"No One is Alone" - Into the Woods
"Not a Day Goes By" - Merrily We Roll Along
"Losing My Mind" - Follies

are the three that immediately come to my mind...

Wow, they're all Sondheim.

"I Remember" from Evening Primrose. If anyone wants a hint of what it's like to live in the closet, just listen to this song. Though not written about life in the closet, it comes closer than any song I've ever heard to evoking that experience.

I Dreamed a Dream
Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again

They always get me to cry.

Man, I'm about to cry just thinking of some of these songs! I'd have to add "Serenade" from Amour and "Please, Let's Not Even Say Hello" from Yeston's December Songs make me want to curl up and weep. As far as non-Broadway goes, a really good rendition of "The Trees on the Mountain" from Susannah and "The Black Swan" from The Medium are gorgeously poignant.

I totally have to agree with What Would I Do from Falsettos. I played Marvin in that show, and had just lost one of my friends to AIDS and that song just killed me every nihgt. I don't know how I sang it. I just sang it at another memorial service for one of my best friends. I also agree with MAke them Hear You from Ragtime, but I would have to add the finale wot Act One of Ragtime. The funeral of Sarah....OH MY GOSH. No More Questions from Into The Woods, The funeral song from Parde, and also the song song by Mary's mother in Parde. There was a song in The Rothschilds, I think it was the Will....played Nathan Rothschild in that one and when the guy playing our father would sing that I would get choked up. I could keep going, there are tons of them.
