Guppy ~ I didn't write that one. Someone else did. I thought that was you. It sounded like you. Once I saw that poem I got even more pissed. Because it was like someone was pretending to be me. Not that I needed another reason to go off, but it made me go off further.<BR>
<BR>
Ever since then, I've posted as Michael (with some weird comment)<BR>
<BR>
I don't really know who set me off and I don't really care that much anymore. They can go ahead and say whatever they want about me now. I feel like I suck. Make fun of me. <BR>
<BR>
&lt;whine&gt;<BR>
Between Evangeline who loves me but doesn't want to be with me and that's fine with both of us, Paper - who wants to suck up lots of my time but just wants to be friends for a long indeterminate time while she dates other people even though I think she's got a crush on me and even though I guess we're dating -- because she's scared of love and anti-commitment which I can agree with but damn I wish she would at least tell me how well or poorly I'm doing here, and Lovely Lisa - Miss Not Right Now and Maybe Not Ever but why is she studying up on me, and 2 Miss I haven't-asked-her-to-go-out-with-me-yet because I'm so confused and tired already and I can't really juggle women anyways's, I just want to go to sleep and forget that women even exist.<BR>
&lt;/whine&gt;<BR>
<BR>
I don't need the love of any woman. Too much damn work.<BR>
It's only love after all.<BR>

Dee - ohhhhhh, you meant Healy's version.  Okay, I'll try.  But I'm very, very critical of people doing cover versions of the fab four so it better be good.  I'm off to find it now.

There was a thread on a Usenet's alt.fan.cecil-adams about "Songs that make you cry". The only three I could think of were "Let It Be" by the Beatles (I like that song a lot more than "Guitar Gently Weeps", which seems a little overly done to me (not that Let It Be is all that subtle either)), "It's a Wonderful World" (Louis Armstrong version), and bagpipe covers of "Amazing Grace".

"The Rose" by Bette Midler makes me cry because it reminds me of my Uncle Greg, who died of lung cancer last August.

Misti~ No one can match Bette on 'The Rose', especially the movie version....but Leanne Rimes comes the closest I have ever heard to matching the emotion....and what a voice...<BR>

  I just read *Giving up...or in...* and I just wanted to let you know that the last line reminded me of something I said to Chris on the phone last night. I understand that feeling perfectly. I've always dreamed of finding someone who could understand me and know me and STILL want to be with me...now that I've found him, I keep saying crazy things like,"I don't deserve this" and telling him that I'm the kind of person who should live in Africa and feed the hungry.<BR>
  If you ever need someone to talk to, e-mail me or ICQ me or call me. <BR>

   I've always loved "I Saw Red." I just love the beginning! Kinda strange that such a vulnerable song is on the same CD as "Cherry Pie."

  Well as for songs that make you cry I'd have to say that one that often makes me cry is "Holes in the Floors of Heaven" by Steve Wariner.  <BR>
  Also, the lyrics to "With Arms Wide Open" by Creed, "Wish You were Here" by Pink Floyd, and from a personal perspective "Freebird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd means a lot from me.<BR>
<BR>
That's me for now<BR>

Hmmm...(popping head in) How is everyone?<BR>
All is good enough here.  I stopped stressing a loooong time ago.  Though- I still don't have mu job back...and the "other guy" incident is covered with dust in my head.  What did I do to deserve such a crappy summer?  *grins*  Oh well...no good to whine.<BR>
<BR>
As for songs that make me cry right now I am allllllllll about Bonnie Raitt and "I Can't Make You Love Me" cause well...it just says it.  And "Keeper of the Stars" by Tracey Byrd gives me cold chills.  Its very sentimental to me.  <BR>
<BR>
Misti- I read the real love letter.  I am still waiting all my life for the man who will write me a love letter.  It brought tears to my eyes just cause...well...that is what I wish for at 11:11 and every other time I wish.  You guys are just so blessed.<BR>
<BR>
Jenna- I don't know the story but I am happy for ya just cause I am probably in the whole same boat as you and if my crush would pay this much () attention to me I would be blissed out too.  *grin*  So I will settle for being happy for others.<BR>
<BR>
Uncle Kev-  Got your snail mail.  HUGE kiss your way.  Thanks for being the only man who has made me smile this week.  <BR>

To everyone else a general hey...<BR>

aye aye...another vote for Lois armstrong's,"It's a wonderful World"...also there is a country song...I can't remember the name of the song or the artist...but the song was about a woman receiving a postcard from her boyfriend/husband...a letter from 'paradise'...well...he died in a plane crash after mailing that card and she received it after learning of his death, the words appeared to have been written from heaven...that DAMN song made me cry! *SNIFF*

goodness -- how did me commenting that Joshua's song makes me weepy turn into the 'the ultimate, rip out your heart, make you weep song?'<BR>
<BR>
Why does 'What a Wonderful World' make you guys weep? Louis all ways make me feel perky and happy.... esp. 'on the sunny side of the street' (TK's middle name is Louis)<BR>
<BR>
I normally HATE Mariah Carey but her song 'Hero' makes me weep every time because it was played at a dear friends funeral, he died of an a AID's related illness and he WAS a hero. We used to work together going into schools teaching... it was too late for him, but I'm sure he saved several young men.<BR>
<BR>
The other very unlikely one is by Guns and Roses,  but it also makes me cry because of love lost -- between the ages of 11 - 15 I 'dated' a sweetheart called Karl,  we didn't do much more than holding hands, but his funeral.... TEARS -- and to this day when I hear it. (sigh) I STILL wonder what would have come of our romance.<BR>

Angel-  "Wish You Were Here" is the country song you are thinking of...it makes me cry too.  EVERYTHING makes me cry.  I am SUCH a sap.<BR>
<BR>
I don't think of Louis's song as a sad one though..."What a Wonderful World"...seems happy to me.  Heart-felt yes...but happy.<BR>
<BR>
As for EbUlLiEnt songs...How about "Come on Eileen"?  Or "Tainted Love"?  Classic.  Soooooo classic.  *Grin* And "I Will Survive"...that song always makes me laugh when I sing it cause its SUCH an excuse to be overdramatic.  <BR>

<BR>
for anyone who loved the poetry of Paula Harris as much as I did (first time I'd heard of her was today, she's got several books out though)... she is featured on a web site called 'Street Women Press' (apparently because of a desire to make poetry readily available to the average person on the street.')<BR>
Its worth checking out -- Misti some if may appeal to you. www.streetwomen.co.nz<BR>
<BR>
My vote for perk-me-up song ... theres a few that make me giggle every time... "baby's got back" by sir-mix-alot (AKA I like big butts) cause this baby got back. LOL.... 'Tequila' by ALT and the lost civilisation .... or Day-o by either Harry Balafonte or by Shaggy.... actually anything by Shaggy does it for me.<BR>
