There are many, many songs that make me emotional. I can't help it, I love music. Almost every pivotal moment in my life is relived during a particular song.

The songs that don't have a specific memory, but instead, cause emotion due to the writing for me are:

Cats in the cradle. -HCC
Don't take the girl -TM
Lightning Crashes - Live
Down in the Willow Garden - EB
Barbara Allen
Long Black Veil

Billy Joel - And So It Goes.

 

[John James]

Junior High, the most beautiful girl in the world, (I thought) Told me "It's over!".

Got off the bus, went home and turned on the radio.

Rush - Entre Nous

It was a song that was important to me during the first years with my wife.

Unfortunately, I discovered too late that there's a word missing that changes the meaning somewhat.

"Spaces in between, leave room for us to grow (apart)"

I often wonder if things could have been different if those spaces hadn't existed.

Released 7/7/1987, the very day my Dad took his "last train ride home" which departed at 7:37 pm and he loved steam locomotives.

The Hamster Dance Song

... or maybe Linda Ronstadt, Hasten Down the Wind ...

 

[RT Fan]

"Willie McBride" a/k/a "Green Fields Of France." Written by Eric Bogle, performed by a myriad of stars but the version I always think of is by the Clancy Brothers, just heart wrenching. The waste of young men's lives and the futility of war.
"Well I hope you died quick, and I hope you died clean
or Willie McBride, was it slow and obscene."
