What songs make you cry?

[DawnM]

I just listened to Dan Fogelberg's Same Old Lang Syne and I have tears in my eyes.

There are other songs that make me cry.

How about you?

 

[Kitty 34]

Star Spangled Banner......still reminds me of the day I hugged my son good bye as he left for the Air Force. Gosh that's been 5 years now and I'm so proud of him but I still cry when I hear the song.

Lately, it's this one. My DMom passed away 10 days ago and one of the Grandkids came up with this for the video tribute:

Not only does it remind me of so much that I took for granted (she was an awesome mother ) but it also really evokes my deepest heart for my own DS...somebody please pass the kleenex!

 

[dotfurio]

Dixie Chicks are one of a handful of county artists I like. This song gets me every time.

 

[MataHari22]

Tears In Heaven, I cannot even stand to listen to it. A song from when I was little that used to really upset me, was Wildfire. Used to make me cry and I'd just be so scared and upset, I'd always ask my parents to take it off or change the station. I don't like to listen to it now, either.

Christmas Shoes
I Hope you Dance
The Dance
Skin by Rascal Flatts

Mary Did You Know

 

[MochaDrinker]

"he stopped loving her today" by George Jones gets me every time.

 

[MinnieMouse84]

The entire scores of the Broadway musicals The Light in the Piazza and The Bridges of Madison County. And "For Good" from Wicked.

 

[tinkerbellandeeyor]

My heart will go on

 

[DisneyOma]

Puff the Magic Dragon. Yes, I'm pathetic.

 

[E&Cmom]

When You Wish Upon A Star

 

[diz8297]

For Good from Wicked, See You Again-Carrie Underwood.

 

[Gumbo4x4]

Amazing Grace





On the bagpipes

 

[Bluestars]

The Little Girl by John Michael Montgomery. I am not a religious person, but I have cried many times while listening to this song.

 

[porschegrl]

Three spring to mind immediately (although, unfortunately, I'm guessing nobody else here is familiar with them---no validation for porschegrl!):

Soul & Fire, by Sebadoh
Driveway to Driveway, by Superchunk
Navidad Sin Ti, by Los Bukis

 

[catfan98]

The song on the animal shelter commercial...I think it's In the Arms of an Angel by Sarah Mclachlan.

And Amazing Grace. Every time.

 

[Gumbo4x4]

So sorry for your loss.

 

[MataHari22]

Amazing Grace

On the bagpipes

My step mom gets upset with that, too. It reminds her of a friend's child's funeral. She doesn't even really like to hear any bagpipes now.

 

[AppleDumpling]

There are a few I can think of.

Danny Boy

Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley

Imagine by John Lennon

Only Time by Enya. Will always remind me of 9/11 because it was used in several tribute videos and documentaries on the events of that horrible day.

And I second (or third) For Good from Wicked, which was played at the funeral of a close friend.

 

[ronandannette]

So sorry for your loss.

Thanks. Did you listen to the song? Let me know if you wept.
