Subject: What songs leave a lump in your throat?
This is a question that appeals to the vulnerability in all of us.
'What song(s), when you listen to them, make you remember certain parts of your life (events etc)?'
I will go first to show my emotional intrepidness . . .
'Always on my mind' - Pet shop boys
'Don't you just know it' - Amazulu
'King of wishful thinking' - Go west
'Sacrifice' - Elton John
I will definitely look forward to your replies. :)

No. I wouldn't ask for personal information, Borris66au.
'Do they know it's Christmas' - Band Aid. Reminds me of . . . Christmas at home oddly enough. A special time 1985/1986.
Thanks for sharing. ;)
Subject: Re: What songs leave a lump in your throat?
It's been a while since it happened to me. When it happens, it ususally happens upon the first time I listen to the song.
I remember it being:
# The Captain Of Her Heart - ???
# Where The Wild Roses Grow - Nick Cave & Kylie Minogue
# Somebody To Love - Queen (It actually happened much later. I never paid much attention to the lyrics, until someone asked me for a translation of them.)
# Brothers In Arms - Dire Straits
Subject: Re: What songs leave a lump in your throat?
Hello RockPrincess!
When you put the 'question mark' smiley next to 'Captain of my heart' are you looking for the group? The group is called 'Double'.

Random thought:
I really like this song, I think it's very moving and touching, and Bette Midler does a great job.
But Watt sang it and recorded it to mp3 and sent it to me, and it was one of the funniest things I had ever heard ;D
Subject: Re: What songs leave a lump in your throat?
Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. Music is an amazing memory enhancer which helps us remember, not only the bad times but the meaningful times. Without music, there definitely would be no soul to human beings. (Pardon the pun on soul - ha ha!)
'Alone' by Heart is a powerful song from 1987. The power ballads of that particular time evoke something from me. Examples include 'I knew you were waiting' by George Michael/Aretha Franklin and 'Nothing's gonna stop us now' by Starship.
Good stuff! :)
Subject: Re: What songs leave a lump in your throat?
well, the first thing that came to mind ws;
"No one is to Blame" by Howard Jones
I was a teenager and loved this one girl that I was so close to, but so very far away.

There are ways to find humor in just about everything, and I think that is a good thing!! And, maybe I'm as cheeseball for saying this, but I think Weird Al proves that point all the time! Keep the laughter!! :) ;D :) ;D

I'm very sorry to hear of your dad passing away, Starlight. It reminds me of the effect 'Gypsy Woman' by Don Williams has on me - It was my late grandad's favourite song.
Subject: Re: What songs leave a lump in your throat?
Anything from Van Halen.
Reminds me of my first love and a very good time in my life. :)
If we could only go back in time how much more fun we would of had.
Subject: Re: What songs leave a lump in your throat?
These songs have a private meaning to me. I have associated them with certain strong emotional periods in my life... they usually revolve around lost loves, etc. So when I get into a reflective mood they tend to make me relive those particular moments. As you can see "love" is a predominant theme in the list.
"All Of My Love" - Led Zeppelin
"I'm Not In Love" - 10cc
"Hammer On A Drum" - Paul Hyde & The Payola$
"You're The Only Love" - Paul Hyde & The Payola$
"Crying Out For Love" - The Box
"Lust For Love" - Images In Vogue
"World's Away" - Strange Advance
And finally, although not 80's oriented, "Little Light of Love" by Eric Serra (end theme from "The Fifth Element") always reminds me of when my infant son, Chris, passed away in my arms last August. :'(
Subject: Re: What songs leave a lump in your throat?
I don't think this one is from the 80's, but:
"Who Wants To Live Forever" by Queen.
I first heard it about an hour after I learned a childhood friend had just died of AIDS that he got from a blood transfusion. :'( I still can't listen to it without crying.
Another one, that I know is not 80's is:
"Indian Princess" by Monsoon featuring Sheila Chandra
It is about a woman who is widowed at a very young age, and very closely describes the lonliness and despair a friend of mine is going through, now that she is a widow at 35. :'(
Subject: Re: What songs leave a lump in your throat?
Not all 80's but...........
The Beatles - In my life
The Beatles - Here, there and everywhere
Gabrielle - Rise
Whitney Houston - I will always love you
Van Morrison - Have I told you lately that I love you
Madonna - Nothing Fails
Madonna - Little Star
REM - Everybody Hurts
Wings - Silly love songs
? - Take my breath away

OMG, how could I forget this song! :-[ It's absolutely one of my all-time favourites.
And yes, it's 80's. 1986, to be precise. ;)
I'm so sorry about your friend.

"Hammer On A Drum" - Paul Hyde & The Payola$End Quote
This song is actually called "Where Is This Love?" I also mentioned it in my post of weepy songs. :) The song does feature that line, but it's not called that.
He's home again
He's drunk again
He's bouncing off the walls again
A fist falls down like a hammer on a drum
A hammer on a drum
Where is this love that will open the doors?
Where is this love that makes me cry out for more?
Where is this love that comes from above?
Where is this looooooooove?
I commend you for typing the band's name as it should be. I almost did that, but I decided not to for whatever reason. A good song by a mediocre Canadian band. I preferred their very early stuff myself ("China Boys," etc.) I loved your Images In Vogue choice though! ;D

Thanks AV! I just corrected that in my MP3 files. It's a great song. I've been searching Kazaa for the video for it.
This may sound strange, but do you recall if the video for Images In Vogue's "Lust For Love" had a tarantula in it? I'm trying to remember a video where a guy had a tarantula crawling over him and I think it was in this video. :)

Yes, a tarantula does make an appearance crawling over someone in the "Lust For Love" video, but I couldn't tell you at which point. Was it in the courtroom maybe? It was a very artistically done video. I really like Images In Vogue, by the way...I think they were one of the only truly "new wave" groups to come out of this country! I have just about everything they've recorded on vinyl. :)

I forgot Cheap Tricks "The Flame" :'( That one kills me.
Natalie Merchants "Beloved Wife" is another one.

Toni Braxton - Breathe Again (I literally burst out crying once after hearing this song, and it takes a lot for me to cry)
Bangles - Eternal Flame
Randy Crawford - I've Never Been To Me
Subject: Re: What songs leave a lump in your throat?
Tears in Heaven will make me cry forever. Soon after it was released my friends baby died of SIDS. I always think of her when this song is played.
Anything by Steve Goodman makes me get all teary. He's mostly 70's but has some 80s songs including Go Cubs Go.
If anyone knows the name of the following song I will be your friend for life and name my next child or next dog after you.
"These are the days of the endless summer
these are the days the time is now
There is no past there's only the future
there's only here there's only now"
This was played when the cubs won the 1989 division title and I've been trying to find it ever since!
Subject: Re: What songs leave a lump in your throat?
Wow! I think I'd better add a couple more to the list . . .
'Turn back the clock' - Johnny Hates Jazz
'Angel eyes' - Wet Wet Wet
'Never gonna give you up' - Rick Astley
'You win again' - Bee Gees

"little drummer boy" has to be done by a choir. it leaves me in chills as well.
"wild is the wind" david bowie. the song reminds me of her
"when the tigers broke free" pink floyd. strong anti-war song. i cry thinking about the sacrifice made by the troops.
"ava maria" this classical piece floors me. i weep like a baby whenever i see the end of fantasia.
Subject: Re: What songs leave a lump in your throat?
If you're just referring songs from the 80s, it's Cheap Trick's "The Flame" for me. Just listen to the lyrics.
