Thread Name: The Tear Jerker Thread (songs)
Subject: RE: Is this a "tearjerker"?
When I wrote this song, I was thinking of it as decidedly happy, but I wanted it to come across as thoughtful rather than glib. I've been taken off guard by seeing a couple of people tear-up on hearing it. Some months back I asked one mudcat regular his reaction to it, and he referred to it (I didn't feel negatively) as a "real tear jerker". What do y'all think in that regard?
