Quinn Morani Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I saw a few music threads today, not all of which I've posted to yet (but I will). And in digging through my music library, I stumbled across a couple of songs that never fail to bring tears to my eyes.Don't laugh that this first one is Barry Manilow. It's a haunting tune set to a poem by Johnny Mercer, and it rips me apart every time I hear it, as I imagine either Zeke or myself alone in our twilight years, without the other.This beautiful song by singer/songwriter John Gorka was shared with me by a friend several years ago as inspiration for a project we were working on together at the time. The project fell through, but the song still resonates with me deeply.What songs make YOU cry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinn Morani Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 I'm on my iPad trapped in the doctor's office for a while, so I can't see most of these embedded Youtube videos at the moment. (<grumble>Stupid Apple, not supporting Flash.</grumble>) So I have no idea if this one duplicates something one of you already posted. But another song guaranteed to require hankies is Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle. I'll come back later when I'm at a real computer and edit to add a YouTube link. Edited to add YouTube link, finally: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DQ Darwin Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Quinn you should have put a disclaimer on this post, some kind of warning like "DON"T READ AT WORK". What lovely music, just lovely. I, like others are, am emotionally attached to music as it will signify a time, a place, a feeling, a loss, a gain, a wish or a hope. I will have to post tonight because they do make me cry. Thanks for getting folks to place a bit of their heart out here..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishtara Rothschild Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Great idea There is nothing like a good cry to cheer me up. It's like taking a cold shower in the winter in order to boost the blood circulation and feel warmer. I had to use a U.S. proxy to watch most of these, so they might not play for some people (like most music vids). Sorry about that, but I hate posting live videos. This one nicely builds up until the tear-jerking end: In this instrumental track it's mainly the guitar solo that gets me. It sounds like Satriani even has his own guitar in tears: Pay no attention to the sub-par lyrics. I wish Tristania would stick to Norwegian. It's a shame how many great European bands nearly ruin their songs by trying to write them in English (perhaps that's what makes me cry in this case?): I really love this sad song, but it would probably make Mozart cry if he had a chance to hear it: And finally, a classic from my favorite Black Sabbath album. It probably makes me cry because it reminds me of my age (and of a few other things): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynda Baran Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Any RAP/Hip-hop "music" makes me cry. And if I can't find the volume control or change the station fast enough, it usually makes me gag and barf too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynda Baran Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Oh yeah, and Snooki's music video. She should stick to the oompa Loompa song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DQ Darwin Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Couldn't stay away. Some lovely music here:) Here are 2 that will never over time be replaced for the feelings they bring out in me, but in truth all these songs are very personal to the posters.
