I have found several songs extremely hard to sing initially. Something about the meshing of the tune and the words as they hit deeper into me. "No man's land" was one, with "A town I loved so well" another. "Christmas Eve 1914" amd "Margarita" two more. Many songs deeply move me to tears and it takes a while to get through that emotional level before I can progress to singing them in full.

A couple of songs I have written myself also do it. They were written as poems for other people I love and care about. I then set tunes to them. It was hard to get through them and, on some days, still are. But I would not be without those feelings for anything.

My emotions and tears tell me I am alive. The singer/songwriter that can reach into my soul is to be admired. I cry at films a lot too lol!

I WANT music to reach in and do this to me. I love classical music and bel canto opera for the same reasons. It's the running out of tissues I hate...
