The songs that make you cry

[Julie]

Have you ever cried or consistently cry to any Vanessa songs? Which ones?

"Annie" - twice
"Afterglow" - once

[saphire]

I didn't cried since i was about 12 (5 years ago). But The first listening to Twilight made my eyes become wet and even superhero brought tears to my eyes.

Annie. And sometimes Little Mary. And Who's To Say.

Hmmm Annie and The One make me cry

[Emmyspiano]

Annie, Whos to say, best behavior (yeah I know, weird but it's weird she came out with the song, when my boyfriend broke up with me, everything in that song was so true with me)

[unsungmelody]

I cried when I heard Annie because it was so emotional.

annie and the one...the one still gets me teary but i dont cry anymore

[VanessaPiana]

-the album version of 'Afterglow', when i first got the album back in January, especially during the bridge, instrumental break [where she vocalizes and the music climaxes], and conclusion.

-the ending of 'Paint It Black', b/c she really showcases her range w/o her sounding pitchy.

-the European version of 'Pretty Baby' that's all echo-ey. the piano and her warm, angelic vocals really capture me.

-'Annie', b/c of the music and powerful lyrics.

-'The Wreckage', b/c of the melancholy piano, and her angelic vocalizing.

-Morning Sting, during the bridge, when she sings all those pretty high notes.

-Ordinary Day, near the end of the bridge, which gave me chills a couple of years ago.

-Superhero; i just wish she's record a more upated version, b/c the piano and vocal arrangement is beautiful.

afterglow



who's to say

[VanessaPiana]

the parts where Vanessa plays really loud on the piano on ATM, especially before the bridge. you're a truly great musician if you have that effect on people.

White Houses and A thousand miles :cry:  :cry:  :cry:

[ILoveHanson]

the one makes me cry everyyyy time when she plays it live.. and even many times when im just listening to it by myself or whatever.. ordinary day cuz i get emotional about all the times i saw her back and in the day (i used to cry every time she played it back then), and whos to say sometimes just cuz itz so beautiful and she sings it so passionately. and if she played pretty baby again i would definitely cry cuz i used to cry when she would play it.. especially on the tour where she did it with the full band.

the parts where Vanessa plays really loud on the piano on ATM, especially before the bridge.

Yup.  That used to do it for me, especially a few years ago, when life was getting REAL heavy.

Also, Annie of course, when she sings "More to life than trying to survive".

The last chorus of OD, where she sings "Take my hand...".  Her voice cracks just a little bit, and it's really powerful.

When I saw her live one time I cried during OD because it just brought back so many memories of when I first heard that song years ago and I used to sing it about this guy I had a tremendous crush on. It just brought it all back to me and it was wonderful. And when I heard her play ATM last year at the Birchmere in DC I cried because that's the song that made me become a fan nearly four years ago and it just made me realize what her music has done for me over the years.
All in all, I think that nearly every song of hers has gotten to me in such a way at one point in time to bring tears to my eyes.
