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? ---

Here is one of [my first threads](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=518628), titled “Your Favorite Depressing Songs”. Some good stuff in there. ---

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. ---

As usual, I’ll nominate [Abby & Rosco - Best Friends](http://youtu.be/7QaMv6I78Lg). And a recent one that someone else linked in another thread: [Get Closer](http://youtu.be/zFWr-CKMWGY). ---

[A Boy And His Frog](http://youtu.be/Na-xvlYMGck). Video and audio quality isn’t the best, but still. ---

Stoically sadness-inducing: [Black Lab’s “This Night”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpoO9GGJjQw) \ [Yoko Kanno’s “Space Lion”,](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpVDGJfibWE) 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”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQX_OjRizV0) with a House theme, of course. \*\* And, last but not least \ is [“Eye of the Storm” by Lovett.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1mX8ptsmBM) Absolutely perfect.\*\* ---

Australian comedian Tim Minchin sings [White Wine in the Sun](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCNvZqpa-7Q), a song about what Christmas means to him (an atheist). It gets pretty sappy. ---

[The opening to the French cartoon series “Magic” (aka “A Kind of Magic” in English).](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgj3bHhzImI) And yes…that’s a Queen cover they’re using as the opening. And it’s _adorable_.
