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

Hey, what about "One More Minute," Weird Al's spoof of tear-jerkers -- sometimes I spew tears from laughing too hard, and it's especially funny to see him perform it. As for my real choices, I have to admit that the following have brought tears on occasion:

Cat Stevens: "Oh Very Young," and "Father and Son," and a few others.

Karla Bonoff: "Falling Star," and "Lose Again" (late 70s)

Lately, Tull's "Too Old to Rock & Roll/Too Young to Die," hits a soft spot; and of course I just can't stop the floodgates whenever I hear Ted Nugent's tender love ballad, "Wango Tango". :)
