u2 the sweetest thing.what a lovely thing to do for your wife record a song for her AAARRGGHHHxxxxx(:

talking about turning up the volume.HEART/HOW DO I GET YOU ALONE.always on full blast when it comes on the music channel xxxx(:

lisa, i'd forgotten all about jerusalem,i was made to sing that in the school choir in junior school,we were made to sing it over and over again and for that reason i can't bear it.what makes things worse is that my mum wants it played when she goes upstairs so i'll hate it even more, but i do love i vow to thee my country karen

To bring a tear to my eye - Nans song by Robbie Williams - saw him sing this live at Knebworth last year - absolutely fab or I will always love you - Whitney Houston version, this was played at a funeral I went to years ago, the person who had died was only in his early 20's, him and his wife had danced to it as their first song only a few months before and his wife was expecting their first child when he died, even know I cant listen to the song. To get me turning the volume right up - Living on a prayer by Jon Bon Jovi Bring back memories song - Somewhere out there, dont know who it was by, it was in a cartoon movie with mice in it - I remember in my early teens singing this in my back garden looking up in the stars, wishing that I had a boyfriend.

show me heaven by maria mckee, THE greatest love song ever

sue jerusalem makes me cry when i hear it.the lines that stand true are TILL WE CAN SEE JERUSALEM IN ENGLANDS GREEN AND PLEASANT LAND.i am very patriotic .must come from my great grandfathers side .he was a sergeant in the marines.my grandfather and father were in the navy and fought for their country and the proudest moment will be when my niece will follow in the family footsteps by joining the navyxxxxx(:

Anything by Bobby Goldsboro especially 'Autumn of my life' and 'Honey', Make me bubble up...so sad. Uplifting song is 'Flower of Scotland', the version I prefer is by the Alexander Brothers. 'Nessum Dorma' by Pavarotti gives me goose bumps ~~ 'Do the Hucklebuck' by Brendan Boyer and 'Run Runaway' by Slade reminds me of my teenage years and carefree times. Just to name a few... ...Babz

To make me cry because of the memories they bring back.........Even Now by Barry Manilow, Only You by Flying Pickets, Smile by the Rockin' Berries, Every Time We Say Goodbye by Ella Fitzgerald, Dream a Little Dream of Me by Mama Cass. To make me proud to be British.............Jerusalem and Land of Hope and Glory, especially sung at the Last Night of the Proms To make me feel young again..............Bat out of Hell by Meatloaf, played at full volume on the car stereo with all the windows open, speeding up the A3! To make me cry coz I'm a silly old Grandma.!............Away in a Manger, sung by any small children, but especially my grandchildren in their Nativity plays. To remind me that I was born into a Christian family............Adeste Fideles (O Come All Ye Faithfull) sung in an old C of E church loudly enough to make the rafters ring. Sue

I'm not in love - 10cc brings back memories of the first man I really fell in love with. The cars' Drive always reminds me of that footage shown at LiveAid of starving children. Any classical music, especially opera, brings back my dad - I can picture him conducting the music and singing along! nell

Eloise by the damned--named our daughter after it anything by duran duran--makes me think of the great times i had as a teenager stay by east 17--my mums friends daughter died when she was 18 and this was no1 at the time unchained melody by rightous brothers--1st song me and hubby danced to never too much by luther vandross--our song pump up the volume by mars-- great memories i need love by ll cool j--- hubby(then boyfriend of not long)brought it for me and i hated it,he thought he was being romantic,it still makes us laugh

GROOVY KIND OF LOVE BY PHIL COLLINS>VERY ROMANTIC.SEXUAL HEALING BY MARVIN GAYElove lional richie and my all time romantic song ever is THE COMMODORES/THREE TIMES A LADY. the words are so lovelyxxxx(:

David, I am soooo glad I didn't hear Caroline's version! Jacky :-)

Jacky & Lynda The Nat King Cole version IS really moving but I always think of Caroline Ahearne singing it on the Mrs Merton Christmas show one year and that's sort of spoiled it for me:) Deb - the Enigma song is brilliant and I'd forgotten til you put that on but it really helped me through a really bad time 10 years ago - am gonna have to root it out now! David

Paul, I agree with the REM - Everybody Hurts. One that has always upset me ever since I was a child and my dad played it, was Nat King Cole - The little boy that Santa Claus forgot. I have never been able to bring myself to let my daughter hear it! Jacky the wimp. :-)

I've thought of a few more The boy with the thorn in his side by the Smiths Everybody Hurts by REM Some of Us by Starsailor is a great song, very good lyrics

oooooh Lynda - love the choices you made - yes

Past ones that always "get" me are- cold november rain - Guns 'n' Roses nothing compares 2 u - Sinead O'Connor strange currencies & nightswimming - REM for all we know - Billie Holiday purple rain - Prince when will you make my telephone ring - Deacon Blue you surround me - Erasure (and looads more) and at the moment- gravity - Embrace run - snow patrol & anything by Coldplay lol and i find Elgar's Nimrod really uplifting and sort of bittersweet:)

Good choices Jacky

A song I thought was just beautiful was Fields of Gold sung by Eva Cassidy. It was then used for an advert on TV for Cancer Research and now just makes me well up. Wonderful World sung by Louis Armstrong - a great song. Jacky:-)
