"Tom Traubert's Blues" by Tom Waites..... don't really understand the meaning of some of the lyrics, but VERY heartfelt and melancholy...

"I Started a Joke" by the Bee Gees

"Words" by the Bee Gees

"Alone Again, Naturally" by Gilbert O'Sullivan

Many, many others, depending on my mood while listening... I love music.
Oh yes that one!

I love the Bee Gees - great choices!

This song used to be a tearjerker for me...

[video=youtube;XGMmuEn3WG0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGMmuEn3WG0&list=RDXGMmuEn3WG0[/video]

I say this was no game of chicken
You were aiming your best friend
That you wear like a switchblade on a chain around your neck
I think you picked this up in Mexico from your dad

Now your daddy on the booze
And it's Brando on the ice
Now it's Dean in the doorway
With one more way he can't play this scene twice

So you drug her down every drag in this forbidden fit of love

And you told her to stand tall when you kissed her
But that's not where you were thinking...

How could a Natalie Wood not get sucked into a scene so custom tucked?

But now look who shows up

In the same place
In this case
I think it's better
To face it -
We belong together
We belong together


Now once Johnny the King made a spit ring
And all the skid kids saw a very, very proud man
And he entwine her in his finger
And she lay there like a baby in his hand

And climb upon the rooftop docks lookin' out on the crosstown seas
And he wraps his jacket across her shoulders
And he falls and hugs and holds her on his knees

But a sailor just takes a broad down to the dark end of the fair
To turn her into a tattoo
That will whisper
Into the back of Johnny's black hair

And now Johnny the King walks these streets without her in the rain
Lookin' for a leather jacket

And a girl who wrote her name forever
And a promise that -

We belong together
We belong together


Shall we weigh along these streets
Young lions on the lam?
Are the signs you hid deep in your heart
All left on neon for them?

Who are foolish
Who are victim
Of the sailors and the ducky boys who would
Move into your eyes and lips and
Every tear that falls down on the neighborhood now

I said "Bird, we just gotta tell them"
And they turn and ignore us
And the only heroes we got left
Are written right before us
And the only angel who sees us now
Watches through each other's eyes

Oooo and I can hear him
In every footstep's passing sigh
He goes crazy these nights
Watching heartbeats go by...
And they whisper -

We belong together
We belong together

We belong together
We belong together

Can't forget about this classic sad song. It brought tears to my eyes at the end of the movie, "Ghost."

Ringo is such a beautiful soul it puzzles me that when we were so much younger
as were the Beatles themselves, Ringo was considered the least good looking...

Anything by Neal Sedaka or the Four Seasons

They make me cry because they are so awful

For non-secular songs... It Is Well (with my soul) always brings tears to my eyes with the lyrics.."my sin, not in part, but the whole...is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more...praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, oh my soul!"

"Cry" would be a strong word.

I'll go with "tear up"...

I dunno, technically speaking he was a good bass guitarist, but I dont think he ever wrote anything like the kind of music ABSIV has : p Id have to hear stuff he wrote on his own to judge it.

I had a solo LP of his that was really quite good :D

John Alec Entwistle (9 October 1944 – 27 June 2002) was an English singer, songwriter, composer, musician, film and music producer. In a music career that spanned more than 40 years, Entwistle was best known as the original bass guitarist for the English rock band The Who. He was the only member of the band to have formal musical training. His aggressive lead sound influenced many rock bass players.

He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Who in 1990.

Entwistle's instrumental approach used pentatonic lead lines, and a then-unusual treble-rich sound ("full treble, full volume") created by roundwound RotoSound steel bass strings. He was nicknamed "The Ox" and "Thunderfingers," the latter because his digits became a blur across the four-string fretboard.

In 2011, he was voted as the greatest bass guitarist of all time in a Rolling Stone reader's poll. According to The Biography Channel, Entwistle is considered by many to be the best rock bass guitarist that ever lived, and is considered to have done for the bass what Jimi Hendrix did for the guitar.

You're probably correct.... I don't know if he wrote anything.. I was just thinking of his talent at playing...

see... I didn't know any of that.... I just remember watching/listening to him play, and watching him "picking" the guitar with all his fingers the way guitarists do an acoustic guitar.... I was impressed.
