For some reason Amazing Grace can cause occasional eye moistness as can The Rose (but I suspect that was because it was the last song at my cousins funeral). Nothing else springs to mind.

• "Calaf's Aria" from Turandot - ("Nessun Dorma" to you lot)
• "Au Fond du Temple Saint" from Bizet's Pearl Fishers - It was my Dad's favourite
• 4th Movement from Beethoven's 9th Symphony - because of the lyrics
• "Swan" from Saint-Saëns' "Carnival of the Animals" - it's what Mrs. Bucket came down the aisle to
• Gorecki's 2nd Symphony - because it's about the Holocaust
• "Intermezzo" from "Cavalleria Rusticana"

But the absolute worst is "Adagio of Phrygia & Spartacus" from "Spartacus"

For an entirely coincidental reason, that's just reminded me of pretty much the only song I know that has ever had that kind of effect on me - 'This Woman's Work' by Kate Bush.

I don't usually cry because of music, but after my dog died Nickelback's "Photograph" would bring me to tears every time without fail.

It depends on a number of factors really. I can hear a song that does nothing but then hear it in different circumstances and get a different reaction.

Puff Daddy - I'll be Missing You is one which got me as it was played a lot when my then best friend was killed and then Guns 'N' Roses - Dont Cry as it was played when I helped carry his coffin into the church.

He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother. by the Hollies. It shouldn't require any explanation really, but then again, I should clarify it's not for personal reasons.

We did recently have a bereavement, and for a short while, we wondered whether medication had caused the death. I was stupid enough to listen to the Verve's "The Drugs Don't Work" and the line ... they just make you worse, had me in bits. If it had turned out to be the tablets, I would never have been able to listen to that song again.

I don't know when it started, or why, but there's a couple of tunes that can kick me off.

The Last Post, played on a lone bugle at remembrance parades.

Then Elgar's Enigma Variation IX, Nimrod. (I think it's the same association as the Last Post.)

Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings, Opus 11 is another tear-jerker. It's a bit over-used on the telly for sad stuff now.

Ironically, Holst's Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity, also tends to turn on the waterworks. The middle section, where it gets to the good tune - that's the one.

Parisienne walkways. For no other reason than I was halfway through listening to it on the way to a hospital appointment for my son; which was when we found out he had MD.

When I started the car, the song resumed and I bubbled like a little girl. It still gets me, purely through association with the memory.

Nope, can't think of any. Oh, maybe bright eyes when all the bunnies were dying but that was some time ago for me.
