Some songs in my iTunes library really need a kind of new star type. Something like a teardrop.
People who know me well, will know I’m an emotional person. Not embarrassed to let my tears flow during a movie or song. I want to list some songs in my Library which make me cry.
Of-course the mood and “cry-fullness” depends on everybody’s personal experiences in live. In my life my father died way too early. I was 20 years old. And last year my sister in law died at age 37 leaving behind 3 kids. Both lost there lives to cancer. I am 37… it makes you think a lot about life. I’m a lucky father of an almost 3 year old boy (Silas) and happily married with Cindy. I can’t stand the thought losing one of them or even worse, have to leave them behind. So most songs in the list touch me deep inside because all these experiences. I hope you enjoy the list, and please share me you’re list that can or does make you cry. Songs marked with an X always make me cry. The others can make me cry depening on my mood.
X Elvis Presley – Always on my mind (reminds me that I am neglecting to tell how much I love people close to me like Cindy, family and friends)
X Elvis Presley – Don’t cry daddy
Pink Floyd – Mother
Boudewijn de Groot – Avond
Jan Smit – Laura
X 3j’s – Ouderdom (hoping to grow old with Cindy)
Frans Halsema – Voor Haar (same as previous)
Willeke Alberti - Je hoofd weer op je schouder
Billy Joel – She’s Always a woman to me
John Denver – Annie’s song
John Denver – Looking for space
Pachelbel – Canon in D major
X Andrea Bocelli – Ave Maria (used on my fathers funeral)
X Paul de Leeuw – De vleugels van mijn vlucht
Ralph McTell – Streets of Londen
Rowwen Hèze – De peel in brand
Wim Sonneveld – Het Dorp (gives me an nostalgic feeling to the place and time I was born)
X Cat Stevens – Father & Son (reminds me my father didn’t see me get married and see my child)
X Rita Hovink – Laat me alleen (Tell’s me how it must feel to lose you’re partner in life, although the song is not about someone dying)

J’ai pleuré
[update] Just found a version of papa by Chantal Janszen on youtube.com
De smile die ik na het samenstellen van deze top 5 heb opstaan kan met geen smiley worden weergegeven. Slechts een afkorting dekt de lading ROTFL. Ik wens jullie allemaal genot toe met het luisteren. Helaas niet op de radio te luisteren komende vrijdag van 6 tot 9 zoals die 13 van Ruud de Wild. Maar je kunt gewoon hier terugkomen en afspelen
Dus niet Play on Demand maar Abspielen auf anfrage.
