To unwind my father and ourselves, too, from that very tiring days during the wake of my mother, my brother decided to give my father a simple treat. So together with his girlfriend, we bring our father to a nearby restaurant. We have foods, drinks and some stories. And in the middle of everything, I was asked to render a song or two, as there was also a videoke inside. My brother asked me what was that song our mother loved. I said it's "Everyday I Love You" and he asked my to sing it. As I was singing the song: [i]I don't know but I believe; That some things were meant to be; Everyday I love you...[/i] I heard my father crying. He cried as if he was a child. He cried at the top of his voice. And every eyes was on him. I made him cry, again. Care to share your experiences with singing? Thank you all. KEEP SMILING = NEIL

That was very touching.I know your father is still graving.Its hard to forget the woman that he loves and bore children for him.I never experience making someone cry with my song but i am always touch from songs that i could relate to my life and sometimes would make me cry.

I did made someone cry. I remember during our family reunion. My cousin brought her magic sing. They asked me to sing. I sang "The nearness of you" and dedicated it to my father. I narrated before I sang it "If mama was still alive, she was the one who will be standing here and will be singing it to him". Actually, it's not only my father who cried, some of my relatives did shed a tear too.

I always sing songs which I like and make myself moved.I have never made others break into tears with my songs,but my songs have ever moved some of them indeed.When I sing the songs sometimes,I have the same feelings in the songs,then I will be moved myself and want to cry,others around me listening to the songs are moved by my songs or my feelings,I think,though they don't cry for them. all the best!
