What songs make you cry

For me Mr Bojangles sung by Nina Simone gets me every time.

Sufjan Stevens's Casimir Pulaski Day also sets me off.

And the other day I was watching a music channel and they were playing all the usual poppy nonsense like Rhianna umbrella hey hey hey when all of a sudden on came Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush, Don't Give Up and that was it I was gone! Well done Pete fab song!

A song that makes me cry....

Sometimes you can't make it on your own by U2.

It's not so much that it's sad. It's just very precise. If that makes any sense. Oh well *Sigh*

over the years there have been many, but now it is Dinner at Eight. Even tho I've played it many many times, still cant stop the tears at the end.

What songs make you cry

For me it is "Every time we say goodbye" especially when sung by Ella Fitzgerald or Billie Holiday!!!!

What song makes you cry

for me it's got to be ' The last time ever I saw you face' by Roberta Flack, George Michael covered it on that album he did of covers years ago and try as I might to sing along with it I never could get to the end as I would be sobbing about half way through, the lyrics are beautiful, I'm filling up now just thinking about it ...........

What songs make you cry

This is slightly embarrassing and I probably shouldn't share... but this morning on the tube I've got the ipod going and I'm currently on the c's (I am currently running through my entire ipod selection from a-z, anal I know) anyway I'm feeling a bit down today as i'm unwell blah blah blah and on comes ...........Coat of Many Colours by Dolly Parton, and I just couldn't stop myself.

I'm just glad no one stopped to ask if i was alright.

songs that make me cry

hmmm actually The Art Teacher had me practically crying the very first time i ever heard it!
but recently i was listening to verdi's requiem mass (yes rufus likes it too) on my ipod, just me alone with my headphones. I'm not sure, I think it was around X.Dies Irae - Lacrymosa, the music just swelled to this crescendo and leontyne price's voice was just ringing through and for some reason i just started sobbing. it was soooo crazy. :s
i think i was also feeling down because i was thinking abt this guy... it's complicated, but yea, now everytime i whip out the opera... i'm cautious ;)

Crazystairs, There doesn't even have to be a guy, listening to Leontyne Price would bring tears to anyone's eyes. When she retired, I heard her sing her last Aida at the met....you talk about sobbing, it was bastket case time. Anyway, no true music lover can keep dry eyes during Verdi' Requiem.

About two years ago, I lost my dear husband to cancer. And now I cannot hear "What'll I Do" without welling up. Especially as sung by the McGarrigle Family. But that is OK. I feel really good when it is over.
