Oh, woman, I hear you about the songs that evoke melancholy or tears...In fact, as I write this, I'm listening to Tupelo Honey...bittersweet memories of a long-lost love...tearing up and blaming it on you LOL!

 

"You can't stop us on the road to freedom...'cuz our eyes can see..."

 

Have you ever heard of this one:  Thao Nguyen Xanh - Sad Romance?  My old (saved) links don't work anymore (one was aimini dot net...???).  Anyway, youtube has the original by TNX blocked GGggrrrrrrrr, but it is one of the most melancholy music e-ver! 

 

Some others on the "sad" list, which could better be labeled "slow dancing, possible crying involved"...

 

Little Anthony, Going Out of my Mind

Dusty Springfield, The Look of Love

Boyz II Men, It's so Hard to say Goodbye to Yesterday

Marc Cohn, Walking in Memphis

Mike and the Mechanics, The Living Years

Allison Kraus, When you Say Nothing at al

Sarah Vaughan, The Shadow of Your Smile

Dionne Warwick, Anyone who had a Heart

Matt Monroe, Stranger in Paradise

Bill Withers, Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone

Nat King Cole, When I Fall in Love

 

And on and on and on and on...we might need to start a thread "What Song Makes You Cry!"

 

Sorry to highjack your thread, @eddyandme

 

 

 

 

 @MacDUFF

 

no problem - I just like these kinda threads - they bring back memories....
