"Long Long Time" by Linda Ronstadt (this live version isn't as good as studio version [not mixed as well or as polished, vocally], but still, lyrically, it's one of the saddest songs - ever.)

You don't expect much depth from these guys, but the lyrics will sneak up on you.

another song from my current obbsession

Dennis Wilson - End Of The Show

This makes me happy & giggle alittle because of the upbeat kiddie type music & referring to a woman as a loose balloon & wanting her to pop



When I was depressed or sad lots of songs could make me cry but I can easily pick this because I related to it, Miranda Cosgrove has a great voice for it & idea of her relating to this upsets me a lot

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAfYBOsQQY8[/youtube]

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oextk-If8HQ[/youtube]

This song doesn't make me cry, but it makes my hairs stand on end, no matter how many times I listen to it.

I love them both!

These are by my favorite band who i met back in 2011. The first song actually brought me to tears the first time i heard it because my dad passed away the day simple plan announced they had finished recording the album and then i heard the song for the first time on fathers day the next year. I have always had a strong connection with their music like the fact i'm the same age and have the same first name as the lead singer(well the english version, his is pierre and mine is peter) but this one takes the cake.

Gone Too Soon
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hp9rpC6Yt1A[/youtube]

This next song is the one that introduced me to the band and i also feel it fits what i've gone through in life. Coincidently i own the same year make and model car as the girl is driving. I've owned it since before the song was released.

Untitled (how could this happen to me?)

And finally there's this new song which i also feel a strong emotional connection with since it describes how i feel.

Lucky One
