What Are Your Favourite weepies
They don't have to be sad, they are just the songs that bring a lump to the eye and a tear to the throat, they invoke moments sometimes treasured sometimes perhaps lost love, Aaaah!
Here are a couple of mine inspired by listening to The Who and their great Album Tommy. Christmas (from the above album), Quote:
'Cos of the memories of krimbo when mine where that sort of age. (Though I must confess the rest of that track is a tear jerker for completley different reasons). Honey Bobby Goldsboro Just because..... By the way if you're wondering, what's this change that's come over Less, I bought 10 hankies for £3.00 today and I'm going to get my monies worth! So go on, get out that box of tissues and think about your sentimental little weepie. http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/sad/sad0004.gif |

Re: What Are Your Favourite weepies
Don't -Elvis Presley
This does it for me. I'm right back 47 years ago and there's been the chucking of a ring at a young airman, a week of the worst heartache and then the phone rings and when I answer it this is playing on the other end. I still cry when I hear it - I'm sniffling now. :( P.S. I took the ring back - and I married him. :D |

Re: What Are Your Favourite weepies
Cannot think of one song that brings tears to my eyes Less or makes me come over slushy and sentimental.
This worried me, perhaps I am an ice-maiden ... :( |

Oh katex, how sad, it either means you've no imagination, (which I don't think is the case 'cos of your connections to the ossy' Thespian type people), or nobody has affected you in a moving, nostalgic way, tears, are part of memories, as well as smiles, you have my sympathy for your lack of memories. :( Ice-Maiden no, surely not? You've been out of the freezer long enough to have thawed by now! :) |

Re: What Are Your Favourite weepies
YouTube - Gershwin - Rhapsody in Blue pt.2/2
This is another that I love. It reminds me of my dad who used to play it on piano (perhaps not quite as well as Lennie Bernstein), of my childhood and of my husband who bought me the LP of Bernstein's first version for my birthday in 1969. I had the slow movement, with the short violin solo, played at his funeral along with #2, below (we both loved Miller). Blimey, Less, can I borrow one of those hankies? YouTube - Moonlight serenade by Glenn Miller and his Orchestra |
Re: What Are Your Favourite weepies
Think less better start shering the hankies with everyone, were all going to be blubbering wrecks by the end of tonight
The second one of west enders was a favourite of my grans and played at her funeral |

Re: What Are Your Favourite weepies
This one has me aged about 3 and I'm sitting underneath our piano. My mum is playing this (and, yes, she's just as good as this bloke) and it makes me cry, not howling - just softly weeping because it's beautiful and it's my mummy playing it.
YouTube - Grieg Piano Concerto, 2nd Mvt. Pawel Mazurkiewicz Oh I'm destroyed now, Less, I can't go on! |
Re: What Are Your Favourite weepies
Here's one that makes me wish I was talented enough to sing it and also, be lucky enough to have some one to sing it to!

Re: What Are Your Favourite weepies
And I always wanted to be able to sing like this:-
YouTube - Anna Netrebko / A. Dvořák - Rusalka but I just had a passable mezzo-soprano. It reminds me of my mum, again, as we had very similar tastes until Elvis came along. Anyway, re this clip, nobody should have such a fantastic voice and be so beautiful. It's just not bl**dy fair. :D |

Re: What Are Your Favourite weepies
Frank Sinatra singing My Way always makes me cry. It was my Grandad's favourite song, he always sung it as his party piece. I have Sinatra's greatest hits in my car and I can't always bear to listen to that song, much as I love it I have to skip over it most times.

Re: What Are Your Favourite weepies
And finally.....before I weep my way up to bed, that blasted beautiful woman again, singing my party-piece when I was about 10 (Mum on the piano and I sang it in English - "Oh my beloved, father, I love him, yes, I love him. I'll go to Ponta Rosa to buy a wedding ring......etc." - and it was really a bit too high for me). It's a lovely piece though. Good old Puccini.
YouTube - Anna Netrebko Oh mio babbino caro |
Re: What Are Your Favourite weepies
Just a quick thought, It could be expanded to those moments in a film where the woman watching is about to burst into tears and yet her feller just happens to have a tissue ready for her!
(I'll let you into a secret here girl's, HE was getting himself a tissue, but you assumed he was getting it for you, so what else can he do but put on a brave face, otherwise the moment is lost!). |
Re: What Are Your Favourite weepies
OH MY GOD!!!
The part in this film ( officer and a gentlemen ) where she goes to walk out of the door crying, but he stops her and whispers " shhhhhh " in her ear, while kissing her neck :o The song gives me a lump in the throat too YouTube - Joe Cocker & Jennifer Warns - Up Where We Belong |

Re: What Are Your Favourite weepies
Bowie's Heroes.
YouTube - David Bowie - heroes - original video 1977 It reminds me of being seventeen, and of breaking up with my twenty year old girlfriend in the Hacienda. I was wearing a raincoat, covered in photographs of myself, and painted with poetry, and she was wearing a full length fur dress. God, I could weep, not at the musical memory, but at what we were wearing.:D Really good thread. Music is amazing at touching our sadnesses, as well as the joy we've lived through. Have enjoyed listening to other people's choices, and reading the snippets of biography.:) |
Re: What Are Your Favourite weepies
Well thank you, to all that have added to this thread tonight, there has been quite a diversity, I've enjoyed all the input so far, (message to self, buy two packs of those hankies in case of further comment).
Isn't it wonderful though that not only can we have the memories but also the ease with which we can share them with others, thank you modern technology, the web, and certainly as seems to have been proved Utube! Oh, yes before I go thanks accyweb, without you my friends would be fewer and I would have less people to argue with! :alright: |
Re: What Are Your Favourite weepies
Shut up, you've got me fillin' up...you old softy.:D

Re: What Are Your Favourite weepies
some may be sad for varying reasons but all i'm certain are cherished fer those same personal reasons, good thread less.
