Archive through July 10, 2003
Sweetbabygirl | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 09:07 am     Good grief! I'm sitting at my desk working, and Brian McKnight's One Last Cry comes on the radio....this song has always gotten to me, as I was going through a very painful breakup around the time that it came out. Other songs that make me cry are Sinead O'Connor's Nothing Compares To You and Annie Lennox's No More I Love You's. There are many more, but I'd wind up being a weepy mess!! What songs get to you guys? |
Goddessatlaw | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 09:29 am     "500 Miles" (folk song most famously performed by Peter Paul and Mary, I think, and the Kingston Trio. Maybe written by Pete Seeger, I'm not sure). My dad used to sing it to us when we were little. We'd all wail. My little sister used to her mind anytime "Crimson and Clover" by Tommy James and the Shondelles was played - something about his vibrato just made her go into a crying jag/screamfest. I'm not sure, but I may have had the same reaction when Joan Jett covered it. |
Texannie | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 09:36 am     Old one..Think it was called "Honey" see the tree how big it's grown, but friends it wasn't low ago that it wasn't big......then one day the angel came and took Honey far away..... snif, sob.......... Also, "You've got to have Friends" by Bette Midler and "Jean" |
Bobbie_552001 | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 09:39 am     A better question would be ....what song doesn't make you cry. "The Long Goodbye"..."Hello Its Austin"..."Unchained Melody"...and above all else classical music, especially Mahler...moves me to tears everytime. |
Hippyt | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 09:49 am     Oh,lol,the first thing that comes to mind is a Christmas song I hear every year. I have no idea who sings it or what the title is. It's a country song,and it's about a little boy rushing to the store to buy some pretty shoes for his Mom,who's dying of cancer that night. SOB,it's so corny,but it makes me cry EVERY time. |
Cathie | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 09:51 am     Ohhhhhh, I remember Honey!!! Honey Bobby Goldsboro (Words and Music by Bobby Russell) See the tree, how big it's grown but friend it hasn't been too long it wasn't big I laughed at her and she got mad, the first day that she planted, it, was just a twig Then the first snow came and she ran out to brush the snow away So it wouldn't die Came runnin' in all excited, slipped and almost hurt herself And I laughed till I cried She was always young at heart, kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved her so And I surprised her with a puppy Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago And it would sure embarrass her When I came in from workin' late 'cause I would know That she'd been sittin' there and cryin' Over some sad and silly late, late show And honey, I miss you and I'm bein' good And I'd love to be with you if only I could She wrecked the car and she was sad And so afraid that I'd be mad but what the heck Though I pretended hard to be Guess you could say she saw through me and hugged my neck I came home unexpectedly and caught her cryin' needlessly In the middle of a day And it was in the early Spring when flowers bloom and robins sing She went away And honey, I miss you and I'm bein' good And I'd love to be with you if only I could One day while I was not at home while she was there and all alone The angels came Now all I have is memories of Honey and I wake up nights and call her name Now my life's an empty stage where Honey lived and Honey played And love grew up And a small cloud passes overhead and cries down on the flower bed That Honey loved And see the tree how big it's grown but friend it hasn't been too long it wasn't big And I laughed at her and she got mad The first day that she planted it, was just a twig Transcribed by Ronald E.

Goddessatlaw | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 09:52 am     DANGIT, you guys!! Now I'm going to be singing that song for the rest of the day. |
Max | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 09:54 am     Peaches 'n Herb - Reunited It was "our" song for a great love in my life that fell apart and it always makes me think of our times together and get a little misty. Oh, and ALWAYS that Cats in the Cradle song about the dad lamenting all the time lost with his son. |
Conejo | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 10:04 am     "Seasons In The Sun" - was it by Terry Jacks? |
Cathie | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 10:06 am     A song that makes me sad/happy at the same time is Same Old Lang Syne by Dan Fogelberg. I associate it with a guy who I thought at the time was THE guy. It has a few subtle meanings for me, too, as in the end where "the snow turns into rain" because I love snow and it makes it even sadder to me when the snow is gone, snif, snif. |
Froggiegirl621 | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 10:08 am     I Could Not Ask For More - Edwin McCain Gets me every time.  |
Cathie | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 10:14 am     Also, an old one from (I think) Sonny and Cher--"You'd Better Sit Down, Kids" about telling kids about a divorce. Really sad to me at the time. |
Grooch | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 10:17 am     Taxi by Harry Chapin |
Theowl | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 10:38 am     The song Honey makes me cry, because believe it or not, I had a cousin whos nickname was Honey. That song came out just after she died of Leukemia. She was married and had JUST had a baby. I was young, but remember her so well to this day!!  |
Theowl | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 10:40 am     Also, Dan Fogelberg The leader of the band" or something like that. I'm crying now when I just think about the words "And papa I don't think I said "I Love You" near enough"!! Oh I miss that Man!!  |
Zachsmom | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 10:45 am     You'll be blessed by Elton John. That song came out when I was pregnant with Zachary. Pooh Corner by Kenny Loggins, Christopher Robin and I walked along Under branches lit up by the moon Posing our questions to Owl and Eeyore As our days disappeared all too soon But Ive wandered much further today than I should And I cant seem to find my way Back to the Wood So help me if you can Ive got to get Back to the House At Pooh Corner by one Youd be surprised theres so much to be done Count all the bees in the hive Chase all the clouds from the sky Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh Winnie the Pooh doesnt know what to do Got a honey jar stuck on his nose He came to me asking help and advice And from here no one knows where he goes So I sent him to ask of the Owl if hes there How to loosen a jar from the nose of a bear Help me if you can Ive got to get Back to the House At Pooh Corner by one Youd be surprised theres so much to be done Count all the bees in the hive Chase all the clouds from the sky Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh Its hard to explain how a few precious things Seem to follow throughout all our lives After alls said and done I was watching my son Sleeping there with my bear by his side So I tucked him in, I kissed him and as I was going I swear that old bear whispered, Boy, welcome home Believe me if you can Ive finally come Back to the House at Pooh Corner by one What do you know theres so much to be done Count all the bees in the hive Chase all the clouds from the sky Back to the days of Christopher Robin Back to the ways of Christopher Robin Back to the days of Pooh and this one by Phil Collins Come stop your crying It will be all right Just take my hand Hold it tight I will protect you from all around you I will be here Don't you cry For one so small, you seem so strong My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm This bond between us can't be broken I will be here Don't you cry 'Cause you'll be in my hear Yes, you'll be in my heart From this day on Now and forever more You'll be in my heart No matter what they say You'll be here in my heart, always Why can't they understand the way we feel They just don't trust what they can't explain I know we're different but, deep in side us We're not that different at all And you'll be in my heart Yes, you'll be in my heart From this day on Now and forever more Don't listen to them 'Cause what do they know We need each other, to have, to hold They'll see in time I know When destiny calls you You must be strong I may not be with you But you've got to hold on They'll see in time I know We'll show them together 'Cause you'll be in my heart Believe me, you'll be in my heart I'll be there from this day on Now and forever more Oh, you'll be in my heart No matter what they say You'll be here in my heart, always Always I'll be with you I'll be there for you always Always and always Just look over your shoulder Just look over your shoulder Just look over your shoulder I'll be there Always

Nutsy | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 11:00 am     Song from the musical - Les Mis "A Little Fall of Rain". I read Victor Hugo's book before seeing the musical, and the scene in the book that this song represents is just heartbreakingly beautiful. |
Hermione69 | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 11:02 am     Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) by Green Day makes me cry. It was featured on ER when the doctor's little boy was dying (Season 4, I believe). The little boy used to play it with Jeannie all the time. Do you guys remember that? Anyway, not long after that episode, one of my friends, named Robbie, died quite unexpectedly from a bleeding ulcer. He was very young. I don't think he was even 30 yet. He was part of a group of us that used to hang out together and watch football on Sundays. The morning after I got the news, I was on my way to work and Time of Your Life came on the radio and I just started bawling. That song still makes me cry. It is so odd that this thread would be created today. I was just thinking about Robbie last night. |
Sweetbabygirl | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 11:09 am     D'oh! Sorry, Hermie (BIGGGGGGGGGGGG HUG!) |
Spitfire | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 11:21 am     ((Hermi)) Weird thing......For me Time of Your Life is associated with my cousin's husband who passed away 3 years ago this past Tuesday. He was injured in a car accident and passed from his injuries on the 8th (about a week later). Guess what...his name was Rob too and I was just thinking about him. This song was played at his funeral and I will always associate it to him and his life. Yes, this song makes me cry. |
Dahli | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 11:41 am     MOst anything by Roy Orbison, but in particular "Crying" (go figger) with kd lang. |
Halfunit | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 11:53 am     "Wildfire"... I always felt bad for that horse, busting down it's stall. "She ran calling Wildfire..." (And yes, Conejo - Terry Jacks did Seasons in the Sun!") |
Hermione69 | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 11:56 am     That's weird, Spitfire. Goosebumps. Hugs to all you guys, too.  |
Hermione69 | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 12:02 pm     By the way, SBG, don't feel bad for creating the thread. Obviously, the powers that be wanted me to think about Robbie for some reason. Besides, I think it is very cathartic to weep buckets now and then. |
Conejo | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 12:09 pm     "Amazing Grace" Thanks Half, I was about to lose my mind wondering if that was right! Hey, am I the only man posting in this thread? |
