Men don't cry because of songs they hear. So no. But secretly yes. But no one song in particular does it everytime.
Actually I kind of cried a little watching Its a Wonderful Life over Christmas.
My God...I have to go and do about 100 chin ups now. Excuse me.

Hmmm, Total Eclipse of The Heart by Bonnie Tyler, especially this part:
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you’re never coming round
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit restless and I dream of something wild
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit helpless and I’m lying like a child in your arms
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit angry and I know I’ve got to get out and cry
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit terrified but then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart

anyone have a song they love but cannot listen to or sing without crying? Well, oddly the Happy Birthday song brings tears to my eyes. I don't know exactly what it is, but I guess it's because the years seem to go by so quickly. I'm always reminded of all the things I haven't accomplished that I wanted to. And, with each passing year, you know you're getting closer to the end. (I'm only 17, and I already think this way  ) Also, it triggers those commercials in my mind where it's either showing a recording of someone's birthday or whatever, and then at the end it says something like they were killed by a drunk driver. I'm probably the only one that gets all unhappy and depressed on birthdays, because it makes me sad whenever I hear it for anyone. I mean, I don't necessarily start bawling in front of everyone (I save that for when no one's around), but I do normally get choked up and I can feel the tears start to swell up. Another song that brings out the tears is Amazing Grace. Love that song. I know there are several other church songs, too. I'm just not sure of the names. Oh, and another song is God Bless the U.S.A. by Lee Greenwood. There are many other songs out there that are depressing to me, but most of the time I only cry to them if I'm really upset that day. One of those songs includes Angel by Sarah McLachlan. Actually I kind of cried a little watching Its a Wonderful Life over Christmas. Awww...I just have to say, that's so sweet! That's a great movie. |

I dunno about actually crying, but a few songs remind me of my undergrad days at university, and the various friends I made at that time. Nights in or nights out usually resulted in said songs being played. At the time, they were feel-good, bonding kinda tunes. Nowadays they raise a smile whenever I hear them, but also make me feel pretty sad as I think I've regressed shyness-wise since then: Brown-Eyed Girl - Van Morrison Letter from America - The Proclaimers Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond - ah, sweet memories of drunken karaoke time, oh dear....  Not sad songs per se, but as I said above, tend to make me feel a bit melancholic whenever I hear them. Esp the end of the proclaimers song. Another more poignant song would be 'Follow Me' by Uncle Kracker. One of my friends died in a car crash a couple of years ago, and this song was played at his funeral. I didn't cry at the time, but I really can't listen to this song now without being on the verge of tears. 'You won't find nobody else like me' - that's the line that gets me.  |

My social life has also been trimmed back a lot since college days. In fact now that you mention it whenever I hear a Garbage song I always flash back to a Garbage concert that I was at. I was actually in the mosh pit, up near the stage and Shirley Manson (I swear its true) was looking right at me for like 2 minutes straight - or the better part of a song. Big thrill as I'm sure you can imagine.  |
