when my son, kris was born he was very ill and not expected to live however being the fighter that he is he did live but he had been in intensive care since shortly after he was born so i hadnt been able to hold him but only touch him in his incubator (he had meningitis) when they finally said i could hold him it was such an emotional moment and the music that was playing on the radio was Crazy For You by Madonna im not an especially big fan of her but love this song so much because of the memories that it brings back, even though it makes me cry.............. lou xx

Melinda, That was by R Kelly, love it!

my hubby likes whiter shade of pale by procal harem(i think lol) and the one that makes me cry is turn back time played at my colleagues funeral who was 18 when he died of lung cancer. melinda

My favourite is Have I told you lately I love you (title is something like that), but by Rod Stewart, not Van Morrison, it is the back ground music to our son's christening, I still boo when I watch it, even though it was a lovely day.

whoopee the site's speeding up enabling me to do something!! Yes, Theresa, that seems it, thank you very much. It just tugs at my heartstrings, that does! Joy

I put a reply on a little while ago mentioning my dad and it made me remember a song he used to sing to me " Your the end of the rainbow" can anyone else remember it?

Hello Joy kentish maid, would that pearl fishers tune be in the depths of the temple sang by 2 male tenors? if so that is one that i love as well. Theresa

lional richie - Hello is it me your looking for - it was a song that played after I lost my dad, I had to let all relatives know, arrange the funeral and didnt cry until I heard that song one day weeks after and to this day it gets to me. A lovely song :)

What about "Dance with my father" by Luther Van Dross. My dad died when I was 19 so thats my sad song. The Humming Chorus from Madam Butterfly is very moving and almost anything from the 60s makes me happy!

sorry jacky i realised after i pressed add message how sad that message was, sorry to anyone who ive now spoiiled that song for.

Julie Ann, I love that song and you just made me cry! Jacky :-(

thank you karen o page 2 i wondered who sung eloise, we named our daughter after that , her middle name, my mum loved that song in 80s when we were expecting our daughter and said wot a nice name it would be, we spell it elouise though. my sad songs and uplifting if you have it loud enough in the car ( has to be car as neighbours will complain), is no doubt, dont speak. it says things that i can relate to when we lost mum. also pretenders always makes me sad, with 'ill stand by you' our daughter was 8 when she told me (hearing it on the radio one day) nana said this songs for me from her, i believe it was released the year mum died.

Lisa - no, I haven't - might do now though!! ----------------------------------- Wishing my Mum and Dad were still here more than ever - when I hear Susan Maughan singing "Bobby's Girl" because that's my Mum's song - and hearing in my mind's ear my Dad singing "darling je vous aime beaucoup, je ne sais pas what to do, vouz avez completely stolen my heart" and "je t'endrai". Oh, and bringing back lovely memories of Italian holidays - "Credi a me" by Bobby Solo and "Il Mondo" by Jimmy Fontana, and "La Mer". And of a liaison that should never have been! - Laura Brannigan (RIP) singing "Self control". Joy

Steedie Yeh!! Fantasy is one of the best for that innit?! Also Olive's "you're not alone"

A lot of unknown music mentioned, but obviously loved. I have to agree with Linda P on the Intermezzo from Cavaleria Rusticana, remember singing this piece in the Colchester Boys Choir (not solo either), good memories. Love Little Nell's choice, especially Cars with Drive, but for curling up at night, try Millie Jackson singing 'I want to kiss you all over' Wow !!! Derek in France

Losing my religion by REM - for when you realise that everything you ever relied on and depended on - you can't. Lisa

Fantasy- Baby D- has some great memories from many dancefloors and still love to wiggle to it now Set you free- forgot the groups name - NTrance i thinksang by Kelly LLorena same as above! Crash and Burn- Savage Garden makes me think of how lucky i am to have my mum cos it reminds me of a certain hard time we had. Lucky Star,Like a virgin,Borderline- Maddonna, reminds me of when i was 5 and used to dress up and dance round the room to her albums video! Forgot the songs name but its by Diana Ross and goes- IM SHINING LIKE A CANDLE IN THE DARK WHEN YOU TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME. Thats mine and my nannys song, she cries when she hears it...i have many more but it will take forever!

flower of scotland has sad memories for me as my auntie died of cancer and us fellow scots always have fond memories of our roots when that's played.the day of her funeral my mother and her brothers had paid for a lone piper to play that in the church when her coffin was being brough in.she had the scottish heather draped over the coffin aswell which was said to look lovely rather than just having a plain casketxxxx(:

Well Paul I always cry when I hear Danny boy it was played at my dads funeral and my heart will go on was played at my mums funeral......Sue
