does a beautiful version of She Moved Through the Fair. I have wrecked my phone battery listening to it so much.

In This River - Black Label Society (Dedicated to Dimebag Darrell Abbott after his death).

Water Runs Dry - Boyz II Men (just gorgeous).

Have been to '''the Somme '' on several occasions . One time there were four of us doing a bit of sight seeing , thiepval memorial , Beaumont Hamill and just a few random small graveyards . One of the lads had found the name of a relation on the thiepval memorial . We got back in the car and i stuck a ''furey's '' cd on . The ''green fields of france'' played and i will never forget the sense of sadness in the car . there was not a word spoken until the tune was over , one of the lads said , ''fcuk sake boy's , it's sad . He didn't say anything else , he had said it all . Unforgetable moment

The Pogues: Rainy Night In Soho.

I never understood this, absolutely one of the worst songs ever composed.

Old sea songs and shanties are very sad. This one is the most beautiful and heartbreaking.

Bryn Terfel's version is the best of all the modern singers.. and then there's the man himself: Paul Robeson.

I really love Elvis' I Just Can't Help Believing about his daughter. Not sure what instrument they use in it? Saxophone? I love that part especially anyway!

A fine fine record yes.However,hate to break this to you but it's not about his Daughter but a lover.
BJ Thomas did it originally and Elvis made it his own
I think the line "With a trace of Misty morning and a promise of tomorrow in her eyes" wouldn't be something a Father would sing about his Daughter (?)

Yeah maybe. That's what I thought it was though because of some of the other lyrics and didn't really think much of that line.

My mam always use to sing it to me and she said that's what it's about so you'll have to take it up with her but I'll just warn you now, she's never wrong only messing

if you know the words and the story, its just awfully sad. This version by Jim McCann is one of my fav's.

Same here! It was the first song I ever remember crying at. I was about 10 and I didn't have any concept of the story or background. The whole mood and air of it is just so moving.
