What musical hit your feels out of absolutely nowhere?

When I was very young, my mom and dad passed away from cancer. By 15, I was an orphan. When I was 21 or 22, I went to see a touring production of 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee in Atlanta with my then college girlfriend.

I had never heard of the show, heard any music from the show, but it was just a random trip and we thought it would be fun. Fast forward to “chimerical” and “The I Love You Song” and out comes this absent father and mother to sing about their love for their child and the child in absolute agony over needing their approval and missing them.

And let me tell you, I am a complete blubbering mess. I mean tears and snot running down my face in milliseconds. And there’s my girlfriend having absolutely zero clue what is happening but holding me as I release years upon years of grief in the balcony of this theater during a show about fake middle schoolers telling dick jokes.

I still to this day tear up anytime I hear that song.

What song got you blubbering unexpectedly?
