My “Music That Makes Me Cry” List…
"Crying" - Roy Orbison
As many of you know, we’re both music lovers. Both of us love pretty much all music (I’m ((Heather)) more of a Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison sort of music fan, while Jason is more of a Rolling Stones, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, ZZ Top sort of music fan). But we both love and appreciate it all, old and new.
Every now and then I get into a major music listening mood. Sometimes I find a certain song that I absolutely love and I’ll spin it for a while and then get on a roll of many others. I’ll play songs over and over and over and over. I think it usually happens while I’m editing photos. I tend to be a “different type of music for my different moods” kind of person. Every now and then I’m drawn to music that makes me a little weepy. lol In a good way, of course.
