Do Any of Your Songs Ever Make You Cry When You Sing Them?
My new one sort of does. Not sure why. When I get to the chorus I really miss so many friends...
It's here:

Any of your songs tough to get through?

No, not me...not really...I dont do lyrics Bob,as you probably know, cause I have stated it here before, aint my thang....but some of the instrumentals have apparently have been very inspiriing and moving when I performed them at venues and such like special music for church services....some have said they have brought a tear. I guess it depends on your current mood or particular state of mind you may be at that time in your life too...but obviously I would not want that to happen when playing at a gig/bar .everybodies drinks get all salty and the food would get all sloppy
I dunno
my thoughts FWIW

That is such a sad song, beautiful and sad. I nearly cried thinking about you playing that as you weep. Missing friends isn't easy to get through at all.

My song "Mother Mary", I wrote and recorded it two months before my Mom died of Cancer in January. She got to hear it before she died, and she thought it was sad. It was meant to honor her, but she knew why I wrote it...and we both knew she would not be around much longer. I am still dealing with what my family went through losing her, I have good days and bad. The hardest part, at times, is when I am playing with my Son as she lived for the days to be with her grandchildren.He snaps me right out of it....... Anyway.......
I have it on my IAC page, but I won't perform it again unless it is a very special occasion to remember her.

That's a good sign. Writing something that hits you that deep is a great feeling - you feel like you've reached so far inside of you that it hurts - but in that good way - it's like you're seeing God - you're just so overwhelmed with honest emotion. It might be because you've been hiding from yourself while trying to finish that darned demo. Now all of a sudden, everything you had built up inside you floods all out at once. I'm glad you have music to channel it through. If you were a hurricane you could do some damage.
When I used to have my bipolar days, my songs would often make me cry, but that was a mania thing. But I still get chills when I write something true. And sometimes I smile like a fool, not believing that the muse picked me to channel through. Usually the big emotions hit me when I'm writing, rather than when I'm performing. Your songs have made me cry more than once, especially late at night with the family sleeping nearby and you singing soft, so as not to disturb anyone.
I miss you, my friend.

Open Arms and Promises. Only because it has to do with @30 yrs of marriage.

One of mine does - it's called "If We Should Ever Meet Again". Another one about departed souls. I've never recorded it properly, but I do perform it from time to time. These days I generally get to the end in one piece, though there was a time when I couldn't make it through the last verse without bubbling.

Just to be clear, I never intend to write anything to choke me up or to choke anyone else up. It's not a goal, and on this song it really wasn't that kind of song at all, but when I wrote that chorus, something about the chord structure at that part, and so many of my friends are so many miles away....just kind of gets to me. But after a few more times playing it now, it doesn't do that. When it was new, when I posted it, it kind of had a power.
I would like to listen to the songs refered to, but my computer is in the shop, and this one at work won't play tunes. By the way, Tom, that means I have no email for awhile.
I actually played this new song at the last party I played. Not really a party song, but they kept saying do another set, so I figured I'd play what I really had on my mind, and it seemed to work well at a party. You can sing it a bit rowdier.

Nice song! I love your voice.. it really feels close to the heart. I think it would be a perfect song for a party of friends... definitely.
For me... a few of my songs surprise me, both in singing and in hearing them... the one that hits right in the center of the heart though, is Don't Give In. Partly, the circumstances of writing were so bottomed out as my life was screaming for liberation... written in the freezing cold attic... yep.

Yes, I bawl like a baby in all of them. That pretty much explains things. Then I do a lot of editing to cover up, but I still have a flood of tears running down my cheeks, stickying up my arms, on down to my editing fingers. My mouse gets all gooey as I think about the quality of my work, then I just start clicking at random, hoping on hope that something, something, will turn out right, but no...it's mkaing em lal fummde up nwo, jyst tow reclal how thsi wokrs...ah, crpa...

"Dear Momz" always brings some emotion to me each time I hear it. It was a song built from emotion. 2mental wanted a song to give as a gift to his mother for Christmas because he couldn't afford to buy her a gift. He came to me for an idea and he was literally crying when he sent me the first verse to hear where he was going with the song. That song will always have a special place in my heart because it was a song truely from his soul...
