    I have a whole playlist dedicated to Cry Songs. Elton John said it best, "Sad songs say so much."

    HaBiluim - shiro shel Hantz



    The two bearded guys you can see in some of the video, made this song after they'd stayed for a week with me in my apartment. That was right after my now ex-wife had moved out and I was in a terrible depression.

    But I have to admit that these two guys Yammi and Noam actually drew me out of the depression as they always insisted that I'd go out to party with them.

    We still have a remote friendship and would meet every time we are in the same country.

    Still their tune always reminds me how terrible life can feel

    Thoughts of You - Dennis Wilson. It's like he knew his time was coming to an end. Not sure I've heard a more world weary vocal.

    Roberta doing “The First Time...”
    Puts me in a whole other mood. Never fails to draw me in with melancholy and reduce me to blubbering.

    John Grant, It Doesn't Matter To Him.



    "I still keep trying to figure out how I became irrelevant
    How I got myself evicted from his heart from one day to the next.
    And the worst part is that, even if I got an answer right now
    It would not change anything because we have become two strangers."

    I'd have to say it's one by my music partner Kira.
