particular order):

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

"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 ;)
