The love song - My heart will go on by Celine Dion.
We met in 1998, and this was the first film we went to see together and was when I told her for the first time that I loved her. This song means so much to me.

This Titanic song you posted Chris4 reminds me of my best friend who died suddenly as it was played at his funeral, we also loved the film and he was in love with Jack/Leo but sadly never got a Leo of his own as he was only 18 when he died of meningitis that we thought was a headache.,. thanks for posting as I hadnā€™t heard it for a while and it reminds me how lucky I am that I did get to continue my life, even if it doesnā€™t always feel like it since my husband died.

For my chosen song I was going to post the cover by the aptly titled Pity Party that I listen to a lot but the video for this one is strangely reassuring so I stuck with the well known version:

Awww, I am so sorry to hear about such a tragic loss. Itā€™s never easy to lose someone so close, but at 18, it makes it even more tragic.
I cannot listen to this song without weeping like a baby! Itā€™s the most emotional song for me right now, but the most special.

When you wake early and want to listen to a special song. Welcome to my morning
The Paper Kites Climb On Your Tears

Iā€™ve been dreaming about you
For a long time in my mind
Iā€™ve been seeing your face
In the light on the hill
I canā€™t help thinking
Itā€™s been a long time now
Iā€™ve been wondering
How youā€™ve been
Well the last time we spoke
There was a pain in your heart
You said the rain just falls
Every day on you
And I couldnā€™t help you anymore
But I can tell you now
Youā€™ve gotta climb those
Heavy tears

Climb on your tears
Like a ladder to a rose, baby
Climb on your tears
Like a ladder to a rose, baby
Climb on your tears
Like a ladder to a rose, baby
Climb on your tears
Wash all your fears away

Well itā€™s hard when youā€™ve got that pain
Like a thorn in your side
And itā€™s calling out your name
And it burns like a fire
Well I canā€™t take it away
Itā€™s a shadow in the night
But I can tell you
I keep on climbing now

Climb on your tears
Like a ladder to a rose, baby
Climb on your tears
Like a ladder to a rose, baby
Climb on your tears
Like a ladder to a rose, baby
Climb on your tears
Wash all your fears away

Like a summer sun falls
And the light just fades away
Thereā€™s a moon rising high
To keep you on your way
When youā€™re lost in a dream
When youā€™re lost in your head
Thatā€™s just the place that you are
And itā€™s the road youā€™re on
Thereā€™s a time to rest
Thereā€™s a time to move on

Climb on your tears
Like a ladder to a rose, baby
Climb on your tears
Like a ladder to a rose, baby
Climb on your tears
Like a ladder to a rose, baby
Climb on your tears
Wash all your fears away
Climb on your tears
Like a ladder to a rose, baby
Climb on your tears
Like a ladder to a rose, baby
Climb on your tears
Like a ladder to a rose, baby
Climb on your tears
Wash all your fears away

Totally agree. This is such a comfort at the worst time in my life and seeing some of the amazing songs that people are taking comfort from.
When I go to walk to my wifeā€™s grave, I always listen to my music and every song I used to really enjoy I am now hearing them in a different way.

I was listening to my music yesterday, and by random choice, the Eric Clapton song ā€˜Tears in heavenā€™ started and I literally broke down and wept like a baby!

Itā€™s a truly gorgeous song. And with the loss of my wife, I am hearing it in a totally different way now. Makes it even more emotional.

My living room suddenly got really smokey for a couple of minutes. Either that or the massive onion I decided to cut while listening to this - thatā€™s why my eyes are streaming!!! lol.
