Blub.

I have to confess I'm not a cryer. Probably no more than 5 times in the last 30 years. But...life is a bit shit at the moment and this popped up on the shuffle driving home last week and it made me cry.
Not a particularly well known song but it got to me. Any of the Massive had a similar moment?

drinking and driving
is not advised
I'm with you pinmonkey
except that I am attached to the Randy Edelman version of 'You' (I believe he wrote it). It still has the power to evoke a specific feeling of melancholy (the first cut.. and all that). Same goes for this:
Anchorage
Every time. I had to pull over once.
Oh, and this one.
Yep, gone again.
Eric and Ernie's theme song
Because of all the happy memories it brings back:
Oh dear, I appear to have something in my eye....
Gets me everytime.Blub,Sniff.
Almost ended up in the central reservation
..on several occasions whilst listening to this. Incredibly funny, deeply moving and a bona fide national treasure.

(Waiting for You and) England to Return
This gets me everytime, usually in the instrumental bit.
This.....
..just gets me.
"Don't the peace come hard...."
Wogan played this version of a Gretchen Peters song
One morning on the way to work & I had to stop the car. It's somewhat resonant at the moment, especially 'You chase me like a shadow/And you haunt me like a ghost/And I hate you so/And I love you so/But I miss you most'. As Noel Coward said 'It's extraordinary how potent cheap music can be'.
This..
every single time
This is a different version
but I find the original absolutely heart breaking.
Martha
Tom Waits song, Hue and Cry version. Sadly not on YouTube or Spotify as far as I can tell so you're on your own, but worth the effort of finding (It's from "Piano and Voice").
I have to be really careful when I listen - if I'm in the least bit melancholy, that's it - blub !
would bring a tear to a glass eye
That's the first time
I've ever actually heard John Prine. He's good isn't he?
I too am not much of a cryer
but Jimmy Cliff doing Many Rivers To Cross live at Cambridge Folk Festival a few years back had me in floods.
There is something in my eye...
double blub-blub
Rodders, in his prime, Killing of Georgie Parts I & II... classic weepie
(embedding is disabled on youtube, so you have to click on the link, shock, horror!)
Warren Zevon
have an up arrow
I lost a dear friend in the year this was released and she has always been linked to this song for me
