I need a good cry. What songs make you cry? I might make a playlist. The Disturbed version of The Sound of Silence gets the tears flowing for me, especially if I sing along loudly, although it's a marmite song here on mn.

Sufjan Stevens song 'Fourth of July' is the saddest song in the world. It's autobiographical, about the death of his mother.
