These are the songs that spoke to me.

When I get where I'm going-Tim McGraw

I'll wait for you-Joe Nichols

You'll be there-George Straight

Last Dollar-Tim McGraw

So many songs have lifted me along the way. There is a beautiful version of "Will the Circle go Unbroken" on YouTube with Iris Dement and Michelle Wright that has lifts me up. Anything by Ray Charles but oh so sad usually. I am not sure whether I should listen to any more sad music. Can anyone listen to "What a wonderful world" and not completely fall apart?

I recently bought the James Blunt CD, All The Lost Souls. It's like he had Cathy and I in mind the whole time. We met and fell in love in 1973 at the age of 15 and spent the next 34 years together.
Also, Elton John's Funeral For a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding.

Listen to 'Hope' by Shaggy. It was my daughters idea and I love it because it is very upbeat and says to never give up.

my husbands favorite song was what we played at the memorial it was " i can only imagine" it's from a christian band Mercy Me i think. I still cry when i hear it.

I forgot....I also really like 'No more Cloudy Days' by the Eagles.

I met my husband in 1973 our first date was a Led Zepplin concert. On our 25th anniversary we had invitations printed with the words from their "Thank You" song..
"If the sun refused to shine
I would still be loving you
If the mountains crumbled to the sea
There would still be you and me
My Love is strong
With you there is no wrong
Together we shall go until we DIE"..
I cry everytime I hear it now.

some truly amazing songs... - I will gradually go through them all with utube and probably spend the evening in tears! .. hope others still leave there 'remember' songs as well...:0)...music is so evocative of memories ...and to change our mood.....feel so glad that everyone has shared their beautiful songs that mean so much...

Lately I have been playing Dr Hook. It was promo'd on the radio a couple of months ago, and it made me cry, as Peter had given me that lp years ago. Now I play it alot and love "Years from Now" even though it makes me cry. I also love John Denvers "Sweet Lady", it popped into my head one day while I had visited our old house, and sat by the beach thinking of all we did there. I did not know the words until I got back home and put the CD on..... oh boy, it was like Peter was singing it to me, so amazing. Also Rod Stewarts "When I need You".

Finding this time of year so hard, as he died on December 1 '05, it will be two years in a few weeks. That is why I play the music that makes me cry I think, I feel so sad right now.

oh goodness, just came in and found this post from Fantail...& am crying my eyes out just thinking of the song *when I need you*.....it is so so tough for you coming up to this anniversary and also with Christmas at the same time. I have been shopping with mum this afternoon and felt so low watching all the couples shopping together, but I often do feel ok, I know I have had that and dont begrudge anyone else. I thought I would be a bit better this year, but November is the time when John broke his ankle, setting in a process that led to his sudden death in February (well, this is my thought anyway, though I do realise he would have already have had this time bomb inside of him anyway)...this Xmas will be the first without his sister as well......maybe I had better just sit and play all these songs tonight and just let the tears fall....hugs to you Jazzy....it is still very early days for you....CXX
