"Don't hit your mama with a big old stick." That'n always makes me cry!

Love Changes Everything makes me cry ever since I first heard it onstage during ASPECTS OF LOVE. Nothing sadder than crap shows being produced.

Rath, I think I officially worship you. *bows to the greatness*

WOW! I got quoted by Rath! I am not worthy, madame!

Settle down, boys.

Although the show is not that great . . . you can't deny the power of "Love Changes Everything"

Oh, but I can.

"Butterfly Kisses" makes me cry acid and semi-digested food out of my esophagus.

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 10/21/06 at 7:20pm

I agree, Calvin. Any of those revoltingly sentimental tripey pieces.

A lump in the throat counts, right? I'm assuming it doesn't have to be full-fledged snotfest.

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 10/21/06 at 7:24pm

Well, you haven't heard me sing Adia.

[blueroses]

Posted: 10/21/06 at 7:31pm

I didn't know you sang, Rath!

That hurt.

The first few chords of Nobody Needs to Know (Last 5 years) and Why (tick...tick...BOOM!) petty much insure automatic tears for me.

This one is more Broadway-related, but I thought I'd post it:

My favorite go-to song whenever I need a good cry is Tom Waits’ “Take It With Me” (Megan Mullally’s cover is good enough to start the tears flowing, though).

For a really good wallow, Steve Earle’s “Goodbye” does the trick (better yet, Emmylou Harris’ devastating version from the Wrecking Ball album).

I think "Love Changes Everything" is a horridly obnoxious song.

My top sad songs:

"And So It Goes", Billy Joel
"What A Wonderful World", Louis Armstrong
"Angels", Sarah MacLaughlan

I agree Munk about "Love Changes Everything"...pure crap. I would have gotten a D-minus from my professors.

"One More Walk Around the Garden" does it for me everytime...

LCE only moves me when Audra does it. I think she's able to invest it with a lot of emotion and feeling.
