"The Bed Song" by Amanda Palmer

Today's American Pop!
Memory, from the Broadway musicale Cats. “Memory, all alone in the moonlight/I was beautiful then”. Yes, lachrymose and perhaps even mawkish, and I don’t care. It is also moving, beautiful, poignant and completely human—and I have never liked Andrew Lloyd Webber. I took my then-girlfriend to see Cats when it was in Boston, and, when I cried, she grabbed my hand, and squeezed it tenderly. It was a perfect moment.
Un Bel Di, from Puccini’s Opera, Madama Butterfly. I have posted about songs by Eva Cassidy, that are moving because of her interpretations of them. Un Bel Di has that transcendent passion written into its sheet music. It is a song that simultaneously breaks your heart and expands your soul. If this song does not move you to tears, then you are probably dead.

No, a song does not have to sad to invoke tears. Eva Cassidy’s Gospel song, How Can I Keep From Singing, is chockablock with praise and love for The Lord God, but it is so profoundly heartfelt that we cry tears of joy. Nor is Somewhere, Over The Rainbow, a sad song, though it could be a bit wistful; but Eva’s transcendent rendition and phrasing of it melts every heart.
