"You Were Always On My Mind"

Nightswimming by REM. I have no idea why, but it gets me every time.

Please Don't Go - KC and the Sunshine Band.

I was putting my son on a bus with a bunch of crying people saying goodbye to their kids that were reporting to their military posts. I held it together for 3 hours. The bus left, I got in the car and it started to rain. Hard rain. I put on the radio and this song was playing. I cried my ass off all the way home. Hysterical crying. My son and I were tight. I felt like my best friend was leaving. I could hardly breathe.

We were moving to another state in 3 days. I think I had a nervous breakdown. My heart was so broke. I actually contemplated killing myself but I had another kid to think about and a husband that was feeling like I was only he looked at this as an adventure. He saw life, I felt gloom.

I think I cried every day for a year. Love the song, don't listen to it. Never told anyone this story.

What a powerful story. I totally get it. Not laughing. Sharing a tear with you. Thanks for sharing.

I'm getting emotional just reading these posts.

Mine is "Come Away with Me" by Nora Jones. It was playing in the background in the hospital room of my dear friend's daughter as she lay dying at age 6. I always felt that Nora Jones' voice was softly beckoning the little girl. She died a couple of hours later.

I'm crying as I write this because that night was so emotional.

I was coming to post this song. This song not only makes me cry, but makes me feel guilty as $hit for all of the times I am 'too busy' to do stuff with my kids. I actually refuse to listen to it because it depresses the hell out of me.

- the guilt of a working mom

I opened this thread to post this. In fact, I'm starting to sniffle now just thinking about it. Hate when they play it at the grocery store, too.

Yes. You must be my age. Such a melancholy and sad song.

Goodbye to you my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we've climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABC's
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
Goodbye my friend it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there

We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time

When Frozen first came out, I couldn’t sing along to “Let It Go” without crying. I have no idea why.
