Songs that emotionally cut you

Run for home by lindisfarne. Back in the day(1978) we were just 18 years old, my best mate sung this song constantly, every pub we visited this song was put on the jukebox great days.
Sadly he lost his life 18 year ago. Now every time I hear this song I think of him, cuts me in two, on one hand sad because he's no longer with us, on the other it fills me with joy remembering him singing away at the top of his voice, I can picture him now. God bless him.
 
This meant a lot to my mam and dad, I assume from their courting days. I was stood in a town square in Belgium a couple of years ago listening to a British school orchestra and they struck up with it; my legs buckled beneath me.
 
This is a great thread. Yes the songs cut up you due to individual circumstances. But they also revive so many great memories. Its all so great to see which songs helped others through troublesome times. Thanks to the OP.
It was a drunken YouTube night and ended up going down the musical rabbit hole, but they’re usually the best for finding new stuff.

On an unrelated note thanks to YouTube I’ve realised my lockdown hair/beard combo is now at unkempt prime Kenny Rodgers length
