Songs that make you openly weep... — Page 3

Can't believe I forgot the Elegies triple whammy:

14 Dwight Ave, Natick, Mass ("and then, before I'm too exhausted, I say 'Michael, take me home'")
The Day The Earth Stopped Turning ("'The truth is that you made my life superb' she said")
Anytime (I Am There) ("I'll be there on the baseball field, though I'm well concealed I'll be out there cheering")

Still Hurting--The Last 5 Years
Your Eyes--RENT

i believe it was MEF who said "anyone who does not shed a tear during Getting Tall [from Nine] is obviously not human"

i could not agree more

I heard it for the first time last night- The I love you song from spelling bee

And...that's all I can think of right now.

Goodbye love...

Hmm I dont like to openly weep but I agree with Cathy with "Goodbye Till Tomorrow- I Could Never Rescue You" from the Last Five years. By the time that song is over, there's always a tear in the eye.

DEFYING GRAVITY--as someone mentioned, it's a power song or a very melancholy one depending on current life circumstance.

FOR GOOD--both the song alone, and at the end of the finale when Kristin strikes that higher cord and the cast in the background "no one mourns the wicked"-I'm a total faucet. I've lost people too.

DADDY'S HANDS--WHEELS OF A DREAM--TILL WE REACH THAT DAY--MAKE THEM HEAR YOU--Ragtime

HOME--From The Wiz

I KNOW THE TRUTH--Aida

WILL I?--YOUR EYES--GOODBYE LOVE--Rent OBC

CLIMB EVERY MOUNTAIN--Sound of Music

HUSH-A-BYE MOUNTAIN--Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE

And MEMORIES by Barbara Streisand...I know I have others but I'm tired now.

"Rose's Turn" (Gypsy)
"All The Wasted Time" (Parade)
"I'd Rather Be Sailing" (A New Brain)
"The I Love You Song" (Spelling Bee)

"Being Alive" - Company
"Children Will Listen" - Into The Woods
"Anything Can Happen" - Mary Poppins
"For Good" - Wicked (I'm not going to justify it, just deal with it...)
"Say It Somehow," "Clara's Interlude," "Love To Me," "Fable" - Light In The Piazza
"I Still Believe," "I'd Give My Life For You," 'I still taste your kisses...' from "The Confrontation" - Miss Saigon
Down Once More/Track Down This Murderer/Finale - Phantom Of The Opera
"Beauty And The Beast" - Beauty And The Beast (holds a special place in my heart due to the circumstances in which I first heard it)
"As If We Never Said Goodbye" - Sunset Blvd.
"The "I Love You" Song" - The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (I just think the harmonies are great, and the original cast nail it)
"Somethings Are Meant To Be" - Little Women

I cry in everything, I even cried a bit in Hairspray... Music just has a major emotional effect on me.
