[QUOTE 3413322, member: 259"]I'm not a Beatles fan, but one of my oldest memories is of my big brother coming back from a six months long stint in the Merchant Navy and buying this single in Southampton on the way back home. Every time I hear it I feel I'm whisked back to being a small kid. They played Todd Rundgren's version a few moments ago when I was in the car and I all but burst into tears.
Any tunes that get the waterworks going for you?

Aw, yes but won't tell.

I went to see Dr Feelgood, supported by the Max Hatcher Band
Atthe interval the two bands came on stage and announced that the band Lynnrd Skynnrd had been involved in an air crash and early reports where that severall mebers of the band had died
The two bands then stood silently whilst Freebird was played
I had sen them at Knebworth the previous year, and it was always a good song, but this event changed its meaningful lyrics into something evocative.
Even now almost 40 years later the song still brings a tear to the eye

You know the word nostalgia first meant an illness. A few years ago, when driving to Hemel Hempstead this popped up on a random play list on my iPod. Despite being a Joe Jackson fan, I hadn't consciously heard it before. Tears ran down my cheeks.

Oh, same effect now, even without Hemel Hempstead.

On the night my first boy was born I listened to this track driving home from the hospital. It has the same effect on me 15 years later that it had then. Music has this power.

Love Joe Jackson.
Yesterday......The Beatles. My elder brothers favourite. He died aged 39 from a brain haemorage . I didn't know he was my brother until after his death. He was born to my mum when she was 16 and unmarried so my Gran and Grandad adopted him and I believed he was my uncle. We couldn't have been closer but still feel so sad not to have known him as a brother.

Should this not have been a "Friday Night is Songs that...." thread?
