Make me Cry

[imec]

What's the last song you heard that made you cry? Some songs are just so emotional. For me it's not the words (I often don't even notice them), it's more the "feel" of the song. An it's not a "sad" thing just, well, emotional. (btw, this one did it to me when I just heard the song without the video - had no idea she was crying too)...

[bixaorellana]

There is a song that just destroys me each & every time. That's pretty unfortunate, because it's one of those deathless hits that's been covered by everyone including Muzak so I'm sure to blindsided by it in public on a regular basis.
(Shit ~~ now I'm sniffling over the example I'm checking in order to post it here!)
Just listen to the song & don't get hung up on how over the top Juan Gabriel is. He's a great performer & it takes major balls to be that outré



AMOR ETERNO
Juan Gabriel (Mexico)

Tú eres la tristeza de mis ojos,
Que lloran en silencio por tu amor.
Me miro en el espejo y veo en mi rostro
El tiempo que he sufrido por tu adios.
Obligo a que te olvide el pensamiento,
Pues siempre estoy pensando en el ayer.
Prefiero estar dormida que despierta
De tanto que me duele que no estes.

Como quisiera, ay, que tu vivieras,
Que tus ojitos jamás se hubieran cerrado nunca,
Y estar mirandonos.

Amor eterno, e inolvidable.
Tarde o temprano estaré contigo
Para seguir amandonos.

Yo he sufrido tanto por tu ausencia,
Desde ése día hasta hoy, no soy feliz.
Y aunque tengo tranquila mi consciencia,
Sé que pude haber yo hecho más por tí.

Oscura soledad estoy viviendo,
La misma soledad de tu sepulcro.
Tú eres el amor del cual yo tengo
El más triste recuerdo de Acapulco.

Como quisiera, ay, que tu vivieras,
Que tus ojitos jamás se hubieran
cerrado nunca, y estar mirandonos.

Amor eterno, e inolvidable.
Tarde o temprano estaré contigo
para seguir amandonos.

*****
You are the sadness in my eyes,
which cry in silence for your love.
I look into the mirror and I see in my face
the times I've suffered for your farewell.
I tell myself to bury your memory.
Well, I'm always thinking of yesterday.
I'd rather be sleeping than awake,
for the pain I suffer in your absence

*Chorus*
How I wish, ay, that you still lived
That your dear eyes had never closed,
an that we were gazing at each other.

Eternal love,
unforgettable --
Sooner or later I will be with you
So we can continue loving each other.

I have suffered so much because of your absence
From that day forward, I have been unhappy.
Even though my conscience is clear,
I know I could have done more for you.

In dark solitude I live now,
The same solitude as that of your tomb.
Your love is my most poignant memory of Acapulco.

*Chorus*
How I wish, ay, that you still lived
That your eyes had never closed,
and that we were gazing at each other.

I cry at the drop of a hat, its pretty pathetic. But this one had me going when I watched Mama Mia recently, now I just have to think of it and I am off. In fact, here I go

Boy, the second that clip started I remembered this old tv ad.

Tilly, get an entire box of kleenex before you click on this:

This is a tough subject for me -- I know that there are some songs that pierce my soul, but I just can't think of any right now.

imec, the link you put up doesn't work, it says it is 'disabled'

There are quite a few songs that can make me cry/think/feel sad, here's a couple:

The Rose - Bette Midler: Link with words:



And also I will always love you - Whitney Houston:

[bixaorellana]

Hmm ~ That Duffy link is working for me.

You can right-click on any embedded youtube video here -- even if it says disabled -- and choose "Watch on YouTube". You can also just double-click on the embedded videos to see them on YouTube.

That's a good idea. I think I will do that.

it's not available for viewing in the UK, though.
