Vince Gill....Go Rest High On That Mountain

My son died in the mountains in a four wheeler accident, and this song was played at his funeral.

It gets me everytime I hear it.

SWCA #1834

My deep condolences to you, sir.

When I hear Charlotte Ritchie sing that one, the screen gets pretty blurry.

Die Walküre – final scene

 

[Stainless44]

No problem with someone crying at a funeral...or over taps...or over the loss of a loved one. But if we're riding down the road and you start crying to a song just 'cause it makes you weepy...I'm gonna backhand you so hard you'll fall out of the truck.

This was the first one that came to mind...

"Good Night Saigon" by Billy Joel

haunting lyrics...the sound of the UH-1'S rotors will bring it all back...

Two songs from the Grateful Dead bring a tear to my eye. One written by Merle Haggard.

"Let my guitar picking friend do my request"

Let him sing me back home with a song I used to hear,
make my old memories come alive,
take me away and turn back the years,
Sing me back home before I die!"

And of course , Stella Blue!

''I've stayed in every blue-light cheap hotel
Can't win for trying
Dust off those rusty strings just one more time
Gonna make 'em shine!"

Grateful Dead ~ "Stella Blue" - Oakland 12.28.90 set 2 - YouTube

another excellent version,

A few years back , when we buried my oldest and closest Bro , we played Frank Sinatra's "My Way" as we lowered him. A few dozen of the toughest and hardest bikers and vets didn't have a dry eye among them.

"Daddy's Girl"- Red Sovine

Edelweiss.

For me it is the Ballad of the Green Beret.

Daddy Never was the Cadillac Kind (played at my father's funeral)

You can have mine if you like. I don't need to prove anything anymore.

On the other hand, anyone who cries over a Michael Bolton song is hard of hearing at the very least. That's like being reduced to tears by Kenny G!

I'd cry if ya tied me up , put headphones me on and made me listen to Michael Bolton or Kenny G!

"Make it STTOOOPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!"

Taps played at my young daughter's military funeral

Amazing Grace on bagpipes at police/ fire funerals.

Taps played at my young daughter's military funeral

There can be no grief like the loss of a child. Heartfelt condolences, whenever it occurred.

Hail To The Chief - 2008

It makes me want to do a combination of cry and vomit. Both at the same time.

Nobody remembers ol shep?

*Tears In Heaven* - Especially thinking of Clapton's back story.

*Summer Breeze* - My own back story.

"The wedding march".....it usually means I got married again much to my own amazement and chagrin.
