Potentially Emotionally Dangerous Project

[Guest jackdm3]

I want your help to compile a list of the most absolute, nearly debillitating, gut-wrenching, on-the-verge-of-tears, frog-in-the-throat songs that reach the center of your being.

I re-discovered "Gone Away" by The Offspring recently and it made me consider why I didn't cry when my father died 9 years ago despite all the anger I had about him. This song applies to anyone you didn't want to lose so soon.

I'm talking about a disc that once compiled, you would be a wreck if you actually finish listening.

Gone Away - Offspring

I Was Wrong - Social Distortion

Mama Said - Metallica

Don't Take The Girl - Tim McGraw

"The Star Spangled Banner" - no explanation necessary.

"Proud To Be An American" - Lee Greenwood performed it live when we welcomed the troops home at Ft. Campbell after Desert Storm. Not a dry eye in the place.

Simple Man by Lynard Skynard. Always make me think about how much I love my Mama.

[Bigiron]

Taps. Makes me think of, and grieve for our veterans. I think of wars, of old friends lost, and rows of crosses.

That's a good one. And "Amazing Grace" played on the bagpipes always breaks me up.
