Oh most definitely.

I have a hard time listening to "You Lift Me Up" by Josh Groban. My BFF and I both lost our Dads in close sequence to each other and this was played at their funerals.

Tchaikovsky's 'Pathetique', Symphony #6. If I am correct, this was his last composition which debuted several days before he died. Theories are that is was a suicide. If so, it makes this music all the more heartrending.

I can't even listen to that one. Too painful.

Doesn't make my cry as such but as I pondered pros and cons of going to Church and the impact on the family not going would have, the words of the Clash seemed to ring true even if taken out of context:

"Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble
An' if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know
Should I stay or should I go?"

That song always popped in my head before transfer days when I would be leaving a city. The Clash was my Lord and my sign on my mission.

I am often surprised by what music touches me.
Once it was Elvis singing "In The Garden" -- it took me back to my early years listening to my "Dad" (maternal grandfather) singing this in his clear tenor voice.

Recently, it was the songs I chose for my husband's funeral:
Nearer My God to Thee and Abide with Me Tis Eventide.
I had to practice those many times before I could get through the service!

Sometimes it's something out of the blue. Most recently it was Anne Murray singing: "Can I have this dance, for the rest of my life" it took me back to the first time I met the man to be my husband, asking me to dance. Little did either of us know at the time that it would be: for the rest of his life. (Fifty plus years.)

Sometimes it's a patriotic song like :America the Beautiful, of the Star Spangled Banner.

There are others, but these are the ones that come to mind today.

"Skinny Love" by Bon Iver or Birdie. Love that song and I tear up every time.

That is a great play.

so beautiful...

"Honey" by Bobby Goldsboro made me misty-eyed not too long ago. It reminded me of a friend's wife that died of brain cancer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59BZxgohr9g

Another is "He Stopped Loving Her Today" by George Jones

"Grace" is an obscure Irish love song about a man in prison who will be put to death at sunrise for teason. He is singing to his sweetheat who marries him that night anyway. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6Oi7CdBc78

And when did Bobby Goldsboro get so young? In the early 70s he was the older man we swooned over.

Sia - Breathe Me. Especially this live radio version.

Landslide, by Stevie Nicks

Though the song is describing an avalanche, lanslide is a good metaphor for the collapse of a supporting love. You feel like the Earth has fallen away from you.

Louis Armstrong sing "What a Wonderful World."

Israel Kamakawiwoʻole singing "What a Wonderful World/Somewhere Over the Rainbow"


Can't finish either without tearing up and want Iz's recording played at my funeral.
