Good call, Alex!

David Sylvian - Brilliant Trees
This Mortal Coil - Song to the Siren
Kate Bush - Under the Ivy
Julie Cruise - The World Spins
Talk Talk - Tomorrow Started
The Communards - For a Friend
Abba - The Winner Takes It All
The Carpenters - Goodbye to Love
Killing Joke - Goodbye to the Village
David Bowie - Life on Mars
Level 42 - It's Over
Johnny Pearson - Sleepy Shores
Samuel Barber - Adagio for Strings
Jean Sibelius - Swan of Tuonela
Ralph Vaughan Williams - Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis
John Barry - Remembering Chet
Thomas Newman - Any Other Name
Killing Joke - Twilight of the Mortal
Gustav Holst - Venus, the Bringer of Peace
China Crisis - Christian
Michael McDonald - I Keep Forgetting
The Four Tops - Do What You Gotta Do
The Divine Comedy - Lost Property
Dionne Warwick or The Stranglers - Walk on By
So many more...

"This Woman's Work" by Kate Bush. Chokes me up like a big girl's blouse practically every time.

OK, I've wondered this for a while.
I'm a right soppy bugger & certain songs - particularly if I'm in a certain mood - can often moisten the old eyes.
I reckon that everyone has at least one song that chokes them so, quick poll - what songs always 'get' you...?
Points will be deducted & legs slapped for things like -  "anything by Milli Vanilli'  :)

There are lots that get to me, but if I'm in a certain frame of mind some of the more lethal ones are:

Cocteau Twins - Evangaline
Natalie Imbruglia - Goodbye
Mew - Comforting Sounds
Carpark North - Cancer
Weezer - Angel & the one
Dead Can Dance - Sanvean

you think some of those are bad you should see the ones I've left out ;)
