OK, so let's embrace this situation. Men can participate too, if you want. The question is, what songs make you get all teary even if you don't have PMS? Men that would mean you all the time and you don't actually have to get teary or admit that you do or anything.

Regarding men and "pms": once a month women have a biological and emotional purge. For men the toxins, literal and metaphorical, just back up and never get released, unless of course we allow ourselves to cry. This explains why we tend to become cranky old cusses as we age. I am reminded of the line in Dar Williams' When I Was a Boy "And I could cry all the time, now even when I'm alone, I seldom do." Songs that make me cry John's I Saw A Stranger With Your Hair Lucyka: For Once in Your Life and Song For Molly Dar Williams: In Love, But Not At Peace and After All Richard Shindell: Abuelita Greg Brown: Brand New 64 Dodge Kate Wolf: Here in California Dave Carter: When I Go and Gentle Soldier of My Soul Peter ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2003 11:15:41 EST From: ThePsyche@aol.com Subject: that time of the month songs For me there are two that always hit me....any time of the month! First, Gather The Family by Mustards Retreat. When done live, in a darkened theater, a a cappella, it really hits home. Second, another MR song, Solitary Beach. Gypsy Life by Gorka always breaks me up, takes me back to the first time I heard it and how fucked up my life was then and how his music saved me. Great thread Gina.

Others: If These Teardrops Had Wings, Vance Gilbert The Kind of Love You Never Recover From, Christine Lavin Stranger With Your Hair, John Gorka One Girl Cried, Tim O'Brien May I Suggest, Susan Werner Summer Of Love, Pete Nelson In My Father's Fields, John Cowan Off Topic, but since I mentioned Iris Dement...I recently saw Fred Eaglesmith for the first time, and he just blew me away...but he's got one of those 'love it or hate it' voices - lucky for me, I loved it...Anyway, I had this vision of a tour of all those sorts of vocally quirky artists, then took it a step further, to vocally unique AND depressing, and wondered what would happen if Fred Eaglesmith, Iris Dement, Jimmy LeFave, and Mary Gauthier went on tour together. They'd have to give kleenex out at the door!!

Anyway, seeing the title of your message made me realize that I have a few other tear jerkers in my repertoire. The ones I listed almost always do it. These two do it a lot of the time: Cold Missouri Waters by Cry, Cry, Cry Let Them In, by you know who - ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Tuesday, February 11, 2003 8:13 AM Subject: cry, cry crying > I like this thread.

No David Roth songs on your list? I hope you enjoy Darryl Purpose. You should also consider having him do a house concert. He is a wonderful house concert. I don't think there is anything that he does that makes me cry though. I bet these artists would love to know that they make us cry.
