What a beautiful song! I was previously unfamiliar with this one. Thank you.
Excellent lyrics... and her delivery (and performance) is superb. Wow.
I find sad and reflective songs to be the most beautiful of all... and this is very touching. Fantastic choice!

Day 2: A song you’d cry to in the shower

This one again….has always affected me so much that I can’t even sing it without crying.

A complete classic! No matter how familiar it is, it's still as moving as the first time hearing it...

️ Day 1: A song that makes you feel like you’re in a music video

I used to luv this song so much... you made me go through some old CDs and dig out the album. Great choice!

In college, my friends and I recreated this dance/music video.

In case you thought I was just hot… nope! Weird, too.

I think "weird" is a key ingredient in adding to true hotness... lol.

Very cool song and video! I'm a bit late to the game here, having only discovered Caroline Polachek through her last couple solo albums... so thank you for helping get me up to speed. I'll have to explore more of this band.

2: cry in the shower

I honestly can't see myself crying in the shower for any reason, but Rammstein's "Ohne Dich" (without you) may come the closest to fitting the bill.

Is there an alternative for Day 2 for people who do their crying somewhere besides the shower?

Day 2: A song you’d cry to in the shower

Okay, here’s my sappy song that makes me cry. And the story behind it. First: I’m not a cryer. Only when I’m missing my family that have died, do I cry.

My brother used to send this to me when he couldn’t talk anymore, and was dying, so I would know he was thinking of me. So I listen to it when I miss him and it makes me cry. And since I don’t cry where people can see me, it’s always in the shower.

Thank you for sharing this with us lovely

All By Myself - Eric Carmen

A bit of a double whammy for me. The lyrics are incredibly relevant to how I've been feeling. The beautiful use of Rachmaninoff's concerto also makes me think of one of the most heartbreaking, in my opinion, of the old classic films - Brief Encounter.
I don't seem to need a shower or a song to bring the tears lately but this is guaranteed Niagara Falls.

Thank you for sharing this, MM. Really touching, and I’m sorry for the loss of your brother. Such a heartbreaking thing to experience. Sending love.

I’m sorry you’ve been feeling this way lately! Loneliness is such a powerful feeling. I hope you’ve found some friends and community here that help with that. And my inbox is always open

And it was true. It refers to Suzanne Schnerr, a childhood friend of his who died by suicide while he was in London, England, recording his first album.

This one doesn’t make me cry but I do deliver a pretty epic shower performance, playing every single character in the show.

 

[morelikeasong]

My dad used to sing this to me as a lullaby. Gorgeous song.

Day 2: A song you’d cry to in the shower

It’s really this whole Lou Reed album that’s my go to when sad, but this tees it up

Day 2: A song you’d cry to in the shower

What to say about this song? I don’t know. I don’t really recommend it to anyone. I cant imagine anyone, who isn’t angsty and depressed, liking it. And I don’t recommend anyone who IS depressed to listen to it.
This song really embodies seasonal depression to me. Cold, snowy, New England winters. I don’t live there anymore, but I definitely cried in the shower to this song when I did.

Day 2: A song you’d cry to in the shower

Not sure I'm likely to cry in the shower but Dido is my go to sad girl singer. When I'm feeling melancholic, her music is getting played a lot.

Day 2: A song you’d cry to in the shower

So I don’t really cry in showers, but if this song came up on shuffle while I was showering I’d probably tear up a bit.

Day 2: A song you’d cry to in the shower

I'm not a big crier, and I avoid sad music like the plague. But thus song makes me feel melancholy & nostalgic, because it makes me think of my dad, playing it in his shop, before he made life complicated.
