Is there any song that have a hard time listening to or any movie that you have a hard time watching because it reminds you someone that you had lost?

One of the girls in my high school graduating class committed suicide our senior year. She studied ballet devoutly, so they played Tiny Dancer at her funeral. I can’t listen to it anymore…

My ex-boyfriend had severe problems associated with diabetes and he knew he wouldn’t live to be old. His favorite song was “Seasons in the Sun” by Terry Jacks. I wish they had played it at his funeral. That’s a song that could make ya tear up anyway, though, even if it didn’t mean anything personally.

At my best friends funeral her little sister performed “Hear You Me” by Jimmy Eat World. It still gets to me every time it comes on.

Rocket Man was played at my father’s funeral, and it’s really difficult for to listen to now.

Too many :S

Rocky. My guardian happened to be at church on a Sunday night that it was on, and my cousin and I were home alone watching it on TV. Our other aunt called the house and told us tell her to come home. We did, and when she returned, we found out that our grandfather had died of a heart attack maybe 10 minutes before the first call.

I went to Ensenada, Mexico last year it was the first time back there since I had gone with my first spouse. I was sitting alone in a Cantina we once frequented and a Mexican radio station was playing all Spanish music.

Suddenly out of the blue “November Rain” came on and played. It was like time had twisted around. That was one of the songs we played most and the lyrics suddenly took on a very personal meaning. Once the song ended the Spanish music continued. It was a moment that still makes me think to this day that those who have passed before us are closer than we think.

My cousin sang Somewhere Out There at her fathers funeral. She was maybe 9 years old at the time.
That one Sarah Mclaughin (sp?) Arms of the Angel song makes me cry because it reminds me of my grandma, and also that SPCA commercial.

My father used to be a big fan of Neil Diamond music and when he died of cancer, we played the song “Hello Again” at his funeral. Ever since that day, whenever I hear one of Neil’s songs, I always think about my father.

Terms of Endearment – as soon as Debra Winger found out she had cancer I was done. I cannot watch any movie that has to do with a mother leaving her children walking out but especially dying. I pretty much can’t watch anything about women with cancer. I also always tear up when I hear Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol, The Luckiest and Brick by Ben Folds.

“if you’re not the one” by daniel bedingfield. long story… :(

Every movie I watched with my father (there are so friggin’ many) are proving to be tough.
Also movies where people pass, because the familiar feeling beats through the movie and through me and I just start getting emotional.

In He’s Just Not That Into You just yesterday, Jennifer Anistan’s character is told by her dad that she’s his favorite daughter- I used to tell my dad he was my favorite dad in the world, he’s reply saying he was my only dad and I was his favorite daughter in the world, I’d say back to him well dad I’m your only daughter! Haha. Oh pops. But anyways, then after that happens in the movie, her father has a heartattack and she rushes to him. That reminded me of the times he had seizures and I had to run to him and obviously also during his last days alive. The scene was brief in the movie but of course I pussed up and cried from it.

Cow Girl by Brookes and Dunn that just came out. That one screams “Dad” in a good way and makes me feel like he’s here with me but still makes me sad. Also Tim McGraw’s “My Little Girl” We both first heard the song driving in the car together, how crazy is that? Also! Haha, Brad Praisley’s “The World,” He dedicated that one to me.

Sorry I got WAY TOO indepth in this answer.

My Immortal by Evanessense

“The Living Years” by Mike and the Mechanics

I had recently lost my father when I heard that song. It brought me to tears more than once in public places.

Carolina in My Mind and Fire and Rain. Wtf, James Taylor? Why you gotta do me like that?

@TitsMcGhee every time I used to hear Fire and Rain I wondered if one of the legends behind it was true. I heard the one linked, but I have also heard it was about a girl who was in a mental institution with James Taylor and disappeared one morning never to be heard from again. Later he learned she committed suicide. Apparently neither story is true, but that doesn’t make the song any less sad and tear provoking.

@SuperMouse. Fire and Rain is such a beautiful song. Here is some information on the origins of the song that I found at Wikipedia and more information that I found at Songfacts.

This one just kills me:

Its from Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The Count, Gary Oldman, says to Elisabeth, his true love, which goes “I have traveled oceans to be with you”.

Hurts like hell. Makes me think of what could have been.

The movie Big Fish reminds me of my dad. I hadn’t seen it,and one night my son called me and told me that he’d seen it 3 times and couldn’t watch it without crying because it reminded him so much of his grandfather.

I watched it, and my son was right. The main character in Big Fish told outlandish tales that ended up being true at the end. My dad told outlandish tales and when he took me to visit his home town, I found out that a lot of them were true—including the one about his cousin who lives in ½ of a house.

We visited that cousin. The back part of his house had fallen off and was in shambles in his back yard. He’d never bothered to fix it or have it fixed. He lives in a small town, so no one bothers him about it.
