: Is there a song that makes you cry? I notice a lot of the Elton John songs can make people weepy, but is there one that as soon as you hear it you have to turn it off before you start crying?
: I have one: If You Sleep by Tal Bachman
I don't have a song that ALWAYS makes me cry. I have a few that have made me cry in the past, though.
"One," by U2. I'm no fan, but the guy I was seeing had recorded it with his band. We broke up, hence the hard feelings.
"Leavin' On a Jet Plane," Peter, Paul & Mary. Another breakup. Funny thing was, years afterwards, I went to see PP&M in concert at the venue formerly known as the Garden State Arts Center. They did that song, and I bawled like a baby. The people I went with thought I'd gone out of my frelling mind.
"Overcome," Live
"Imagine," John Lennon. It's got to hit me in the right mood for it, though.
This one's a bit silly, but I'm just going to run with it...
"To Sir With Love," Lulu. I've always thought that if I ever get married, this is the song I'll dance with my daddy to.
