I can't hold myself together when I hear "One" by U2 or "Simple Man" by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

What song, when played, goes straight to your heart? And why?

    "One" because it reminds me of a relationship that should have happened, but didn't/couldn't.

    "Simple Man" because I only want good things and honest character for my boys.

    "I Wonder" and "Mother's Day" - by Kellie Pickler

    This song goes straight to my heart because I literally feel her pain and sadness as she sings these songs, because her mother and my mother are a lot alike. That's all I'll say lol.

    I don't think there is a song that humbles me. Usually quite the opposite. The closest would probably be "Boys on the Dock" or "Heroes of Our Past" by Dropkick Murphys

    In the living years - Mike and the Mechanics

    I wasn't there that morning
    When my Father passed away
    I didn't get to tell him
    All the things I had to say

    I think I caught his spirit
    Later that same year
    I'm sure I heard his echo
    In my baby's new born tears
    I just wish I could have told him in the living years

    The Star-Spangled Banner

    This song moves me to tears because it serves as a poignant reminder of the many great men and women who sacrifice their lives for our freedom. It doesn't get any more beautiful than than.

    "Above All" Michael W. Smith
    "How Deep the Father's Love for us" Selah
    "You Loved me Anyway" Sidewalk Prophets

    It's humbling to think of that type of love and sacrifice being poured out for me.

    "Jesus, Friend of Sinners" by Casting Crowns

    This hits me hard every time. I can always think of a snap judgement I made about someone based on outward appearances or life cirmcumstances, and I know that's not how we were taught to live and love.

    "Go Rest High"

    This just reminds me of a good friend that we lost too soon, and this was fittingly played at his funeral. He struggled with schizophrenia his entire adult life and he knew all too well what it was like to "face the demons", it was almost a happy good bye knowing he was finally rid of that affliction.

    The song that humbles me the most is "Lucy" by Skillet. This is the song that is my oldest daughters memory song. I lost her while pregnant at a very young age. And I play this when I am missing her and wondering who she would have been.

    "Have I told you lately (that I love you)
    My aunt who passed away when I was 12 loved this song and used to sing it all the time. Every time I hear i still remember just how much I miss her.

    " I just called to say I love you"
    Similar reaason but it was my PaPa who used to sing it every time he called.

    "Tiny Dancer"
    Don't really know why it just has always been a favorite of mine and it is the one song I can never turn off

    What song, when played, goes straight to your heart? And why?

    Proud by Heather Small
    Bridge over troubled water by Simon Garfunkel

    They get me choked up.
