Day 23: A great sad, wallow-in-your-grief song
It's difficult to choose just one sad song. Each of my favorites strikes me a little differently, and when I'm in a sad sort of mood, any song can make me cry. There is one that gets me every time, though: "A Boy and His Frog" by filker Tom Smith. I think because it mourns a loss I still feel, and mourns it from such a poignant perspective, it can always touch me.

Your pick for Song-Guaranteed-To-Make-Me-Cry is my pick for the same category. Even if Tom Smith hadn't done all the other awesome songs he's done, I'd love him for "A Boy and His Frog" forever.

Absolutely. I need to explore more of Tom Smith's work, but this song holds such a sacred spot in my heart that I almost don't want to make room for more of his songs. Gah. This song.... I'd just finished watching Date Night before I started this entry, and I was so cheerful and giggly after watching it that I was convinced I wouldn't be able to find a song sad enough to make me feel anything. By the time I finished listening to "A Boy and His Frog," I was crying...and typing through the tears. :)
