Which pop song makes you cry? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

catlover79 · 02-15-2007, 12:52 AM

For no reason at all, I choke up at "Can You Read My Mind" by Gordon Lightfoot. I don't know why; maybe just because I find it such a beautiful song.

When I was a baby, I had a pull toy that played the 5th Dimension's "Up Up And Away". I guess one day I pulled it a bit too hard and it broke. My mom tells me I was so inconsolable she tried to find a new one. She never did. But that too is such a pretty song that I feel tears coming on when I hear it to this day!!

What can I say, I'm a sap!!

In The Living Years by Mike & the Mechanics. He sings about his father dying
and all the things they left unsaid, it always makes me cry.

Time by Alan Parsons Project as I had my brother, sister, their spouses, and my parents dance to that song for Christmas. It was the first time I saw them all get up and dance. I saved that for last.

Peter, Paul & Mary's "Leaving On a Jet Plane."

"Long Long Time" by Linda Ronstadt. Except for a gender change in the lyrics, it perfectly sums up what I want to say to a woman I know who might be marrying someone else soon!

"The Long And Winding Road" by The Beatles

Thanks for the cyberhug.

Also, the enitrety of John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band moves me to tears, especially "Mother." What also gets me is his reference to Guy Fawkes Day in the POB song "Remember" - "Remember the fifth of November" - followed by an explosion.

November 5 is my birthday.
