What song/video makes you cry?

DELTAQTE · #1 09-26-2001, 11:15 PM

hey sorors!

What video/song, no matter how many times you see it/hear it makes you sniffle? Here are mine:

VIDEOS
Aaron Hall "I miss you"
Everytime when he falls to the ground at the hospital, I start crying. Too bad he beat one of his baby mama's up in real life.

Brian McKnight "Back at one"
I love this video, but if my dead man comes back and whispers in my ear, i'm out da doe!

Boys to Men "Down on Bended Knee"
When this movie premiered on MTV and homeboy took off he glasses cause he was crying, I was crying right along with him.

SONGS
"Stand by me"
I forgot who sings this, but I think of sorors when i hear this song.

Kelly Price
Just about all her stuff makes me cry

Old gospel songs!!!!

You want to see a balling QTE, just put on an old school gospel song(I like Kirk Franklin, but he doesn't make me cry). there is this one song that called "The Touch of Mama's hand" that almost made me fall out. If anyone knows what man sings it, PUH-LEASE tell me.

I got more, but I'm sleepy

I agree with all your selections Soror QTE! I can add a few...
that song off of Set It Off (can't think of the name), but it's w/ Brandy, and nem. and almost all the songs on Mary Mary's CD...especially Can't Give Up Now! When I first heard it, I started bawling like a baby

cause I didn't get into medical school and I was feeling very rejected, but when I heard that song, it's like something came over me. I mean, every since I was younger, I have been a believer in God, but when I heard that song, it's like He had them to write it especially for me and I couldn't do anything except cry!

"This Woman's Work" By Maxwell

It makes me misty eyed because I remeber when I first heard it and broke down crying. For those who don't know, it's a remake from the film "She's Having A Baby" starring Kevin Bacon. In the film, Kevin Bacon and his wife are having a baby. The whole time they were trying to conceive and she was pregnant, he was wondering why he married her, and contemplating adultery.

Then, she goes into labor and has complications. He is sitting and thinking about how much he loves her and his unborn child. And, hating himself for having feelings of regret. This song is playing during this scene and it's enough to make a grown man cry, or at least a Classy Little Lady.

1. Who doesn't cry at "I Miss You"?? DeltaQT, if Aaron's abusive ways ruined it for you, I would have to say my impression was ruined when I saw the girl from the video half-naked on one of those 1-900 commercials.

2. "Fool Of Me" by Meshell N'Degeocello. Whoa.

3. "One Sweet Day"

4. Umm.. I don't know the name of the song. I think it's called "My Soul Is Anchored", and it's kinda old. I used to hear it every Sunday on the way to church with my daddy, and it always makes me think about him. Let me stop before the tears hit the keyboard.

And the number one make-you-wanna-cry, good-to-repeat-after-a-bad-breakup song is...

5. "I Can't Make You Love Me" - the one by Will Downing and some chick... MANNNN.

1) Donnie McClurkin's Great Is Your Mercy (Track #10) from his new CD makes me boo hoo. That song is absolutely BEAUTIFUL.

2) Boyz 2 Men's Mama song

And don't laugh, but....

3) Still by Lionel Richie.

4) Just Because by the late, great Johnnie Taylor. I love me some Johnnie Taylor.

1) "Now Behold the Lamb" ~ Kirk Franklin & The Family
(A fellow member of my college gospel choir would sing lead on this song and everytime I was in awe at how she could make it through the whole song without totally breaking down (though she was obviously moved)...could not have been me)

2) "Your Love" ~ Fred Hammond

3) "In Your Grace" ~ Kirk Franklin & One Nation Crew

4) "Hard To Say Goodbye" ~ Boyz-II-Men
