There are songs that never fail to break my heart... and

They're just generally so beautiful it hurts. They're not necessarily sad songs. Just, painfully beautiful. These are a few of my favourite ones...

• Bulletproof Weeks by Matt Nathanson
• Colorblind by Counting Crows
• Fast Car by Tracy Chapman
• How to Save a Life by the Fray
• To Build a Home by the Cinematic Orchestra
• Breathe Me by Sia
• Letting Cables Sleep by Bush
• Holocaust by Big Star
• Concrete Angel by Martina McBride
• Ruby's Arms by Tom Waits
• The Stable Song by Gregory Alan Isakov
• Who Said? by Pink
• Life After You by Daughtry
• Small Bump by Ed Sheeran
• Vienna by the Fray
• My Kind of Love by Emile Sande
• Broken Angel by Boyce Avenue

And these are just a few, but they never fail to get me into a wild state of emotion.
