Another Fan Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 Jack Johnson's Upside Down did it to me some years back. It's the theme from the Curious George movie. The song reminded me that all things are still possible. Was a much needed kick me in the butt at the time 😂
LI_Bills Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 I became a huge JJ fan based solely on the Curious George soundtrack. I've bought everything he puts out ever since. BTW, he is overdue. When I saw him play Upside Down live it brought a tear to my eye thinking of my kids (couples night out). I associate a lot of fond memories of my life with JJ songs. I make slide shows and DVDs for family vacations and JJ songs are often the background music. I've shed a tear on many occasions with songs like Better Together as the background to great memories, First slideshow I ever were made was to Upside Down and my kids at Sesame Place. Putting JJ aside, I was recently at Wrigley Field for a Cubs game and shed a tear at the 7th inning stretch when they did the Harry Caray "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" tribute. It was my first game at Wrigley having watched games on TV since my youth.

row_33 Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 The last verse of Amazing Grace about 50 times at funerals of loved ones and colleagues.
TheElectricCompany Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt", Clapton "Tears in Heaven". Chris Stapleton did "Either Way" when we saw him at Red Rocks, pretty moving. I don't think he needed a microphone, he could have filled that venue without it.

Gugny Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 The Star-Spangled Banner, you !@#$ing communists. I usually whimper a little getting up from kneeling. But I've never cried.
ExiledInIllinois Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 How can one not? I usually whimper a little getting up from kneeling. But I've never cried. I see what you did there. It will be noted for future reference! ;-) The Star-Spangled Banner, you !@#$ing communists. Yeah... I hated it when those Pinkos bombarded Ft.McHenry!

/dev/null Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 Cats in the Cradle always majes me sad that either my brother or I couldn't be closer to home with Dad
Maury Ballstein Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 Nope, all my tears are reserved for the movie theatre.
Gugny Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 "Maybe I'm Amazed" - Such a beautiful, meaningful song. Made me cry whilst seeing/hearing Macca sing it live. "Tears in Heaven" - It was always a bit of a tear-jerker. But now that I've got a son of my own, it hits me a lot harder whenever I hear it (which is very rarely). "In My Life" - Really gets me thinking and realizing how many friends I've had to say goodbye to.
The Poojer Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 "The Book of Love" by Peter Gabriel, especially when it was featured in Scrubs. "Cat's In The Cradle" - Harry Chapin "What A Wonderful World" - Louis Armstrong I am sure there are way more, but those 3 immediately came to mind New album is due out in September. Heard a cut off it just at lunch. Saw him for the first time live this summer....outstanding show! I became a huge JJ fan based solely on the Curious George soundtrack.

IDBillzFan Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 "A Better Place To Be" by Harry Chapin. Preferably the version on "Greatest Stories Live." A story in a story. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgpbIPQl7CA
Kirby Jackson Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 There are a few for me. They were all songs that my mom loved that we'd play to her on her death bed. Piano Man, In My Life, Yesterday are all at the top of the list. Every time I hear them I start thinking about my mom.
