Only two songs have ever made me literally cry: Peter Gabriel's 'Father and Son' (from the import "Story of OVO" disc) and Five for Fighting's 'Love Song' (from "Message from Albert"), a song about a couple splitting up sung from their child's perspective. And my parents were very happy...I can only imagine what this song would do to a person who actually went through this.
What songs make you cry?
Fess up, all you macho dudes & dudettes. Certain songs and music can turn on your waterworks. Here's some that seldom fail to make me mist-up...
-The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (Peter, Paul & Mary)
-Sounds of Silence (S&G, non-rock version)
-Born to the Breed (Judy Collins)
-Reason to Believe (Tim Hardin)
-Sparrow (Simon & Garfunkle again)
Not a song, but what the heck: the "Yes, Virginia" editorial about Santa Claus
