Ave Maria is one for me. It was the song played at my wife and I’s wedding and one of the several songs I picked out for my dad’s funeral. Most every song I picked out for my dad’s funeral will make me emotional. One is “Thank You For Being My Dad” by Jon Barker.

Me too. I have a strong emotional tie to this song and, even though it is great, it is very hard for me to listen to.

Taps gets me, but something more contemporary - Don’t Take the Girl by Tim McGraw.
Of course, song’s situationally can get you going. My favorite group has been Electric Light Orchestra from the mid ‘70’s, and it is led by Jeff Lynne. We saw ELO last year in Houston, and we were shocked how feeble he has become.
Jeff messed up the lyrics once, and he said he was sorry. I’ve seen him three times before and have watched countless videos, and that was the first time I’ve ever seen him make a mistake like that. He sang Can’t Get it Out of My Head, and the center went quiet hearing him feebly sing it. Cell phone lights were swaying in the air and many were crying, including me. Love you Jeff!

Yes Sir. My oldest son in his mid forties doesn't have much time for me anymore, but when I was his age I was the same. But I think the generation gap was much wider. My parents were teenagers in the 1930's. My mother thought Elvis Pressley was the spawn of Satan.

I thought The Real Life were the ones responsible for “Send me and Angel?” Either way, it’s a great song.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

The song Scarborough Fair actually stopped my singing it in an open mic class. I had recently broken up with a girlfriend at the time and trying to play it was impossible. Since that time, I got over it and played it at an open mic with a friend.
