Which Songs Have Made You Cry?

[darklinensuit]

Honestly, none of them.

- Jake and his Heart Of Stone

HAEWAFY and Beautiful Child both hold the potential to make me cry... but especially HAEWAFY. Just thinking about it makes me tear up.

[DrummerDeanna]

Oh yeah! Forgot about HAEWAFY....my sister once wrote it out and gave it to me...I was going through a rough time...that totally made me cry...

[pianogirl04]

It just occurred to me that there might be a reason HAEWAFY makes me cry... When I was little, I would cry over music boxes. Maybe I had the idea that it wasn't a box that played music, but music trapped in a box that wanted out and couldn't be free. It's a beautiful song regardless and I love it, but I'm thinking that might have something to do with it.

Silver Springs (the Lindsey/Stevie story)

Beautiful Child - a sombre song but so lovely too.

Say Goodbye - Because I think Lindsey and Stevie are still in love especially in their own little world when they perform this and look at each other the way they do.

Beauty and The Beast - Because she is singing about Mick, I love the "Stevie Live at Red Rocks" version, outstanding performance of this song.

Yeah. I don't think I've actually cried over that one, but the strings really get to me. It's something you don't really hear in too much Mac stuff, and it's something I really love in music.

The ending is just so sad.

Ah, "Songbird". Perhaps it's only because of the moment I was living, which was pretty bad. And that song was sort of 'wake up, somebody loves you anyway'. A gorgeous voice, a majestic piano... a really meaningful song to me, and still the only one that has actually made me explode into tears.

Not many which makes the mac kinda unique, since most artist don't make cry at all...

Beautiful Child: only live.
Goodbye Baby: live
Nomad: can't explain.
Edge of 17: mostly b/c of when I discovered it.
HAEWAFY: so very sad...
Say Goodbye: The lyrics are so very sad...

[Serrart]

These always make me very emotional:

Beautiful Child: it helped me to go through a tough period
Storms
Goodbye Baby (especially on Destiny Rules doc)
Why
Sara - Madison 2004: I've only heard the bootleg, but it moved me the way she performed it and the reaction of the crowd
Christian
Space Needle

Ahhhh...crap...ok, I'll admit it...

When they walked out on stage at the Don Kirshner Show taping in 1974 (the first time I ever saw them live & in person) I got pretty emotional...yeah, yeah, an 18 year old kid, with tears streamin' down his face... By the end of the first song, tears gone...I was partyin'!!!



...then, the first time I heard the studio version of "I'm So Afraid", I welled up.

Then in 1998 at the Long Beach Blues Festival, seeing Peter Green up there on-stage for the first time in my life, never EVER thinking I would ever see him in person, in his bright red shirt, playing "Albatross", "The Supernatural", "Rattlesnake Shake", "Green Manalishi", I had such tears of joy just cascading down my cheeks.


There, I came clean...you happy now? ( )

Not to get too gushy, but I think this thread is so beautiful. It's so great that FM can touch us and move us on so many different levels.

Songbird
Crystal
Landslide
Say Goodbye
Silver Springs
Beautiful Child

Never Going Back Again

Stevietunes:
Talk to Me

[Hawkeye]

OK sue me, but music typically doesn't make me cry. Puppy getting run over by a car, maybe, baby gets thrown in a trash can by her mother to die, 8 person masacre up in california, all tear inducing. I don't hear Lindsey doing an INCREDIBLE guitar solo and say man that guitar solo rocks so hard it makes me want to cry its so great. Or Stevie's vocal is just so danmed emotional and touching on Beautiful Child, It just makes me want to cry. So I just can't relate to you guys listing all these freaking songs that make you cry. There songs make me feel many things, but sadness and tears aint one of them. So I don';t care how sad some people think Goodbye Baby is, unless Stevie dies while she's performing it live I aint crying from it

[wondergirl9847]

ISA (lots of versions)
Red Rover (I weeped like a goof at the Dallas show. LOL)

[mylittledemon]

Well i don't cry at the drop of a hat either...BUT...usually I relate songs such as the ones I listed above to times of sadness in my life. You know, breaking up with someone or something like that. The songs usually REMIND me of sad experiences, etc.
