We asked our readers what song always fills them with emotion, whether because of the lyrics or being associated with a heartfelt memory. Here’s what they said.
Kathryn Sands – Dance with my Father by Luther Vandross.
Carol Hanson – Amazing Grace. Was played on the bagpipes at my mum’s funeral.
Matthew Walter – Probably “When You Kiss Me” by Shania Twain, as it’s the song my wife walked down the aisle to on our wedding day. The other one would be “What I Never Knew I Always Wanted” by Carrie Underwood, which played after my son was born. Just sums up parenthood perfectly!
Patricia Sundin – “I was only 19”. Makes me think of all my friends who were conscripted to go to fight in Vietnam. Not a happy time.
Janette Willis – What a Wonderful World – Louis Armstrong.
Trish Watts – If Tomorrow Never Comes by Garth Brooks.
Jan Palmer – Imagine by John Lennon.
Adelle Ellmers – Sounds of Silence cover by Disturbed. Played at my husband’s funeral. It was one of his favourites.
Gay Sharran Gold – At Last…. I have to turn it off when it plays. My daughter married her partner two days before she died and had that playing for their song.
Heather Widjaja – Monsters by James Blunt. Always reminds me of the last days of my Dad’s life.
Jeanette Heaton – Forever Young by Bob Dylan. Reminds me of my beloved – lost too soon.
Laraine Hughes – Because by Mario Lanza. Walked down the aisle and played at my beloved husband’s funeral. Started and ended our life together.
Rhonda Leaman – Somewhere Over The Rainbow from The Wizard of Oz.
