Interesting thread. Nobodies crying over raers. Strutters are real people.
I have another rather strange one: Stevie's part in "The Crown". Even when I play it at a club (which I do on the regular) it never fails to give me an immense rush. I mean his lyrics couldn't be further away from my life but I can't help but feeling with him big time.
I do recall so very well When I was just a little boy I used to hurry home from school I used to always feel so blue Because there was no mention in the books we read about my heritage So therefore any information that I got was education Bums, hobos at depot stations I would listen with much patience Or to relatives who told the tales that they were told to pass ahead And then one day from someone old I heard a story never told Of all the kingdoms of my people And then how we fought for our freedom All about the many things we have unto the world contributed You wear the Crown
We wear the Crown (Crystal Blake) We wear the Crown (Stevie Wonder)

Hey,
Here are a couple of my biggest tear-jerker joints:
-"Trouble of the World"-Mahalia Jackson (from the "Imitation of Life"-OST). -"Mother Why"-Willie Banks & the Messengers.
america the beautiful, don't be so cold how do you expecting our seeds gonna grow? when you trap us in the ghetto and show love to the other muthafuckers while we right here starvin' at home i'd cry if I thought that me shedding a tear might help then again, me shedding tears don't help i wanna call up to the president, just to see if he no help let him know you up shit creek yourself we all sinners facing the winter, with no socks and no shoes in a position, where we all gon' loose instead of penatentiaries, we gon' need more schools what the fuck is we gonna do? sit around and let the world pass us by? waitin' on a message from the Reverend and he ain't but another man, tryin' to get to heaven
the transcription really doesn't do it justice though.
Sorry to change the subject but does anyone else feel rage when they hear statements including the words "I wept"? It really makes me mad -- like can't you just say you "cried" and leave it at that, do you have to get so corny about it?

Fantastic film (and soundtrack). I just recently picked up The Mercenary. The only Corbucci western I've yet to see.
Ironically, my otherwise emotionally hard-as-nails friend (who shall remain nameless) ALWAYS used to start crying every time Rene & Angela's "You Don't Have To Cry" came on. Without fail.
Nice Tom Waits cut! Several of his songs have a way of making me tear up, even if they're not about the usual sad subjects. "Tom Traubert's Blues" has a line about a guy getting his Stacey Adams shoes wet that always breaks my heart, and "Soldier's Things" is a real tearjerker, too.
I'll add "Looking Into You" by Jackson Browne (don't know why, though; it's a song about visiting a house he lived in when he first moved out on his own) and "Kathleen's Theme" by Les McCann and Eddie Harris, possibly the only instrumental cut that has that effect on me.
i always loved minnie ripperton's "memory lane", but then i read here that she sang that song AFTER being aware that she had breast cancer...and listening to it after the knowledge of that,with those lyrics... has to make u feel emotional

Saddest Tom Waits song- 'Martha'
another sad number- 'Your Daddy Loves You' by Gil Scott Heron is sad in a sweet,regretful way. 'Pieces of a Man' is just downright SAD.
Check out the OG version of "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday" on the Cooley High soundtrack. By GC Cameron I believe. Also on one of his albums, though I can't remember which...
And a raer that makes me cry -- Bonnie Dobson's "Winter's Going" . Makes me hate myself for being a man.

I do recall so very well
When I was just a little boy
I used to hurry home from school
I used to always feel so blue
Because there was no mention in the books we read about my heritage
So therefore any information that I got was education
Bums, hobos at depot stations
I would listen with much patience
Or to relatives who told the tales that they were told to pass ahead
And then one day from someone old
I heard a story never told
Of all the kingdoms of my people
And then how we fought for our freedom
All about the many things we have unto the world contributed
You wear the Crown
We wear the Crown (Crystal Blake)
We wear the Crown (Stevie Wonder)

"evil" by stevie wonder
how do you expecting our seeds gonna grow?
when you trap us in the ghetto
and show love to the other muthafuckers
while we right here starvin' at home
i'd cry if I thought that me shedding a tear might help
then again, me shedding tears don't help
i wanna call up to the president, just to see if he no help
let him know you up shit creek yourself
we all sinners
facing the winter, with no socks and no shoes
in a position, where we all gon' loose
instead of penatentiaries, we gon' need more schools
what the fuck is we gonna do?
sit around and let the world pass us by?
waitin' on a message from the Reverend
and he ain't but another man, tryin' to get to heaven
