I was leaving a wake for 21 year old brother of a friend and the Dan Fogelberg song "In the Passage" came on. It was a cold winter night with a bright moon. I listened to the words while sitting in the car in the parking lot. I lost it.

Oh yeah.

 

It depends on my mood. I actually cried to "You Are My Sunshine" once before. Listen to the lyrics. It's one of the most depressing songs I know.

Oh my God.

 

Do you cry out the itsy bitsy spider too? When the rain washes him out? Boo hoo.

 

Buy stock in Kleenex corp everyone because Ed just spilled his milk.

Not bad at all....  :lol:

 

I wonder what other songs put me on edge of crying. :P

Was that the first time you'd heard it? If you ever get the chance, try to listen to it on a good quality stereo. It'll blow you away.

Old City Bar off the "Christmas Eve and Other Stories" album, by Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Especially live.

Cats in the Cradle is good one if you have a son - it always gets me thinking about what my relationship with my son will be...

For some reason this song always reminds me of when Tim Horton died. It must have been popular at that time or something. I was a huge Horton fan and it was so sad the way he died...

Cats and the Cradle by Jim Croce when I think about my deceased father and with arms wide open by Creed when my kids were born

I remember some stuff getting to me during my wedding...can't remember what they were for the life of me

 

seeing Les Miserables live got me a few times

 

movies don't usually do it for me, but Moulin Rouge also got me

Don't remember your wedding music?

 

:P

 

If I were you, I'd ask someone who was there that isn't your wife and won't talk. That could become either an asset or a haunter.

:P i should've clarified...it wasn't music that we picked out...it was at the end of the reception before he packed up and had us dance to while everyone surrounded us...i remember one of them being "Grow Old With You" by Adam Sandler (if it wasn't for the situation, i'm not sure if it would work)...can't remember the others

i'm pretty sure my wife doesn't remember...and i'm brave enough to ask her in the morning after she wakes up

Does this thread really have 77 posts with no mention of "Taps?" I was at two separate funerals where the deceased was buried with full military honors. I was pretty stoic until the solo trumpet playing Taps. It seems everyone loses it at that point. Somehow the song manages to be beautiful, tragic, and honorable all at the same time.

As long as we're talkin' funeral songs, I'm kinda partial to St. James Infirmary. There are many, many great versions of this classic. A very cool, relativly unknown version from Buffalo's own, Wilmer and the Dukes was the first I ever heard. One of the most recent (and among the best) is Van Morrison's funeral dirge version on What's Wrong With This Picture?

 

Correction: Before I have my head handed to me by a Waller with stinky garbage-plate breath, Wilmer and the Dukes started in Rochester. Sorry for the confusion.
