Songs that make you openly weep... — Page 5

"Some things are meant to be" from Little Women.

"Some things are meant to be, the clouds moving fast and free, the sun on a silver sea, a sky that's bright and blue. And some things will never die, the thrill of our magic ride, the love that I feel in side for you...

all my life I've lived for loving you,
let me go now..."

ahhh so sad.

Hmmm, the Merrily song that everyone keeps picking is Not a Days Go By, but I have to pick "Our Time". In the context of the show, that is possibly the most heartbreaking song I've ever heard.

This next one may seem odd since it's from a really funny show, but "Finale: I Imagine You're Upset" from Bat Boy, realy gets me sometimes (it might stem from my refusal to see the show as anything but an authentic greek tragedy).

then there are the "oh, of course" songs.

Elaborate Lives, I know the Truth from Aida.
For Good from Wicked.

"A Little fall of rain," Empty Chairs at Empty Tables from Les Mis

Now i have to ask myself, What part of Miss Saigon doesn't make me weep like a hungry infant?


there are many others, but i can't list them all.


did i mention im an emotional wreck?

Corner of the Sky - Pippin

"cats fit on the windowsill, children fit in the snow...why do i feel i don't fit in anywhere i go"

"Once Before I Go" - Boy from Oz

& at the end of Phantom (Hugh) when Christine comes back to give him the ring & he's singing quietly "Christine I love you..." - OMG, that part kills me every time.

Anytime - From Infinate Joy/Eligies
Finale/In the Begining - From Children of Eden
Nobody Needs to Know - From L5Y
If I didn't believe in You - From L5Y

"My Dogs"--Elegies (songs about dying pets always destroy me)
Finale from Les Mis

The Piazza number in Forbidden Broadway- I laugh so hard, tears spill down my face. I can't wear mascara at FB!!!

The first time I saw Dreamgirls- '"I'm Telling you" anytime Jenifer Holday sang, I was so moved by her brilliant performance.


She made me a fan for life!

Honestly depends on what mood I'm in, if I'm in a certain mood, a song that would normally not phase me that much could have me bawling. :-P On a fairly regular basis though, I'll Cover You: Reprise tends to get me fairly consistently though.
