So come on.. what song gets you, every time?

For me, it's got to be This Mortal Coil - Song to the Siren. (But I don't actually cry. Maybe just a very manly sniff. )

(As a favour to me, if you put a Youtube link, please also name the song & artist, as I can't see YT clips here!)
This makes me cry, Rolf Harris singing Stairway to Heaven:

You must be and must have a more romantic OH than I do and I am.

Mine is on his way home after 2 weeks and I'm thinking of a song on the lines of : Missed you but can get by without you. Got used to living without you. Glad to have you home coz now the trash is your job and not mine.

I sound like a cow don't I?

This is all a bit 'Our tune' isn't it?

A song that made a little tearful at the time as it spoke to a situation I found myself in. Unrequieted love and all that. Then I got over her.



For Jings.....James, "Tommorrow"
