what songs make you cry (or very emotional)

in a good way, i mean.

puff the magic dragon brings me to tears. little jackie paper was an asshole!

rainbow connection (as sung by kermit the frog).

The first time ever I saw your face - Roberta Flack I think.

Every time

'Things that Make you go Hmmmmm' by the C & C Music Factory almost brought a tear to my eye the other day.

this makes me laugh and cry, makes me feel soiled and guilty

sorry, mate. i couldn't sit through the whole thing!

Glory Of Love - Peter Cetera

Songs?

Been wracking my brain and can't think of ONE.

Instrumental pieces (and I supose the instrumental intros on a lot of songs), on the other hand can do terrible things to me.

When a certain well known Ron Grainer/Deliah Derbyshire piece came back to TV in 2005, I blubbed quite badly, though in fairness, that had as much to do with what the tune meant than what it was. Likewise, if in the early hours of a March Saturday in 2009, I hear the outro bassline from Fleetwood Mac's The Chain, I'll be a mess, but because of it's meaning rather than the notes.

There's a few others like that too.

Neptune from Holst's planets has an effect on me that's somewhere between the way a kitten goes when it's picked up by the neck, and getting a cricket bat accross the head. It's the "off stage choir" it's utterly other worldly and utterly, breathtakingly beautiful.

Get a grip!Only girls cry. I'm fuckin nails,me

Mistakes - The Tindersticks Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley

'we have all the time in the world' by louis armstrong.

Usually I cry when I get glum, so it's a bit more of a sad-song-type thing. Sooo...

"How" - Lisa Loeb "Don't Give Up" - Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush "The Drop" and "Here Comes the Flood" - Peter Gabriel "Don't Dream It's Over" - Sixpence None the Richer "Fire and Rain" - James Taylor "Hurt" - Johnny Cash

That's all I can think of for the moment. I'm not in the mood to be glum right now.
