Day 2 - Music Meme

Day 2: A song that makes you cry.
Ha! They are legion!
But the two that never fail are:
Sarah Mclachlan's "Fear" - it makes me cry because of the tone of despair that comes from it, and wherever there is despair there is always a touch of hope and there is nothing more painful that hope.
Not really.


And America's "The Last Unicorn" ,which is also one of the best animated features ever made!
Alas, no embed, here's the video.
I think the reason this song makes me cry is because it mourns something that only exists in the imagination. A dream that we want to see made real, but could never really contain. A mythical beast that is all about goodness and purity, two things humanity seems to not be able to actually formulate.

Oh, I love that song so much! It was one of the runners-up to my own meme of the day... :)
