Yes. Like Jessie in Toy Story 2 (my second reference to that movie this week): When She Loved Me by Randy Newman.

Songs that make people cry?
Songs that are really poorly done. You know, bad off-tune vocals, untuned guitars, band not in sync, et cetera. Don .

Maybe a generational companion? * "Puff the Magic Dragon" also fought for the USA as ground support or suppression missions in Viet-nam. It was the name given to the AC-47s equipped with three 7.62 mm mini-guns that could saturate a 50 yd radius area with bullets. A 7.62 mm round is roughly equivalent to a .38" caliber bullet. Don't know if Jackie Paper was serving in-country at the time. Don .

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRHQAtKbRTk Another sad one - and it may already be mentioned, as I haven't yet gone through the whole thread, is Gilbert O'Sullivan's "Alone Again, Naturally". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_P-v1BVQn8 Another one is Tim McGraw's (YES, TIM McGRAW!!) "Don't Take The Girl" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vn6QdqxK3g

A song I have just recently come across is "Riding to New York" by Passenger. There's a few videos where he tells the story behind the song. Very touching.

Here Today by Paul McCartney, which is about John Lennon, usually sets me off.

Guy Clark's "Let Him Roll" is classic sad.

ROTFL!!! Me too. At least for now, but I will be hacking away over here with you until there's not a wet eye in the house.

Thanks for your insight, 'tis an interesting post and I don't know the answer. I do know that I admit that I am a particularly emotional person and neither my younger nor my older brother are such. FWIW, I am the middle son.
Songs can definitely slay me, especially ones I wrote. Songs about my late parents get me quite often. But I can also get weak with certain love songs now and again. Quote:
