Barenaked Ladies/Tear Jerker

This Canadian alternative rock band has a lot of tear-triggering songs.

""She likes to sleep with the radio on So she can dream of her favourite song The one that no one has ever sung Since she was small""
 * "Tonight is the Night I Fell Asleep at the Wheel", which plays a tune that sounds like it belongs on a cheerful carnival calliope, but whose lyrics tell the story of a car crash and the futile attempts to save the titular driver whose love is the "last thing on my mind". The narrator? Ed Robertson's brother, who died in a motorcycle accident.
 * In the same vein, "Am I The Only One" and "Leave". The former was originally going to be about Ed's (at the time) fiancée, but changed.
 * "War On Drugs" being another big one.

""I look straight in the mirror Watch it come clearer I look like a painter Behind all the grease But painting's creating And I'm just erasing Chrystal clear canvas Is my masterpiece."
 * "Celebrity" is somewhat of a downer, too. The narrator talks about his goal in life, and then (presumably) achieves it and realizes how horribly hollow being a celebrity is.
 * Then there is "What A Good Boy".
 * For a song about a window washer who's afraid of heights, "When I Fall" does a great job at cuing the waterworks.


 * Common consensus on singing along to "Break Your Heart" is impossible because of two things.
 * The Incredibly Long Note
 * The inevitable tears.
