  • Not guaranteed, but this one used to do it for me.

    I didn't recognize Lang by his name.
    I looked up some more of his images.

    This guy is hot.

  • "Tears in Heaven" by Eric Clapton.  He wrote it in tribute to his young son who died tragically.  It breaks my heart seeing him sing it.  A father's love song.

    I don't know this group. I just got done listening to the song. I sound cliched but I like the raw edgy quality to the song.
    As I listened, I was drawn to these words and I wrote them down the first time he sang them -- "dangerously twisted -- here I go again." And, funny, the signer repeats those very words a couple of times at the end of the vocals-part of the song- - "here I go again."

  • yeah, this is an older GM song.  Warren Haynes over the years became a little more boring to me, and his work with GM not as great as this song and the rest of their early stuff.

    That's sort of cool to watch and listen.
    I don't know the song, movie nor singer/actress.

    This is actress Helen Morgan singing The Little Things You Used To Do.  I first became familiar with this song years ago as it was included in the 1936 Warner Bros./Merrie Melodies animated short, The Coo-Coo Nut Grove.  The animated version being the better version, in my opinion.  Take a look and judge for yourself... https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x66qocw

    (I highly recommend that entire A Great Big World album! I enjoy the whole thing.)

    No, I can't guarantee a cry with the song that came first to my mind. But I specifically remember the very first time I heard Christina Perri's "Jar of Hearts."

    I know exactly where I was driving in my car, on what road -- and the song came on the radio by chance. She started to sing. I had to pull over and stop my car because of the beauty of her voice and song. I sat there stunned.
    She still stops me whenever I hear her. 

    And -- ha! - - if the beauty of Perri's voice does not make you cry, try watching the official music video here to the song -- the TERRIBLY over-the-top dancers in the background absolutely ruin the song. They'll get me crying. They just get worse and worse as the song goes on, ha!
    Keeping the camera on Perri would have been the much better idea to me.
    :)


    Christina Perri - -"Jar of Hearts"

    EDIT: --  I just now watched the video; I've not watched the video in a while -- it seems to have had minor adjustments from what I remember; but the over-the-top dancing remains.
    Funny -- Perri is in the video more in this video than the original version I saw -- they must have listened to me. Ha!

    I guess I still have those feels. She gets me every time.
    :)

    The whole song - - but those moments, 3:30 leading up to the beautiful seemingly-effortless note Perri hits at 3:38 -- I love her!

  • This one immediately came to mind.  The song is a conversation between a man and the woman he loved that died.  He is expressing pain over losing her while she is trying to reassure him.  As the song plays out he is spiraling further and further and she almost starts to reach a point where she is bluntly telling him that she can't be there to take away his pain anymore.  That she is gone and there's nothing he can do about it beyond finding acceptance.  Then it ends with her fading away and essentially begging not to be forgotten.

    OMG, wow -- simply your description alone is emotionally too much for me today. But it sounds like a song I might very much like.
