songs that make you break down and cry like a baby

[Dayvo]

Songs don't make me cry, but some make the hairs on my neck stand up:

Hurt - Johnny Cash
Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division
Rise - PIL
Wonderful Life - Black
Oh Superman - Laurie Anderson
I Want to Break Free - Queen
Radio Ga Ga - Queen
Once in a Lifetime - Talking Heads
Burning Down the House - Talking Heads
Come Talk to Me - Peter Gabriel
Will You - Hazel O'Connor
Save a Prayer - Duran Duran
One - U2
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - U2
With or Without You - U2

and a few more that I've overlooked.

 

[Andy in Sig]

I must be emotionally underdeveloped or something. No song has ever made me cry even though there have been occasions when I've found ones to match romances gone wrong etc.

The Onion Song always makes me cry

 

[Sabreur]

Tank Park Salute - Billy Bragg

 

[derall]

Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris - Love Hurts (which I first heard on the wonderful BBC Scotland drama "Tutti Frutti")

The only version I could find on YouTube was overlaid on some footage from the truly terrible Brokeback Mountain - enough to reduce anyone to tears - so here's a version from Emmylou Harris and Elvis Costello

Hearts on Fire, maybe. Hove hurts is a tad ponderous.

Tank Park Salute - Billy Bragg

Between the Wars

 

[Saddle bum]

"Because they're young" - Duane Eddy.

Its a fine fine record. Doesnt make me cry, but the hairs on the neck standeth up.

Also surprised to see Laurie Andersons 'O Superman' mentioned.
Brilliant lyrics if you take the time to listen. Very wierd...very doomsday.

Elton's 'original', not the other money making shoot that came after, was the only fitting tribute to diana:

Midnight Train to Georgia
Wake me up (when it's over) Norah Jones
Can't remember if we said goodbye Emmylou Harris
Good year for the roses Elvis Costello

it said, aherm, ..."i don't care about your reading abilities YOU BIG ****ING SPOONHEAD".

Somebody forget their medication last night?

I hope in the bright light of a new dawn, you'll consider that somewhat unpleasant.

No worries, I've been called worse!

I'll admit that I do have a terrible habit of mocking the illiterati!
