[reformedwaitress]

Some of mine are a bit odd, cause my boy is in a band (The Crew) and I used to be in one and I still sing so, therefore, most of these are songs I love because either I used to do them or they do them and, know what? They're fun.

10. Bubbly by Cobie Calliet
9. Baby Girl by Sugarland
8. Santeria by Sublime (mainly when The Crew does it)
7. Crazy Game of Poker by OAR (again, when The Crew does it)
6. Our Song by Taylor Swift
5. Love Song by Sara Barellis
4. Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood
3. Your Love by Outfield
2. What's Up by 4 Non Blondes
1. All for You by Sister Hazel (I love the song no matter what, but ESPECIALLY when The Crew does it)

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Welll, the King of Rome, which is my number two song on the other list that makes me cry, I'm afraid is my number one pick for this list.

It doesn't make me cry out of sadness. The sentiment is so pure and beautiful and transcendent I am simply overcome with emotion when I hear it.

It's about a working class stiff who raises, and races pigeons. The King of Rome is a pigeon.

No, I'm serious.

As to the rest of my picks, I'm afraid I have some of the same songs on both lists. The Voice of Truth by Casting Crowns makes me happy.

Both Beautiful Sound and Something Beautiful by the Newsboys

Anything by Polyphonic Spree, particularly Light and Day

MmmmBop by Hansen (what? It's a fun song that reminds me of the Jackson 5 in better days)

What A Wonderful World by Loise Armstrong

A large number of songs by The Refreshments, particularly Preacher's Daughter, Banditos, and Wanted

If I Were King And Ruled the World by The Backsliders

That song Megara sings in Disney's Hercules "I Won't Say I'm In Love" or something. You can't help but smile when you hear that song.
