Preventing Tears

[DaisyNonna]

Watched Strictly. Loved listening to Alfie Boe and watching a beautiful interpretation by the dancers but....in floods of tears by the end of it. How can I not cry whenever I hear Send Him Home?

[bednobs]

not sure, a lot of things do it for me. Mainly poetry, even trite stuff

[bednobs]

sometimes even neighbours!

I cry at things all the time, yesterday I telling my daughter that Eva Cassidy's Somewhere Over The Rainbow would be perfect for her school project, I loaded it up on Yuotube and as soon as the song started, I started bawling. My daughter thought it was hilarious :)

Just for you then, Daisy. no tears mind !.

you can always laugh at the fact it's not Send Him Home but Bring Him Home, that'll put a smile on your face :)

It was lovely though

Saw alfie a few months ago at Edinburgh playhouse....fab fab fab...sigh....wouldn't step over him to get my cocoa!

[DaisyNonna]

Glad I am not alone. I only have to hear the first bar and I am a quivering wreck. Remember going to London to see it at the theatre, a friend, my fifteen year old daughter and myself. We emerged from the theatre absolutely stunned. Walked to the Tube, travelled to Victoria, got on the train home and not a word was spoken until we had left London.
