Songs That Make Me Cry

Ok, you're not going to see this kind of crap from me very often. But, Angie Fanset inspired me to think about what songs can make me cry. Really. These are songs that I listen to when I am sad/mad and want to stay that way. Sometimes I feel better, sometimes not. Enjoy!

Holding Back The Years
Simply Red
This song is one of my all-time favorites. It can make me cry if I am sad or smile if I am happy.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
This song made me feel less alone in dealing…

Dust In The Wind
Kansas
I had this song stuck in my head when my grandmother died.

I hope you dance
Lee Ann Womack
Our hope for Natalie when she grows up

Natale's Song
Sia
The title made it special. The lyrics made it good.

The Luckiest
Ben Folds
The part about the old man next door makes me cry every time.

Bitter End
Dixie Chicks
Song we used for our goodbye party in the US before coming to China

Drive
The Cars
Tom and I broke up one time. This was the song I used to cry myself to thinking about losing him.

My Own Prison
Creed
I just love this song and the beat really feels like a pounding heart.

Still Loving You
Scorpions
One of my first hard rock songs and it became after an early "lost love". Gotta love self-pity!

Father And Daughter
Paul Simon
The song is just beautiful and makes me sad to think Natalie will be gone soon.

Suds In The Bucket
Sara Evans
I know this is upbeat, but this is such a strong song of independence.

Hurt
Johnny Cash
This is a great version of the Trent Rezner (Nine Inch Nails) song. Cash makes every song a cryer!

What Kind of Fool
Barbra Streisand
Wow, no good explanation. But it was my favorite song to listen to when my parents were getting a divorce.

Building A Mystery
Sarah McLachlan
Remindes me that building walls around myself was not going to protect me.

You're Still the One
Shania Twain
I think of this every anniversary (well the last 10 anyway!)

One Tin Soldier - The Legend of Billy Jack
Coven
Ok, who can listen to this song and NOT cry?

Tears in Heaven
Eric Clapton
I think of the sorrow he must have felt when he wrote this.

Run, Baby, Run
Sheryl Crow
Describes how hard you have to work at life sometimes.

Here You Come Again
Dolly Parton
Taught me that some people will always try to keep you down.
