Sad
Songs That Make You Cry
|
The odd thing about sad songs is that they can be happy
songs as well. That song that meant everything good with
the old girlfriend can make you cry with the opening notes
today.
Sometimes that sad song can indicate an upcoming hope, or
desire to to climb out of that sad situation. I've always
believed that without the sad stuff, we'd never appreciate
the good stuff.
Everything ever created by man has been made so by some
driven need he didn't have.
Or, to impress a girl.
It's always about something that he doesn't have, and has
to work to achieve. Sad songs are the stuff that fuel our
dreams to become reality.
Personally, I don't cry because of songs. For me, it's
movies. Specifically Christmas movies. I've cried at the
end of every version of "A Christmas Carol" I
ever saw, including Bill Murray's "Scrooged".
And, <snif> The Nightmare Before Christmas.
<ulp> Yeah, even 2003's Elf.
* note for the ladies - If you didn't feel "included"
with the above, please understand that it was in no way
meant to be sexist. Feel free to exchange all masculine
refrences above to the feminine equivilent. (boy=girl, etc).
Also, I'd like my non-Christian friends and visitors to
know that my personal teariness about Christmas movies ("Holiday
movies", as you call them) is not to be taken as any
attack or affront to your personal faith or religion, or
lack thereof.
