I'm working on this assignment for my Psychology class and I need your help.
The assignment is to survey at least 20 people and ask them if they've ever cried or gotten emotional while singing or listening to a song.
For example, some of my tearjerk songs that ALWAYS get me crying thug nigga tears, are:
Dance With My Father Again (Luther Vandross)
Halo -- (Beyonce, acoustic version)
Hallelujah -- (Gin Wigmore, best version)
Hallelujah -- (the Leonard Cohen version performed by Alexandria Burke on X-Factor)
I Miss You -- (Aaliyah, the tribute video version)
Hey Mama -- (Kanye West performed this in front of his mother on Oprah one year)
Cosmic Love -- (Florence + The Machine)
The Power of Love -- (Celine Dion)
1 + 1 -- (Beyonce)
---------------
Do you have any "Tearjerk" songs?
