I played Amazing Grace for my Granma's funeral, and my mom can't listen to it anymore.
Also, there is a song named Scorn Not His Simplisity by Ronan Tynan that is great, and makes me a bit weak at times...I have worked with special ed kids when I was in school, and my cousin is autistic, so that one means a lot to me.

A song that's almost in the same vein as "Daughters", but from a first-person perspective rather than a third-person perspective, is "Father of Mine" by Everclear. I like that one better. It's more heartbreaking and truthful to me.

Um, I like Butterfly Kisses and The Christmas Shoes. Yes, I am the sap that they makes those sappy songs for . . .
They're far from the only songs that make me cry. Actually, I've discovered in the past few months something very useful. That it's possible to see (and thus drive) just fine with tears streaming down my face.
quote: A recent example of this Satanic phenomenon is the bastardized version of "If I Were a Rich Man" which is currently polluting our airwaves. Come ON, people, this is a song meant to be sung by an aging Russian Jew struggling to provide for his wife and three daughters, not a coked-up anorexic "dancer" who dresses like a whore.
I so agree. The first time I heard this I listened in horrified fascination. Now I change stations as soon as it starts. It's just SO awful!
quote: I LOVE the Moulin Rouge version of Roxanne.
*nod* Although the Police version not so much.
Don't Take the Girl is another one that makes me cry every time. So is Me and Emily. Actually, country music in general has a high percentage of weepers (hence my recent discovery of my ability to DWC ).
