Carrie Underwood/Tear Jerker
This country singer has a lot of emotional songs.
- "Don't Forget to Remember Me" can make people feel weepy and homesick, when they are away from home -- as well as anyone who is leaving childhood behind (or their mothers).
- "Just A Dream" is another one.
- As is "I Told You So" (itself a cover of the Randy Travis song).
- "Jesus, Take The Wheel". It's about a woman who's driving home for Christmas, with her kid in the backseat. Then she loses control of the wheel. It's depressing to say the least.
- "Mama's Song" is another one -- with the bittersweet, low-key instrumental backing as a key component.
- "Temporary Home".
- Hell, pretty much any song involving God or her mother is gonna be emotional.
