Be it the music or the lyrics or the singers voice, what song/s stop you in your tracks every time? Mine are:
Don McLean – Vincent. The lyrics get me every time

Rose Royce – Wishing on a Star. Her voice is ethereal

Summersett – I am Comin’ Over. The lyrics have a really sad twist right at the end and the song itself is so moving. Such an amazing duo and so incredibly underrated

“I cried the other night
I can’t even say why

My night is coloured headache grey
Don’t wake me with so much”
