What Makes You Cry?

My friends jokingly call me a bard because I'm artsy and play one in any RPG that allows it. As a result, I cry to movies and music, especially the Jeff Buckley version of Hallelujah.

Also, onions. I wish I could quit you.

I hate Jeff Buckley's cover of John Cale's cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah.

Really, it's not a bad song, and, if it were a stand-alone song, I'd probably like it okay enough. The problem is, it's a cover, and the original(s) are quite a bit better, in my opinion. I think that the lyrics and the music of the song go much better with the stronger voices of John Cale and Leonard Cohen than with the softer voice of Jeff Buckley.

Anyways, to be on topic: animals dying in movies, my Mom yelling at me, and my own self-hatred, although those last two are fairly related, because when my mom is angry, she becomes an emotional assassin, and makes me hate myself for what I've done, no matter how small.

I respectfully disagree. I am aware it is a cover, but Buckley's voice is positively angelic. His voice, to me, emotionally resonates better and has such a wide array of messages and moods in it. It's mystifying, haunting, and uplifting at the same time without feeling forced. It's more ethereal, more expressive, and creates a feeling not of this world that I feel suits the song perfectly. Yet, despite his high-pitched voice, possesses a keen strength to it. But if I continue, I'd probably kill myself with sadness. At the fact is, his lyrics are a complete reinterpretation that I better identify with that adds a snese of mystery to it.

As for what you said afterwards, I completely understand. Dying animals are </3, but arguments with particularly emotionally difficult people are terrible, yet the inability to mention it without being perceived as defiant makes it 100 time worse.

I'd used my amount of "emotions" today.

I like that song, Laddy.

Happy/touching movie endings make me cry. I tend to cry tears of happiness/awe more often than tears of sadness, and it usually takes something tangible (i.e., not a movie) to make me cry those tears of sadness.

Also: The ending of Toy Story 3. EVERY. TIME.

When I'm doing long division and I have a remainder.

I am a big strong man. Big strong men do not cry.

Except when we stub our toes.

[Sephex]

Usually when I cut onions. I just feel so bad for them.

[Mirage]

It doesn't take much to make me all sentimental and tit in movies and games. It just requires a sad/feelgood scene which has a hint of realistic human emotions and my liquids are all over the place

also protip: breathe exclusively through your mouth while cutting onions and you probably won't cry.

Oh god and that one part where they all just hold hands and quietly accept what's happening.

As long as they were together in the end.

Yep. Both of these parts. I took a girl to watch Toy Story 3. Bad move. It took all the strength I had not to cry at these parts. After the film. I told her I needed a wee then cried like a bitch in one of the toilet cubicles...

I also cry every time ET leaves. The bit where he holds out his finger and says "I'll be riiigghhht heeerreee"

WAAAAAHHH!!!!!!!

[Sephex]

Yeah, I'll also admit that during Toy Story 3 I was tearing up at the parts mentioned already. Great movie.

Cry?

Ignoring when I was a child (under 14)?

I've probably cried twice.

And each time I've had a witness.

And the reason will never be revealed.

I will say that I don't know if I'm jealous that you guys can cry more, but I don't really think I could handle more than one reason that causes crying, because when I cry, I'm completely inconsolable and the reason is completely defensible (imo).

Oh I cried a 3rd time. Over a dead kitty . I don't mind sharing that.

i cry every time aeris's hand appears to pull cloud upwards during the bahamut battle in ff7 advent children

[Old Manus]
