Day 27: One song in your mp3 folder you’re pretty sure no one else has.
Day 28: One song that needs to never be played again.
Day 29: One song that gives you the creeps.
Day 30: A song from your childhood.
Day 2: A song that makes you cry.
There is one, and exactly one, song that has ever made me cry. Not only that, but it has done so consistently. It is "Lullabye (Goodnight My Angel)" by Billy Joel.
Originally, what evoked the emotional response was the fact that the lyrics remind me very much of the relationship I had with my father. I imagine him singing the words to me; I imagine singing the words to my future child, the grandchild that he will never know. It really gets to me.
It turns out that the song is as personal as it sounds. I read somewhere that Billy Joel wrote it for his daughter, Alexa, before he and his wife divorced.
