I hated this song SO much when it was out, but one of my best friends loved it. Whenever it came on when we were together, we would argue about whether we would change the channel.
Today is the fourth anniversary of her death.
I now love the song and listen to it in full whenever it comes on. It always makes me cry.

It has to be Dance With My Father. The summer after my Dad died, I was on a trip through the south, taking pictures of family graves and places where his family lived. That’s the summer the song came out and they seemed to play it every hour.
“At This Moment” – Billy Vera and The Beaters
I’d fall down on my knees
I’d kiss the ground that you walk on baby
If I could just hold you
If I, could just hold you
If I, if I could just hold-hold you, again
and for a different reason, Different Drum, by The Stone Ponys, Linda Ronstadt’s first hit.

Also, I think I’ve posted this before, but this song gets me every time…
No idea why it’s flagged on YouTube, except maybe that it’s too sad for some of Jim Henson’s younger fans…
@sdeutsch , that was amazing. Of course, then I started clicking on some of the related videos of his memorial service, and I collapsed in a puddle on the floor.
@sdeutsch: I’m at work and can’t go through all that YouTube stuff! Why can’t you just post the title, and still link it! (nothing personal; it’s a Fluther peeve of mine when people do that)
@zephyr826: I am a huge Henson fan, too; and I can totally relate.
@hearkat, @zephyr826, & @sdeutsch: If you ever find yourself in Maryland; there’s a wonderful statue of Jim & Kermit in front of the student union on campus (University of MD).
@row4food The line in “Graceland” where he says:
“As if I didn’t know you,
as if I didn’t know my only child,
As if I didn’t know
the way she brushes her hair off her forehead..”
always makes me cry and think of my two sons.
@hearkat Sorry ‘bout that – I don’t usually do that, but I’ve never seen that song anywhere but in that video, so I didn’t think anyone would recognize the title…
@zephyr826 I know, the videos of Jim Henson’s memorial service, with Big Bird singing It’s Not Easy Being Green? Total puddle on the floor… Actually, just thinking about his memorial service sometimes gets me all teary…
@bythebay I’ve always wanted to see that statue – now that I’m back on the east coast, maybe I’ll get the chance!
I had to stop listening to Grace by Jeff Buckley for a while. Even though I knew his vocal swoops and melismas were a bit melodramatic, they made me cry. It’s like opera. I think he’d’ve been a good tenor for opera. If he’d only lived long enough. :(
wasted of paint by bright eyes.
i just heard it recently for the first time, and i think it’s an incredible song, but it’s really incredibly painful to listen to. read the lyrics while you listen to the song if you’d like.
Nothing Compares 2 U by Sinead O’Connor… for real!
Nuttshell by Alice in Chains
I’ve Been Loving You Too Long by Otis Redding
You asked: What’s a song that almost ALWAYS makes you cry? “I can See Clearly Now” because my daughter made a recording of it, when she was 8.
Cry, as in painful: the same song, the Jimmy Cliff version.
Love and Memories OAR not becasue I relate to the lyrics or something like that, but because of the nostolgic memories I have associated with it. I bought it off iTunes in a really good part in my life; as I said, nostolgia.
@Zen: That was an amazing performance of a truly beautiful song; it brought me to tears.
“Cortez the Killer” Dave Matthews & Warren Haynes…
It is always out of pure ecstasy though and enjoyment, tickles my nerves
If you wanna here a really sad song though…“One More Dance” by NaS
I know he’s a rapper but this song is nothing like his other rhymes
‘A Little Respect’ by Erasure
‘I Will Follow You Into the Dark’ by Death Cab for Cutie
