This is the songs that choke you up thread.
I think you meant to post here http://www.lpsg.com/290917-the-heavy-metal-music-thread.html.
Some of the links are no longer available but there's plenty that still are.

I know. That IS a song that chokes me up. Listen to the words. It's a beautifully deep song, and brings a lump to my throat... sometimes a tear to my eye. Just happens to be a metal song.

If I was gonna post a metal song just as a metal song, I'd choose something more along the lines of Cannibal Corpse or Dying Fetus :headbang:

Anyway, sorry if it's not a welcome song.

P!nk "Who Knew"

P!nk - Who Knew - YouTube

- "If someone said three years from now you'd be long gone, I'd stand up and punch them out, 'cuz they're all wrong"
- "When someone said count your blessings now, for they're long gone, I guess I just didn't know how. I was all wrong"
- "That last kiss I'll cherish, until we meet again. When Time makes it harder, I wish I could remember. But I keep your mem'ry - you visit me in my sleep, my darlin'.

Yep, that song brings me to tears. Every time.

The other one that brings me to tears is "One Sweet Day" by Mariah Carey. That was played at a funeral of someone I was once very close to. I can't listen to that song at all nowadays.

Yes, that's another one that'll get me going. Me and my dog cried together to that song when we lost my other puppy last year. My dogs are my best friends, so yeah. I'm tearing up typing this.

I'm sorry you lost your friend. My <3 goes out to you.

Here's another one that gets me... no words at all. Just that music.

1. Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss

Brad Paisley, Alison Krauss - Whiskey Lullaby - YouTube

Whiskey Lullaby makes me emotional, I remember hearing it for the first time and I broke down, I guess it reminds me of things.

2. It is Well with my Soul

Bill & Gloria Gaither - It Is Well With My Soul [Live] - YouTube

Even though this is a Hymn, I remember hearing how powerful it sounded in the church with everyone singing.

It stirs up emotion in me because growing up I played a piano, gave it up and stopped...so many years later I was asked to play this at a funeral, so I practiced again for 3 days until I got it right.
Whiskey Lullaby is a fantastic song. Jon Randalstown wrote it and his version is superb

In the right circumstance, some of these could definitely
bring a swell of emotion. At the least, they "set a mood."

Written by Kirsty and Johnny Marr, from the wonderful Kite LP. Heart-wrenching by itself, but doubly sad now because listening always brings to mind the horrific way she died saving her kids. A beautiful soul.
