So, I'm a huge fan of touchy-feely sappy songs. They totally fuel my scrapping mojo. :crying::thumbup: Not cheesy-sappy, but sad songs. I LOVE a good sad/sentimental song. I am looking for new songs to get weepy over (is this weird?) so please share your favorite (or not-favorite) songs that make you get all emotional or sentimental. I will share a few of mine with you:

-"This Woman's Work" by Kate Bush (OH! This one gets me.)
- "People Help the People" by Birdy (good for a cry if you're feeling like people are cold, cruel and hateful towards each other)
- "Don't Wait For Me" by Josh Garrels (so sad)
- "Drive" by The Cars (reminds me of being a kid... I have a memory of listening to this in the car driving home from somewhere late at night, lying in the back seat of my parent's car watching the lights streak across the ceiling)
- strangely, "Together" by William Shatner (I did a slideshow of my kids to this song... it reminds me of them for some reason :crying:)
- "Under You" by Better Than Ezra (reminds me of DH... young love. Love the lyrics)
 
I can't listen to "Three Crosses on the Side of the Highway" by Randy Travis without crying. Just can't do it. The other one that always makes me cry, and that I can't listen to at all is a song recorded by Keith Whitley but not released before his death called "Tell Lorrie I love her." My husband used to sing it to me and dance me around the living room, so it is very sentimental for me.
 
I dont know any of those. Here are mine:


Arlington

If Youre reading This
Then they do
Youre gonna miss this
temporary home
watch

If heaven wasnt so far away
 
This Woman Work by Kate Bush ( i cry ever time such a good song)
Dear Mr. President by Pink ( i hear a certain part in it and i loose it i bawl like a baby. Just thinking about it has me teary eyed.)

and a few others i have to look in my music folder.
 
I have tons of songs that get me.
Gravity is one of my all time fav songs!
and LOVE The Greatest Man I Never Knew.

Let me get my list together.
 
LOL Adele is the queen for sad songs for me. I second Luka and Breathe Me by Sia just haunts me.

For some reason Defying Gravity makes me cry. It's just both triumphant but tragic for me at the same time.
 
I'm not a sad song/sappy song kind of person at all so I skip over most of them but the one song that makes me cry if it comes on the radio is the song DH and I danced to at our wedding: Eric Clapton's Wonderful Tonight.

One of those Lives by Brad Paisley (about a child's cancer coming back, this CD came out about a week after we found out Keira's cancer was back, and I had no idea there was a song like this on the disc. Took me about 6 months to make it through the whole song, listen to it)

YES!!! Arlington gets me every time...

I also cry at Lee Greenwood's God Bless the USA - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q65KZIqay4E


And all religious songs sang at funerals... Amazing Grace, Abide with Me, The Old Rugged Cross Just as I am, The Lord is My Shepard... I'm a sloppy mess at funerals when the organ begins to play... even if I don't really know the person... I'm bawling as if I am a close family member.
