Going through a break up, heard this on Absolute Radio this morning as my ex came to collect more stuff. Caused me to well up.



This also is a gut wrencher for me.

I was watching a re-run of celebrity pointless the other day and at the end they had Ralph McTell play out to The Streets of London, that always gives a tear.


A Few others are Father and son by Cat Stevens.


The drugs don't work by the verve, as this was the song that was playing when my first child was playing.

Maybe not tears, but chills for sure. For those who have seen the film should understand. This is absolutely incredible.

If that was 2003 then I was there.
As great as some of REM's songs are, Stipe's voice live has something to be desired. Better to listen to the studio stuff.

Not out and out sad, but melancholy and I cried when finally saw them and they played it.

Gets me every time I hear it. I’m even worse when I’ve been drinking. Made it clear to y kids I want this played at my funeral.

Near the end of this tribute I felt very emotional

One of the saddest songs I know, with one of the great understated guitar solos. Have played the album to death since 1974.
Particularly appropriate in these times of loneliness and lockdown

George Harrison's son jamming in with ace musicians including the great Prince. I wept a little with nostalgia.

Some might not be aware, your earlier Led Zep tribute had Bonzo's lad playing the drums.

Indeed, and the bowler-hatted choir added poignancy to the occasion

Dunkirk - Variation 15 by Benjamin Wallfisch, original by Elgar.

And for old times sake Nothing Compares To You by Sinead O’Conner, ignoring all her shit and politics.

I feel like this needs a movie version..  Mostly because around the age of 40 I turned into a blubbering wreck watching emotional films.  No idea how, I have no sympathy in general.  Blackfish fucked me up though.
