1.'don't know why' by norah jones because it reminds me of someone i should have made more of an effort for

2. 'how great thou art' because it was my grandfather's favorite hymn and i can remember him singing it with tears streaming down his face

3. 'cry me a river' harry connick jr's version

4. 'let her go' hootie and the blowfish

5. 'don't cry' seal

I guess I'm showing my age a little, but for me, when I think of songs that make me cry, there's only one name that come to mind--Frank Sinatra.

So here are 6 Sinatra songs that always make my cry; especially late at night, after I've had a few drinks, and the mist is rolling in from the sea.

In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning.

Last Night When We Were Young.

When Your Lover Has Gone.

Willow Weep For Me.

Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out To Dry.

You And Me (We Wanted It All).


If you don't know these songs, check 'em out. And have a good cry. -SSS

ok here's my picks...

Tiny Children - The Teardrop Explodes
Imaginary Love - Rufus Wainwright
Everything You Need - Adem
Kissing The Lipless - The Shins
Forever Everton - Everton FC Squad 1972
(this last one makes me cry every time i hear it...it's a corny football song about MY club, but it also reminds me of my dad, he made me a 'blue', took me to my first game...they still play it at the game now even though it's over 20 years old and WAY out of date...i swear i'm welling up just thinking about it right now...jeez)
