I've never actually cried to a song, but there is one artist whose songs always manage to stir my emotions, Stan Rogers. I use a verse from one of his songs on almost every forums I belong to.
Stan was born in Ontario but his family was from Halifax and he lived there quite a while. So here I am, I was born in Halifax but my family moved when I was about 13 months old. I'm very proud of being from Halifax and anytime I wish I could go there I just slap on a Stan Rogers CD :) . Most of my family lives in the Maritimes, so every summer I take a visit to the Atlantic Provinces and never forget to stop by Halifax for a few days.

But I told that kid a hundred times "Don't take the Lakes for granted.
They go from calm to a hundred knots so fast they seem enchanted."
But tonight some red-eyed Wiarton girl lies staring at the wall,
And her lover's gone into a white squall.
They go from calm to a hundred knots so fast they seem enchanted."
But tonight some red-eyed Wiarton girl lies staring at the wall,
And her lover's gone into a white squall.
