Tears of a Clown

So NPR did an episode a few weeks ago about the saddest songs ever (worth a listen), and it got me thinking...

In no particular order, here are the top 5 songs that will always make me cry - not necessarily because they are sad, but because they touch some sort of nerve.

Which Way Your Heart Will Go - Mason Jennings

True Love Will Find You in the End - Beck (Daniel Johnston cover)

Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley (Leonard Cohen cover)

Question - Old 97's

The First Day of My Life - Bright Eyes (and the video is similarly brilliant and heart-wrenching... ...and yes, I cried like a baby when I watched the video to make sure it was the right link)

Happy/sad/happy Sunday, everyone.
