I’m a bit of a softy, especially with music and certain films/scenes from films.
And it’s a bit all over the place.
Since my dad died, I can’t listen to My Father’s House by Springsteen, and I’ve never been a big Bruce fan. But I listen to that now, and I’m crushed.
Certain operas/arias bring me to tears.
Transatlanticism by Death Cab is always rough, even if I’m in a great mood. I’ll end up drifting back into some former relationship and it’ll get me misty eyed.
Too many songs bring tears to my eyes for reasons of joy, sadness, yearning, etc…
Here’s a weird one. Superman The Movie. Christopher Reeve. When he grabs Lois and that helicopter(pilots inside) from falling from the roof, I snort cry. I just wish sometimes there was this “miracle man” who could do stuff like that and give us all something to believe in and be so thankful it exists.
Private Ryan, Schindler’s List, Sling Blade…. All crushers…
What do you have?

That got me.
My dad was literally in a box sitting on the fireplace next to me.
In a way he did watch it with me. It was quite a night.
