Every once in a while I get drunk by myself on a weekend night and get into emotional overdrive mode. Please feed me something sappy and emotional (and preferably musical), but not overly sad and depressing. Any ideas?
There are a bunch of Youtube vids of soldiers home from overseas, surprising their families. Watch a few of those, then one or two of soldiers and their dogs, and I promise you’ll be sobbing your eyes out. But in a good way.
Here you go…A Den Of Kittens; a video of a knot of small gray kittens, resting together in a bed, all purring loudly. It’s like freebasing Prozac.
Ohhhh yeaauh…tha’s th’ shtufff…
As usual, I’ll nominate Abby & Rosco - Best Friends.
And a recent one that someone else linked in another thread: Get Closer.
Heather Martin - When Are You Coming Home
A little girl singing about her brother who is over seas in the military.

Stoically sadness-inducing:
Black Lab’s “This Night” <song is awesome, Arkham City-themed video>
Yoko Kanno’s “Space Lion”, with Cowboy Bebop video. Didn’t see a version of the original scene in English, or I’d have posted that, as it’s very powerful. The song itself is amazing all alone, though; this is cuts of Cowboy Bebop scenes and does fairly well.
Elbow’s “Grounds For Divorce” with a House theme, of course.
**
And, last but not least <found the others while looking for this one as I couldn’t remember it’s name!!> is
Absolutely perfect.**
Australian comedian Tim Minchin sings White Wine in the Sun, a song about what Christmas means to him (an atheist). It gets pretty sappy.
After watching these, I have to break a beer bottle over my head to regain my manliness.
OK, two bottles now.
The opening to the French cartoon series “Magic” (aka “A Kind of Magic” in English).
And yes…that’s a Queen cover they’re using as the opening. And it’s adorable.
