Hmm I dont think a song, or movie ever made me cry. Real life handles that, but I think they do trigger those memories that can make you sad. Music itself can make you sad, so can a singers voice.
But..... There was a song on Springsteen's The Rising that really got me.
I was listening to thits when my Mom said stop what you're doing Dad is in icu now. He never made it out . so that song will forever be etched in my brain for that.
Well I don't think you got around disrespecting the situation described. What a weird response.
I think we were all asked the question, and there's a reason why I listen to Bruce's music and moved by it. And it happened to be true.
Did you start early tonight? Weirdo.
I truly didnt mean any offense. Was just kidding. Jest about Springsteen only. Since it is an issue, I have no desire to start up over that kind of topic. Removed it.
For me, there's a ton, but I will let our just announced Just Plain Folks Song Of The Year stand in. Here's Gretchen Peters winning song "Idlewild" which she told me is one of the most important songs she ever wrote for herself. You can put yourself in the backseat of that car as your young world crashes down around you.

I came up with a list after thinking a bit. I noticed most songs I find sad are on the piano I don't know why. not cry but close. although these songs will lose their overwhelming power after a thousand listens or so.
I have an odd one that came from Rush called Time Stands Still Seemed to sound like it came straight from my head. But I like songs that make me look inwards, not as much to cry over.

Wow Brian.. the top submissions must have been amazing...Gretchen has done an amazong job of "moving us"
Thank you for posting this
I think she's among the most underrated songwriters in the business. She's had hits and success, but she wrote some amazing songs on her winning Female Singer Song. Take a look above this thread at the winner list and watch Five Minutes, the Americana winner. Videos for ALL the winning song but one are posted as well as many more winners as you scroll down.
There's a LOT of talent in our org. folks. I know many don't post here but nearly all of them have played at our events in the past, some going back 25+ years!
