Oh My Gosh,This Commercial Makes Me Cry email this discussion to a friend?

Usually when commercials come on, I hit "mute" and pick up my book. You know how it is, commercials are usually just loud and annoying. But there is this one that is so touching, it pulls at my heartstrings and I watch it even though it hurts.

The commercial is for an animal rescue organization, and it features Sarah Mc Lachlan. Her song "In the Arms of An Angel" is playing in the background and they are showing the poor abused animals with their sad eyes, begging for someone to come take care of them. I am crying just thinking about it. The combination of that beautiful song and those animals' eyes -- the whole thing is heartwrenching. I hope it draws a lot of response.

Have you seen the commercial I'm talking about? Are there any that affect you that way?

hi anhedonia, you must be canadian!that commercial runs here on a hamilton station in ontario. it is so terrible what cruel things are done to animals and our fellow man all over the world. i hope animal cruelity is viewed with the respect it deserves. we are all creatures on this planet and we need to respect each other, wether we are furr or fleshy. sarah mclachlan is a beautiful artist. her songs carry so much passion.

No, I'm in America. It's the ASPCA commercial, I was just reminded. They may be using the same thing in different countries.

You are right this commercial is touching. I don't outright cry, but it does pluck my heartstrings. I try to laugh it off by imitating Sarah McLachlan as if she were yawning through the song, but it never works. I always fall silent and look at the animals eyes. Some seem like they are actually crying. Others you want to cry for because you can see in their faces how bad they were treated. Yes, I know exactly what feeling you are talking about this commercial gives.

I don't want to see it, because I would cry. I cry whenever I am touched by sadness.. and animals suffering makes me suffer with them. I hate to see it.

I have seen that commercial and I agree with you completely, you are absolutely right, it is so sad and it makes me want to go out and bring all those animals home to my place. As a child I always wanted a farm so I could do just that.


myLot reputation of 87/100. Anhedonia (1779)   ranked 93 out of 3,363 in watching television  3 months ago

Sarah McLachlan's voice is so beautiful, too. . .the music is affecting in the first place. It was a lovely choice for the message the commercial is sending.

My wife gets upset everytime she sees that commercial, the song alone does it for her. The poor animals just add to the saddness.

Sounds like your wife and I were cut from the same cloth --hopefully a hankie lol.

No matter what female rabbit I put in the cage with the male rabbit, he will not touch her but the second I put another male rabbit in the cage he gose to town. I even had him double checked at the pet store to make sure he was not a female. He is in the cage with my chinchilas and tries to make rabcilas. hehehe

OMG Anhedonia, first thing I need to say is that song is what makes me think of my brother, I kind of feel like it is his theme song It was very popular and playing on the radio every other day when he died, he was 35 and died alone in a prison in florida non of us knew where he was and had not heard from him in well over a year...

So just hearing the song makes me cry, then add the abused animals.. and I am a heap of tears and emotions.


myLot reputation of 87/100. Anhedonia (1779)   ranked 93 out of 3,363 in watching television  3 months ago

Yes, me too and I don't even have the association to the song that you do. Her song "I Will Remember You" can have the same effect, too. It says "weep not for the memory" but I do anyway. I am so sorry about your brother.

Hi Anhedonia,
I know the commercial and I mute it every time I can get the remote! I can't listen to that song. It reminds me of the day my Aunt passed away. My daughter sang it to her and well, that's why I can't listen to that song it will make me cry but for those reasons, not because of the animal shelter.

I do hope those animals get help though. It is sad to see those eyes staring at you.


myLot reputation of 87/100. Anhedonia (1779)   ranked 93 out of 3,363 in watching television  3 months ago

I'm so sorry I missed your respons before! I'm sure your daughter singing that song for your aunt was very beautiful. I can see why the memory would make you avoid the commercial. xoxo
