What song makes you cry?

[Aurora63]

Last night I was in my car, and the song "Back to Pooh Corner" by Kenny Loggins came on, and I started crying...bawling really. Probably due to PMS and Dh and I discussing children (he now says he doesn't want them... ).

Anyway, what song makes you cry?

 

[beattyfamily]

"In my Daughter's Eyes" by Martina McBride

"Think of Laura" by Christopher Cross

"Mary, did you know" sung by Kathy Matea (sp?) and Clay Aken

That's off the top of my head...

The new song by Darryl Worley - "If something should happen"
It gives me chills and reduces me to blubbering



Buddy you and me go way back
Camp all June, all through highschool and before that.
So I don't mind tellin you I'm scared to death.
The doctor is goin in on the 25th
It's the same thing my daddy had
Thank God they caught it fast.

But if something should happen
Stop in some time and say hello to Catherine
You and Marianne could always keep her laughing
Because shes gonna need a lot of that
Take her out to a movie
It's gonna take sometime before shes back on her feet.
I know you think I'll be fine and I'm talkin crazy
But theres always that chance
That's why I'm askin
If something should happen

Little Nathan is growing up so fast
This November he'll turn 10
He wants to play quarterback.
I'm supposed to coach his team this fall
But I may not get to afterall
He's gonna need someone to catch a pass
And to throw it back

If something should happen
Oh promise me you'll take that boy out campin
Throw a line out in the water every now and then
Answer and questions that he has
Maybe once he gets older
You can sit and have that first cold beer together
And tell him a couple stories on his father
He's always known your my best friend.
That's why I'm askin
If something should happen

I hope I live until I'm 80
And I get to see my son get married
And have some babies
And make a million more memories with my wife.
Yeah buddy I pray alright
But if it's my time to leave
Could you watch over them for me?

If something should happen x6

Anna Begins by Counting Crows...

My friend assures me "it's all or nothing"
I am not worried, I am not overly concerned
My friend implores me: "For one time only make an exception"
I am not not worried
Wrap her up in a package of lies send her off to a coconut island
I am not worried, I am not overly concered
With the status of my emotions "Oh", She says, "You're changing."
But we're always changing


It does not bother me to say this isn't love
Because if you don't want to talk about it then it isn't love
And I guess I'm going to have to live with that
But, I'm sure there's something in a shade of grey or something in between
And I can always change my name if that's what you mean


My friend assures me "It's all or nothing"
But I am not really worried, I am not overly concerned
You try to tell yourself the things you tell yourself to make yourself forget
I am not worried
"If it's love", she said, "then were gonna have to think about the consequences"
She can't stop shaking and I can't stop touching her and.....


This time when kindness falls like rain
It washes her away and Anna begins to change her mind
"These seconds when I'm shaking leave me shuddering for days" she says
And I'm not ready for this sort of thing


But I'm not gonna break and I'm not going to worry about it anymore
I'm not gonna bend and I'm not gonna break
I'm not gonna worry about it anymore
It seems like I should say "as long as this is love..."
But it's not all that easy so maybe I should just:
Snap her up in a butter fly net and just pin her down on a photograph album
I am not worried, I've done this sort of thing before
But then I start to think about the consequences
Because I don't get no sleep in a quiet room and...


This time when kindness falls like rain
It washes me away and Anna begins to change my mind
And everytime she sneezes I believe it's it's love and
Oh lord.... I'm not ready for this sort of thing


She's talking in her sleep
It's keeping me awake and Anna begins to toss and turn
And every word is nonsense but I understand and
Oh lord... I'm not ready for this sort of thing


Her kindness bangs a gong
It's moving me along and Anna begins to fade away
It's chasing me away
She disappears and
Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing

It reminds me of someone.

Last night I was in my car, and the song "Back to Pooh Corner" by Kenny Loggins came on, and I started crying...bawling really.

That whole CD is fantastic!!! I buy it for every baby shower I have to go to.

As far as songs that make ME cry...It would have to be "Wind Beneath My Wings" by Bette Midler. My first boss' husband died and they played it at the funeral. I still think of that whenever I hear the song.

 

[MinnieM21]

Well it's mainly the music video that makes me cry. "God's Will" by Martina McBride.

 

[Shutterbug]

The one that starts out like this:

oompa loompa doopity doo....

Those oompa loompas are freaky!

I'm not a cryer or anything, but Blessid Union Of Souls - I Believe is pretty rough

In The Arms of An Angel by Sarah McLachlan.

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For the break that will make it ok
There's always some reason to feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction oh beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
They may be empty and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of an Angel fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference, escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees

In the arms of an Angel far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
In the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here

You're in the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here

 

[KittieKat]

AHh so many. Ill list my favorites:

"I dont wanna close my eyes" - Aerosmith
"Somewhere over the Rainbow" - Israel Kamakawiwiole? lol
"Unchained Melody" - The Righteous Brothers

And Finally...

"The Blowers Daughter" - Damien Rice:

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new

He's My Son. This song used to make me tear up a little, and i always thought of Benji, and all of his little delays and problems whenever I heard it.
Then Benji got the brain tumor and the song fit so well, it was spooky. I even posted the lyrics on his webpage.

He's My Son
Written by Mark Schultz

I'm down on my knees again tonight
I'm hoping this prayer will turn out right
See there is a boy that needs Your help
I've done all that I can do myself

His mother is tired
I'm sure You can understand
Each night as he sleeps
She goes in to hold his hand

And she tries not to cry
As the tears fill her eyes

Can You hear me?
Am I getting through tonight?
Can You see him?
Can You make him feel all right?
If You can hear me
Let me take his place somehow
See, he's not just anyone
He's my son

Sometimes late at night I watch him sleep
I dream of the boy he'd like to be
I try to be strong and see him through
But God who he needs right now is You

Let him grow old
Live life without this fear
What would I be
Living without him here

He's so tired and he's scared
Let him know that You're there

Can You hear me?
Am I getting through tonight?
Can You see him?
Can You make him feel all right?
If You can hear me
Let me take his place somehow
See, he's not just anyone
He's my son

Can You hear me?
Am I getting through tonight?
Can You see him?
Can You make him feel all right?
If You can hear me
Let me take his place somehow
See, he's not just anyone ...

Can You hear me?
Can You see him?
Please don't leave him
He's my son.

Lee Greenwood's 'Proud to be an American" brings a tear to my eye everytime.

 

[TheOtherVillainess]

"Butterfly Kisses"--not sure who it's by..Bob Carlisle? I can't listen to that song with out tearing up because it makes me think of all the stuff growing up my real dad missed..all the birthdays, all the Christmases, Easters, choir concerts..that sort of thing.

"I am Your Child"--Barry Manilow, which I understand even better now that I HAVE a kid of my own.

"Till You Come Back to Me Again"--Garth Brooks (from the Phenomenon sdtk)
That whole movie is so intense, especially the end

Ya know..until I heard Clay Aiken do "Mary Did You Know" during his Christmas special last year, I had NO idea that anybody else besides this one guitarist/singer at my mom's church knew that song. He'd been singing it at Christmas services for as long as I can remember. I thought it was something he wrote himself.

Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own - U2

The song was written by Bono when he found out his dad had terminal cancer. They didn't have the greatest relationship and they were working on patching things up. Bono's dad loved to listen to and sing opera music, it just breaks my heat when he sings:

"I know that we don’t talkI’m sick of it all
Can - you - hear - me – when – I -
Sing, you’re the reason I sing
You’re the reason why the opera is in me…"

He passed away in 2001 during the Elevation Tour. I've heard this song live a few times during U2's current tour and it gets me everytime. Definitely one of my all time fav's!!

Here's the full lyrics...

Tough, you think you’ve got the stuff
You’re telling me and anyone
You’re hard enough

You don’t have to put up a fight
You don’t have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don’t have to go it alone

And it’s you when I look in the mirror
And it’s you when I don’t pick up the phone
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own

We fight all the time
You and I… that’s alright
We’re the same soul
I don’t need… I don’t need to hear you say
That if we weren’t so alike
You’d like me a whole lot more

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don’t have to go it alone

And it’s you when I look in the mirror
And it’s you when I don’t pick up the phone
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own

I know that we don’t talk
I’m sick of it all
Can - you - hear - me – when – I -
Sing, you’re the reason I sing
You’re the reason why the opera is in me…

Where are we now?
I’ve got to let you know
A house still doesn’t make a home
Don’t leave me here alone...

And it’s you when I look in the mirror
And it’s you that makes it hard to let go
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own
Sometimes you can’t make it
The best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own
