What is a song that makes you cry? Why?

For me it's Kesha's "Tik Tok." It's not the kind of song most people cry over, but it brings back the worst painful memories for me. 😢

Hallelujah! But noy by the original artist, Leonard Cohen. I fell in love with Kate Voegele version first. Anyway, the part that gets me is the verse:

"I've seen your flag on the marble acrch,
And love is not a victory march,
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah!"

Most of us have this misconception that love is all warm and fuzzy. Ohhh, it's the fluttery feeling in our tummy when we kiss, or the way we can't stop thinking about them. Blah, blah, blah!

WRONG! That crap's for rookies! Love is an action word, and not a feeling at all. Love is how we treat that person who can't love themselves in that moment. Love in that willingness to put your vulnerable heart on the floor at the feet of another human being who behaves like a bull in a china shop because they are crippled in pain, all while never feeling regret or counting the scars sustained.

Oh, you'd be wrong to assume I suggest becoming a doormat to anyone. No! This is about belief in someone. This is about well-placed, unconditional-love. If you don't know this pain, you're truly missing out on one of the greatest gifts we are blessed with in our human state.

You can build a wall around yourself, to protect you from the outside world. "You're not gonna hurt me! I won't let you in!" Might as well live in a cage. Not me! I'll take my cold and broken hallelujah any day of the week, and twice on Sunday!

Either get busy livin', or get busy dyin'!

I heard this song for the first time shortly after my dad died of dementia. I cried. Not only for him... but knowing my wife would treat me horribly if they same thing happened to me.

Awww I’m sorry. That’s actually one of my favorite songs of hers.

A lot of songs bring back mostly happy memories for me, so I can’t think of one that would make me cry.

@MrEMann I love "Hallelujah." But I like the Rufus Wainwright version best
MrEMann · 51-55, M
@Nat15 never heard him... ever! Gotta look him up now. Kate McKinnon from Saturday Night Live did a surprisingly wonderful version as Hillary Clinton, right after Trump got elected. She even sang a new verse I hadn't heard before, right at the end. I loved it! I don't love her support of.... well, let's not go there! HaHa!
