Gugny Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 There are a few for me. They were all songs that my mom loved that we'd play to her on her death bed. Piano Man, In My Life, Yesterday are all at the top of the list. Every time I hear them I start thinking about my mom.

Kirby Jackson Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) I don't mean to be all depressing but it makes for a great memory. She passed in October of 2015 (actually during that Bengals game). It was a really aggressive brain tumor. At any rate we would put those songs (and others) on for her and just sit there with her. In hospice they even had a singer come and play some of them for her. She really loved them and I think that it helped comfort her. Long story short my sister had all of my aunts and family friends in Cleveland last week for the Billy Joel concert.

Chandler#81 Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 Cats in the Cradle always majes me sad that either my brother or I couldn't be closer to home with Dad Good one /dev! Harry Chapin's version is the best. Who Yo'd Be Today -Chesney chokes me up. We lost our Maid Of Honor 35 years ago in a horrible car wreck. Wifey still isn't over it. She was 20 years old..

Kirby Jackson Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 So I walked into a bar after work with some co-workers and Piano Man was playing as I entered.
Fan in San Diego Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 Cats in the Cradle always gets me, makes wonder if I could have been a better father to my children Lately Supertramp - Even in the Quietest Moments and Downstream on the same album. They make me cry because I think of my last girlfriend that just crushed my heart. I still want her back even though she hurt my heart bad.
LeGOATski Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 I'll be missing you - P Diddy and Faith Evans Shadow of the Day - Linkin Park I'm not even a fan of any of those artists, but the songs just trigger my emotions.
LeGOATski Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 Slaves and Bulldozers - Soundgarden Not cry, but gives me goosebumps because I am a huge fan of Cornell

Piano Man, In My Life, Yesterday are all at the top of the list. Every time I hear them I start thinking about my mom. Supertramp's "Even in the Quietest Moments" was playing on the radio as I was pulling out of the hospital parking lot the last day I saw my Mom alive. I knew at the time it was likely the last time I would see her. Hard for me to listen to it to this day

LeGOATski Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 Butterfly Kisses I challenge any father who has a daughter to not tear up to this CBF Easy...maybe if I hadn't heard it a million times since I was young.
SoTier Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 Somebody already mentioned "Amazing Grace", and I'll second that. I'll also add the beautiful Catholic hymn, "The Prayer of St Francis". For more modern music, ie, country, since that's what I mostly listen to, I would say songs about the aftermath of lost love or unrequited love ... Doug Stone's "I Thought It Was You" or Eric Church's "Give Me Back My Hometown" or Dan Seals' "Everything That Glitters" or Keith Whitley's "Don't Close Your Eyes".
