    "Angel" by Sarah McLachlan has special meaning to me now. One of the assistant teachers at my daughter's dance school died of cancer in November at the age of 15. One of the teachers and her class danced to that song at the recital yesterday with a dedication to her. I didn't know her but my heart breaks for her family.

    The song at the end of Pay it Forward (which is beautiful) is called "Calling All Angels" and is by Jane Siberry, if anyone wanted to look it up.

    My ultimate crying song is, for some reason, "Valentine's Day" by Bruce Springsteen. There is one verse he just sings so beautifully:

    Is it the sound of the leaves
    left blown by the wayside
    That's got me out here on this spooky old highway tonight
    Is it the cry of the river
    With the moonlight shining through
    That ain't what scares me baby
    What scares me is losing you

    I think it makes me cry because I think about my husband. We've been together for 15 years, since we were 19 and 20. Sometimes you take each other for granted. This song reminds me not to do that.

    Just today I heard "Holes in the floor of Heaven" It makes me think of my mom. I remember hearing that song with her and she said she liked the tune but she didn't like the workds because it made it sound like Heaven was a sad place to be. I still cry when I hear it though. She passed away almost 7 years ago. Miss her like crazy!!

    Garth Brooks, the Dance. It came on the radio right after my brother died and not just then, but every time since that I hear it, I cry.

    boy's don't cry. but i get kinda, something, when listening to good woman by cat power, landslide by fleetwood mac, and silent lucidity by queensryche.

    each one has a special meaning and a special place in me.

    America's national anthem for some reason. Like every time I hear it before a game I'm choking up.

    ^^^
    I like this one. I have cried before singing this. Especially having been in the military and honoring those who have served.

    ^^^This, and watching and or participating in Military Parades....since I was a Soldier too..Great Country..
