This song makes me cry like a baby. You probably have ones that make you do the same.

"Let Them In." Written by John Gorka. Recorded in '91 by David Wilcox. Lyrics and context are here.

Time was, a lot of Wilcox's songs -- borrowed or his own -- would strike me as tremendously profound in their simplicity. I don't keep up with him and his work so much anymore. Maybe I should.

I am really embarrassed to mention the songs that really make me cry, because they are by bands like ABBA and Air Supply and Barry Manilow and everyone will point at me and laugh.

None, now. But last February sometime you had posted River Deep on Metachat (remember?) which is the first song I downloaded here. I was crying for a month or seven... It was so right spot-on in my life at the time and such I cannot describe. Then I joined Metachat. I do not cry anymore.

Gary Jules - Mad World

The Band's "It Makes No Difference." Gets me every time. Throat closes, tears well, especially if I'm listenin' to it on the train, goin' over the river; I'm a goner...

Dylan's "One of Us Must Know," too... I'm gonna need a minute...

Five for Fighting's Riddle.

For some reason, it gets me teared up every time. Also, there was a country song, by Colin Raye, which came out around the time I lost my Grandfather. I wanted to sing it at his service, but I was too choked up to do so. It's called "Love, Me."

Crazy Train - Emm Gryner through a somewhat Tori Amos-ish interpretation of the Ozzy classic. Shoutout to the sad lost homies (yeah, I'm looking in your general shambling direction Eideteker).
