Aw man, Rabbit....Seventeen.

It was prom night; all through the school year, I deluded myself into thinking that I was going to be asked to the prom....naturally I wasn't, so I spent the evening with my two television friends, Laverne and Shirley. During a commercial, I turned on the radio....Seventeen was playing, and I cried my eyes out.

Whenever I hear it, the pain and humiliation that was high school always resurfaces.

"The End of the Innocence" by Don Henley.

I heard this one when it came out, of course. Then in 1995 I attended a law enforcement conference where they showed a video of footage from the ATF raid on the Branch Davidian compound, and this song was the background music. Damn!

Ryan, agreed about "He Stopped Loving Her Today." I can also sometimes get choked up over "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes" same album.

Did I ever mention I went to high school with Dan Fogelberg? His brother sat in front of me in English class. He was very cool and SO talented, the brother I mean.

Okay, here's a weird one....That Boy, by the Beatles. Don't know why it gets to me, maybe because it sounds so depressing; anyhew, to this day I can't listen to it with crying.

Another one is Eleanor Rigby; when I hear it, I feel like one of the lonely people. Ooh, ooh, and Superstar, by Luther Vandross....especially when he gets to the part "I wonder where you are tonight, are you holding someone else real tight, I wonder, I wonder, I wonder?"

Aw man somebody give me love, sniffle!!

Thanks, Ginger, it was Dion!

A recent one that brought tears to both hubby's eyes and mine is Traveling Soldier by the Dixie Chicks. It paralleled our meeting just prior to his year long trip to 'Nam compliments of his Uncle Sammy. The main difference in the song and our version is that my sweetie came back home. First time we heard the song last fall we were driving home from the funeral of one of his Army buddies in Kentucky and he reached over and took my hand and held it for the next half hour or so.

I was listening to Elton John's "Daniel" tonight and just got all choked up. I just lost my mother on May 31st and this song really hits home.

"Lord I miss Daniel - Oh I miss him so much..."

"Your eyes have died, but you see more than I..."

Poignant.

"How Can I Help You Say Goodbye" by Patti Loveless. Even before my mom passed away, that song could make me cry buckets.

SBG, Eleanor Rigby is my favorite Beatle's song, next to Hey Jude. Opposite ends of the spectrum, but I love them both.

I don't know who sings it, but there was a song out in the 70's called Sad Sweet Dreamer....I downloaded it but had to delete because I cried like a pansy when it was on.

Amazing Grace always gets me, and Bonny Portmore (by Loreena McKennitt)

Tears in Heaven - the song itself and the fact that Clapton wrote it for his deceased little boy

Everybody Hurts by REM

Amazing Grace - I love it but can never sing along with it.

Lizajane, I've never heard of Blue Rodeo, but maybe I'm just not in the right age group, lol. My daughters have never mentioned them, either.

I Can't Make You Love Me, by Bonnie Raitt....sometimes when I hear it I feel like it is 1993 all over again; that was the year where I went through "the breakup".

I used to sing along with the song but could never finish it, 'cause I'd always break down.

Another is I Go Crazy, by Will Downing, same explanation.
