Songs that break your heart/send you to that special place

Post by tsktsk »

Always, always, with out a doubt, "Cause I Love You" by Lenny Williams. That song breaks my heart, crushes it, then tapes it back together.
Who knew a song could be so powerful.
Music is life as we know it...and books :D...art on the whole really.

So, what song breaks you up so bad that you can't function XD and what song takes you to that special place inside that's all warm and bubbly like?

P.S "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol is my special place.

Absolutely fantastic song and even though McGowan has become a raving drunk from the royalties its more than worth it!

I remember dancing to this song at 5am last Christmas at the work party....good times!

Thanks! Its a quote from a tv show, as for the song you may not have heard of the name but if you heard the song on the radio it may sound familiar to you, they play it over here in Ireland constantly from november onwards.

"I'm Okay" by Christina Aguilera. Even if you're not a fan of hers, check it out. She actually cried towards the end of the recording and they left it in the final cut. I also teared up a bit while listening.

Cat's in the Cradle - Harry Chapin
Cancer - My Chemical Romance
Final Transmission - Street Dogs



There are so many songs out there that move me, some to tears, but Cat's Cradle does it every time. You listen to it and it just makes you think about your Pops and where you are in life and if you're as close to your Dad as you should be, a truly amazing song.

I've known quite a few people who've lost to cancer and almost every time I hear this song I can't help but think "What if this were me".

Final Transmission is a song about a man who goes to Afghanistan and doesn't make it back. He puts a letter to his parents under his helmet, his "final transmission". It's heartbreaking to listen to sometimes.
"When the give you things, ask yourself why.
When you're grateful to them for giving you the things you should already have anyway, ask yourself why."
