I see your rules and ignore them.

I’m a rebel Dottie.

I don't make the one rule. I don't necessarily mind enforcing it.

Day 11 a song that makes you cry.

There’s a lot of songs I associate with my mom. But this one I very specifically associate with her and me and sure enough I’m a weepy snotty mess at the moment.

Day 11: A Song That Makes You Cry
Both of these:

And I broke the rules because these equally make me weepy and I am a gentle soul, so if you’re making me cry by posting these, then I’m posting both.

You are cruising for a bruising, mister

Day 11: A song that makes you cry

Thankfully they're tears of joy and gratitude for a man I loved deeply and taught me how to live; my grandfather. This played as my brothers and uncles carried his coffin out of the church

Day 11: A song that makes you cry
Here is a shameful secret: I cry in movies. And the theater. My kid jokes that I always get popcorn salt in my eyes. And I can also get teary-eyed in a good song. Some are purely contextual, and wouldn't affect anyone else, but they are touchstones for me. And musicals have several for me -- Eponine's final song in Les Misérables will make me cry ugly every time, but unless you know the play and her story, it is just a pretty song with a weird ending. (Apropos of nothing, that song makes me hate PlayMarius. Book version is much more complicated). So I am looking for something self-contained.

Some are written to be tear-jerkers. Some, even most, of those are so obviously written that way that it is too much on the nose. So I wanted something more subtle. The one I chose hit me so hard because of the subtlety. It got past my defenses that way.

I remember hearing this for the first time, on the radio. This song is a woman just talking to the person who left her, who she obviously still loves. And it is nice -- a conversational about what she is doing and things she is trying to do to move on. It could be a face-to-face conversation over coffee, or a phone call, or even a text, now. And it sounds so normal. I have had conversations like this, after a bit of distance, with people I care for. It is so normal. The chorus is lovely and sweet, and fits the rest. So when the twist of what she is really doing comes in during the second verse, I almost missed it. But when I caught it, it was like it punched me in the face. And she doesn't overplay it, which is why it affected me so much. It just slipped past my defenses and caught me right in the heart. I cried. And I still do. Subtlety works.

Day 11: A song that makes you cry

Not because it is a sad song, but because at a very low point in my life, I heard this song and drew strength from it. It was what I needed to hear that day. I often cry when I hear it now as all those emotions come flooding back.
