...well....I'm not trying to be tough...but a song has never made me cry. I did have had a lump in the throat once....but I'm pretty sure that was just a burp (a damn sad burp though).
The closest I've come was hearing the Blur song 'No distance left to run' after breaking up with my girlfriend.
I found it damn embarrassing!...and it was just me in my room.
Any stupid songs you find sad for some reason?
Feel free to ignor this post, I'm waiting for an email and wasting time!
'lurgee' by radiohead is my sooky breakup song. there has been some paulietears shed during that song.
pretty much all of Van Morrison's Astral Weeks album
the Eels and Casiotone for the Painfully Alone are pretty weepy too
Augie March live shows
Only song that's ever made me cry is Paragon Cafe, at the Basement this year.
Although I've gotta agree with Chris - Slim Slow Slider gets me very melancholic.
In My Life - the Beatles
everytime I hear it pretty much
I cry constantly during Augie March live shows....
mainly because they suck live. I find it really sad that a band who can write such good songs are so tragically rubbish live.
relative thread??
you are my sunshine
Snow - Informer
anything by celine dion
yeah, paragon cafe puts the lump in my throat! Possible one of Tim's best songs. good call.
I cried when grasshopper's guitar solo kicked in during 'Holes' at a Mercury Rev gig
It was a first date...a bit embarrassing actually
Take Care Of All Of My Children - Tom Waits
If I Have To Go - Tom Waits
Blackbird - Beatles
Time - Tom Waits
most songs, really..i've got very few songs that won't make me weepy and most of them are Casanovas songs
Come to think of it....Martha by Tom Waits does the job as well.
a whole bunch of triffids songs for a whole bunch of reasons.
and amazing grace. on the cello.
msot versions of These Days
Well, I'm female. Most recently in public it was Maps by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The Mountain Goats really get me too.
Get Lonely and Sunset Tree are way too emotional
i'm going to put on Born Sandy Devotional now monty I think.

Old Shep by Elvis Presley Every god damned time!!!
oh texaco........
When I was a lad
And old Shep was a pup
Over hills and meadows we'd stray
Just a boy and his dog
We were both full of fun
We grew up together that way
I remember the time at the old swimmin' hole
When I would have drowned beyond doubt
But old Shep was right there
To the rescue he came
He jumped in and then pulled me out
As the years fast did roll
Old Shep he grew old
His eyes were fast growing dim
And one day the doctor looked at me and said
I can do no more for him Jim
With hands that were trembling
I picked up my gun
And aimed it at Shep's faithful head
I just couldn't do it
I wanted to run
I wish they would shoot me instead
He came to my side
And looked up at me
And laid his old head on my knee
I had struck the best friend that a man ever had
I cried so I scarcely could see
Old Shep he has gone
Where the good doggies go
And no more with old Shep will I roam
But if dogs have a heaven
There's one thing I know
Old Shep has a wonderful home
Elvis is Dead by Living Colour.
but really elvis was a bit dumb - he should have taken shep to the vet not a doctor, no wonder the doctor said he can do no more for shep, he needed a vet
Maybe the vet was busy?
Damn you, that last verse!!!!
So... who's going to break the bad news to him?
Neither you nor me Morris. In a cruel twist of fate, Elvis has left the building too.
look, shep may be buried underneath ye old oak tree, but we ALL KNOW SHEP IS HAPPY IN A MUCH BETTER PLACE AND IS GRATEFUL TO ELVIS FOR SHOOTING HIM. OK?
And it appears elvis shot shep when ''I cried so I scarcely could see'' - does this mean he may have missed? And if so, did shep die a slow painful upset death and was cognisant that elvis shot him?
It's like hearing that Living Colour song all over again...
Split Enz - Stuff and nonsense
Neko Case - Set out running
Gin Club - You, me and the sea (also, Gas Guzzler)
Paul Kelly - Everything's turning to white
Frightened Rabbit - Keep yourself warm
Eels - It's a motherfucker
Nick Cave - The ship song*
Rod Stewart - Rhythm of my heart*
Mess Hall - Red eyes and sunshine*
*Earmarked for my funeral
romeo and juliet by dire straits.
