Another Fan Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Jack Johnson's Upside Down did it to me some years back. It's the theme from the Curious George movie. The song reminded me that all things are still possible. Was a much needed kick me in the butt at the time 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LI_Bills Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I became a huge JJ fan based solely on the Curious George soundtrack. I've bought everything he puts out ever since. BTW, he is overdue. Â When I saw him play Upside Down live it brought a tear to my eye thinking of my kids (couples night out). Â I associate a lot of fond memories of my life with JJ songs. I make slide shows and DVDs for family vacations and JJ songs are often the background music. I've shed a tear on many occasions with songs like Better Together as the background to great memories, First slideshow I ever were made was to Upside Down and my kids at Sesame Place. Â Putting JJ aside, I was recently at Wrigley Field for a Cubs game and shed a tear at the 7th inning stretch when they did the Harry Caray "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" tribute. It was my first game at Wrigley having watched games on TV since my youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheElectricCompany Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt", Clapton "Tears in Heaven". Chris Stapleton did "Either Way" when we saw him at Red Rocks, pretty moving. I don't think he needed a microphone, he could have filled that venue without it.

Gugny Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 "Maybe I'm Amazed" - Such a beautiful, meaningful song. Made me cry whilst seeing/hearing Macca sing it live. Â "Tears in Heaven" - It was always a bit of a tear-jerker. But now that I've got a son of my own, it hits me a lot harder whenever I hear it (which is very rarely). Â "In My Life" - Really gets me thinking and realizing how many friends I've had to say goodbye to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 "The Book of Love" by Peter Gabriel, especially when it was featured in Scrubs. "Cat's In The Cradle" - Harry Chapin "What A Wonderful World" - Louis Armstrong  I am sure there are way more, but those 3 immediately came to mind New album is due out in September.

Kirby Jackson Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) I don't mean to be all depressing but it makes for a great memory. She passed in October of 2015 (actually during that Bengals game). It was a really aggressive brain tumor. At any rate we would put those songs (and others) on for her and just sit there with her. In hospice they even had a singer come and play some of them for her. She really loved them and I think that it helped comfort her. Â Long story short my sister had all of my aunts and family friends in Cleveland last week for the Billy Joel concert.

SoTier Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Somebody already mentioned "Amazing Grace", and I'll second that. I'll also add the beautiful Catholic hymn, "The Prayer of St Francis". Â For more modern music, ie, country, since that's what I mostly listen to, I would say songs about the aftermath of lost love or unrequited love ... Doug Stone's "I Thought It Was You" or Eric Church's "Give Me Back My Hometown" or Dan Seals' "Everything That Glitters" or Keith Whitley's "Don't Close Your Eyes".
