It is worth mentioning that this subject has been dealt with before, somebody brighter than me can give a link to the thread, "The Saddest Song of All". Only one vote on that thread for my choice ( mcpiper ). Most of the songs mentioned are what I would call sentimental, but not heart rending. I mean, if you can't get through "Tecumseh Valley" or "Louise" without breaking down, then you got problems as a performer. And these are good songs. There are some really crappy songs on the thread too, which would no more make me shed a tear than would "Old Shep".
