    my 10 month old daughter passed away from a congenital heart defect in July 2009, and I was in Chicago for one of the August 2009 shows and Come Back was played and I couldn't stop the tears from flowing...the entire show was emotional, but that song brought the waterfalls and I expect it will again if played Labor Day wknd

    You've suffered something no one should have to suffer. No parent should outlive their children. There is no greater tragedy.

    Yes...many times...just all depends on what is going on at that moment. Not the ugly cry crap more just the slow few tears that roll down. I expect to cry at PJ20 just from being there with my brother. Both of us have seen many PJ shows but never together. 8-)

    Black makes me cry.

    I got a bit choked up during Footsteps in LA, too.


    I cried to Black many times as well. Esp when he says " know you'll be a star in someoneelse's sky..." and very clearly remember that for MTV unplugged endng was like " we belong together""

    but for a long while now I cannot remember crying to a PJ song. I rely on them even more to make me feel better and maybe that's why

    by the way I just yesterday realized they have a song where they tak about angels. My momsent tapes since our car has only tape oplayer and there in that tape was that song. yesterday!

    Yes.

    Much how you end up liking a different song more depending on your mood, it's the same with the songs that make you cry.

    Songs that made me tear up as a teenager don't today, unless I hear them live.

    Right now, the one makes me have a hard time keeping me composed is "Just Breathe". Though it also depends the headspace I'm in.

    I always try to fight it though. :lol:

    Last night at PJ20 I teared up during Release, and held them back for Betterman.

    I relate very well to release and all I could think about was my mom the whole time. If they play it Sunday, I may just tear up again for sure.
