The idea is to "List the songs that move your spirit, cut deep into your soul, and threaten to break your heart." It has taken me a while to come up with a list, not least because I also wanted to provide access to the songs in case you haven't heard them before. So there was a fair bit of searching YouTube to bring the list! So here it is in No particular order...
Artist : Pavlovs Dog
Track : Julia
Reason. When I listen to this I think of looking through a window in autumn and missing the summer. The lyrics speak of being so in love you cant live without that persons reciprocated love
Artist : Various (BBC Children in need single)
Track : Perfect Day
Reason. Perhaps not sad, but has a melancholy tune and thoughtfully delivered lyrics.
Artist : Eric Clapton
Track : Tears in Heaven
Reason. Written after the death of his son... Don't think I need to say any more.
Artist : Sinead O'Connor
Track : Nothing Compares to You
Reason. Seeing an artist shed real tears, due to the emotion of a song is very moving.
