You know when things are just getting on top of you a bit, and you just need to let it all out?
What's your sure-fire way of getting the waterworks going?
For me, it's either the 'Sleepytime' episode of Bluey (there's something about the mix of the subject matter, alongside Jupiter that just gets me going) or, if I want to settle in for an evening of full-blown dehydration, Coco seems to do the trick.
I have many. I blub all the time, but I am proud of that. My family takes the piss, but I have grown comfortable with it. But the one I don’t understand is the Self Esteem song, I Do This All the Time. At the part of the song when she sings “ So look up, lean back, be strong…..” I absolutely bawl, but I don’t know why. I am a white, middle aged, financially sound male, so I have no obvious emotional connection, but I cry every single time, without fail. I fall apart. Why is that?

If you have a history of poor or insufficient sleep and suffer the loss of a very loved one through death or separation, that can start these triggers where you go from being perfectly happy to feeling tears of sadness rolling down your cheeks in seconds.

That clip of the Esther Rantzen show when Nicholas Winton finds that the whole audience alongside and behind him is composed of the people he saved from Germany on the Kindertransport trains.
There's another piece of film, I don't know what it is from, of a woman who survived the death camps, describing the moment when the Nazis had gone and she was confronted by a strange soldier. He turned out to be a GI, she told him "but I'm Jewish" & his reply was "So am I". He became her husband.

Music is a big one for me as well.
'I'll See You In My Dreams' by Springsteen is an absolute killer. I'd never heard it before, until I went to see him at Villa Park a couple of years ago, just after my grandfather had died.
I'm already fully resigned to the fact that I'll never be able to listen to it again after my dad goes.
Joe Brown usually finishes his set with that, with just a ukulele accompaniment. Worth seeking out on YouTube if you can bear it.
Edit: Here’s the link to his performance at the end of the Concert for George.
Music can be such an emotional experience.

Better to stay silent and be thought a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt
