when my husband was ill he came home for a few weeks and he sang shallow by lady ga ga and bradley cooper. said it helped with his breathing.
Can’t manage to do a link but
The song is If I could be where you are by Enya & is so beautiful & apt.
Let the tears fall.. X.
I had never heard that song before. It is beautiful . The tears certainly did fall xx
I can’t do a link to music but I have to mute the radio and TV when Wind Beneath my Wings by Bette Middler is played as that’s what was played as we walked out of church at my husband’s funeral. I do the same when Frank Sinatra’s My Way is played as that’s what was played at my dear sister’s funeral.
We had ive got all the time in the world by louis armstrong. And wanted it played at his funeral. We played it at his graveside.
I am the same too, it used to be where as soon as I get up in a morning the radio would go on but I haven’t’ done that since I lost Barrie 11 months ago, I have tried but I seem to pick up on certain words within a song I’ve most likely heard 100’s of times before but never noticed, so I’ve given up trying and just sit in silence.
This was ‘our’ song from when we first met back in 1974 you see he was in the forces at the time and we never knew when we would get to see each other again, when Barrie his days were short he wanted to talk about his funeral, which was upsetting enough to even think about, but he said the one thing he wanted was this song to be played which it would have been anyway as I’d already thought it just had to be included, even now just thinking about it let along hearing it again I’ve got tears streaming again, I’ve also had a picture framed with the lyrics of the song set inside a heart.
There plenty of songs that set me off too many to mention but have been included on this thread, but another one that was included for his funeral was ‘I will always love you’ by Dolly Parton, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJVn0hpBVuE and one of Barries all time favourites was ‘Nights in White Satin’ by Moody Blues. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbqxbGm9hBI
I’ll Be Seeing You - Bessie Smith
Just listened to the soundtrack from the film Breaking Glass with Hazel O’Connor “Will you” reminds me of the time we first got together back in the late 90’s, it was that kind of date and yes it was what made us be together for the next 20 years. John
Yes thanks
Another song I love.
I discovered this beautiful song by chance after my lovely Ron crossed the veil and it’s words actually uplift me as I know we’ll be together again and I feel his presence in numerous ways
I never knew it was possible to smile so much through tears x
This song was the undoing of me on Saturday! We used to listen to a Mariah Carey album in the car on long journeys to France. It came on the radio and I literally broke. Funny when it gets you
