"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

Posted: 10/21/06 at 6:55pmLove Changes Everything makes me cry ever since I first heard it onstage during ASPECTS OF LOVE. Nothing sadder than crap shows being produced.

I have NEVER met Cheyenne Jackson. I have never hung out with him in his dressing room, he did not tweet me, he never bought me a beverage, and he mostly certainly didn't tickle me. . .that is all.

Posted: 10/21/06 at 7:20pmI agree, Calvin. Any of those revoltingly sentimental tripey pieces.

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

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
"If you are going to do something, do it well. And leave something witchy."

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...

Posted: 10/21/06 at 7:58pmLCE only moves me when Audra does it. I think she's able to invest it with a lot of emotion and feeling.
