The live version of Candle In The Wind. Never been a huge Elton fan, not that I don't admire and enjoy his work. Just a little too commercial for me. But when I first heard the live solo recording of Candle, it really hit me how heart felt and unusual it was, to write a love song to Norma Jean.
I would have liked to have known you, but I was just a kid. Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did.
I’m a massive Elton John fan. Have a listen to his really early stuff from around 1970, just before he became really famous - not as commercial, but quite classy.

Zac Brown Band / My Old Man

Probably because both are about the relationships between fathers and sons... I never had a great relationship with my father and I kinda f**ked up with one of my own sons.
Not quite the same thing but many of Hans Zimmer's mournful soundtracks make me weepy...

The Living Years is such a powerful song. Never heard of the Zac Brown Band, so thanks for introducing them to me.
I understand the father son thing - my own father left me when I was a baby.

This being Memorial Day weekend, I've got to go with ...
Bruce Springsteen: The Wall - https://youtu.be/GR7liJUaZ3A
As I previously stated on hownos' 3 Favorite Springsteen Songs thread, two of my childhood friends' names are carved on that wall.
Thus this song (and video) gets me every time.
I’ve recently been working through my Springsteen collection and was listening to this the other day.
shareLinda Ronstadt - Long long time, try me again
Adele - All I Ask, One and only
Poison - Every rose has it's thorn
Jim Croce - Operator
Ambrosia - How much I feel
Little River Band - Lonesome loser
Def Leppard - Two steps behind
Some great picks.
shareRonstadt has a lot of heartbreaking songs. Lose Again and Someone to Lay Down Beside Me (both written by Karla Bonoff) bookend the 1976 album Hasten Down The Wind. And while getting my facts straight, I was reminded of another --
"Some say the Heart is just Like A Wheel -- once you bend it, you can't mend it," etc.
