[MP_]

One of my workmates had that as their wedding song

 

[FreoGirl]

I want this for my funeral song

 

[FreoGirl]

and this one if I get married again lol

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

I thought it was TubbsFarquhar because of The War On Drugs!

I've nommed them enough times, I want to make myself less predictable!

15 wonderful noms so far.
A big thanks to all getting votes in early.

For those who witnessed the travesty of my 1st hosting attempt, you'll appreciate why I need lots of alone time with my buddy Everest the Spread Sheet.

Looking ok so far. Using a Google Docs template someone kindly sent me after last hosting round.

So nom a song soon if you haven't, even if it's just to watch the possibility of another spectacular SC Host Crash!

Tonga Bob TubbsFarquhar por_please_ya and all you other lovely regulars like Loonerty and MP_

I only just saw this tag. Same with a few others, the turnaround is too short for me.

 

[Riviat]

Crap, should have nommed this. Always brings a tear to my eye

I saw them on this tour at the Wollongong show. It was fantastic.

But I could have nommed the opening act for this round, The Vasco Era. Such a horrendous live performance I almost cried.
Studio versions are fine, but my god that lead singer was not on this planet.
This one was particularly bad:


But this one, pretty good:

 

[Riviat]

It was an amazing and very emotional concert. Saw them in Canberra. So glad I went otherwise I would have regretted never seeing them live.

 

[Stokey]

Nommed too many times before but here are a couple I thought of

 

[Loonerty]

This one hits me pretty much every time:


Spotify once played this immediately after A-Punk by Vampire Weekend. Not sure you can get much more emotional whiplash than that.

 

[myblueroan]

Was gonna do

 

[Stokey]

This was off my favourite band's last album released posthumously after the lead singer committed suicide. Always gets me.

 

[spudmaster]

This one gets me everytime. Some people have all the luck.

 

[Plugger35]

I thought about nomming this song.




When I was a little kid my friend's older sister took us to see Watership Down at the cinema thinking it was like a Disney film.

That film and theme song made me cry back then but it also brings back PTSD flashbacks so I decided to pass on nomming it.

When I was about 7 or 8 I used to get shocking tonsilitis and massive fevers. I was sick one day in my parents bed and they had the clock radio on to the local radio station. There had been a boy who had died tragically and every 15 minutes they would play a bit of Bright Eyes as a tribute. As I was half awake and hallucinating with fever it was giving me nightmares. I still can't listen to it.

 

[Stokey]

Ennio Morricone has some great tearjerkers.

 

[Plugger35]

Growing up in the 80s I learnt not to cry.

Bernard Fanning is my absolute favourite. He is touring at the end of the year with Paul Dempsey

Omg, I got taken to that as a kid too

Similarly, when Back One Out nommed this in the SC I teared up listening.

The saddest song I've ever heard. Have tried to avoid it ever since listening to it when "Carrie and Lowell" was released.
