OGTEleven Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 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.
Lurker Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Gilmour's solo on Comfortably Numb has done it to me a few times.

ieatcrayonz Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 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. 639697[/snapback] 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.
ajzepp Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Not bad at all.... I wonder what other songs put me on edge of crying. 640750[/snapback] 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.
Fezmid Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Old City Bar off the "Christmas Eve and Other Stories" album, by Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Especially live. CW

The Avenger Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Cats in the Cradle, (once I became a parent), Seasons In the Sun 639858[/snapback] 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...
buffaloboyinATL Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Seasons In the Sun 639858[/snapback] 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...
Cheeseburger_in_paradise Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 The National Anthem 639718[/snapback] Roseanne's version made me cry.
DevilsAlum Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 Let's see 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
sweet baboo Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 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
Tux of Borg Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 Orgasm Through Torture by Buffalo's own Cannibal Corpse.

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.

smokinandjokin Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 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.

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. Edited March 27, 2006 by The Dean
The Poojer Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 I prefer the harry chapin version, but hey thats just me Let's seeCats 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 642184[/snapback]
