I used to stoic as all get out, but have turned into a crier in later years. I think the combination of having raised a family and the passing of my parents has made the concept of 'family' and 'unconditional love' more resonant.
Having your on children might be the first time you start putting another humans needs before your own. It makes you realize that others have put your needs before their own for years. Now, any movie, or even a commercial, that pulls on the family-heartstrings will get me a bit emotional. I get choked up about story lines so easily now - and good musical underscoring just intensifies it. |

My mom passed of cancer when i was 3. When i was young, my family would always tell me that my mom would sing me this song when i was a baby. Apparently she was really fond of this song. And she told them to remind me that every time i looked up and saw a rainbow in the sky, that it was her smiling down at me.
A few months ago my father passed away. The very next morning i stepped out onto my balcony to see the most gorgous, brilliant, bright double rainbow. It stretched from end to end. Brightest and boldest i had ever seen. The two of them.... Weird? Symbollic? Coincednce? I don't know....but this song always makes me cry, especially now. |

One of Enya's songs makes me cry because it reminds me of my Mom's death.

To Kill A Mockingbird - the scene where the old man in the balcony tells Scout, "Stand up, Jean Louise, your father's passing," always gets me.
For songs - Riders on an Orphan Train. I know the Tom Russell song but I understand someone else wrote it. I first heard it years ago when my daughters were very young, which probably made it substantially more poignant. If you have kids, particularly if they're young, this song hits hard |

The Olympics, World Cup, and even the NFL games in London I can understand as we are importing that shit and want to put a stamp on it. Games between teams of American League sports playing one another though? Hard pass as they are not representing the nation... they are just members of a regional team. Just get to the damn game. |
