Cry me a river

Daniel Craig crying

According to a new survey, one in two Aussie blokes admit they've been reduced to tears...by music.

The survey, conducted by Galaxy research for Sony Australia reveals while over three quarters of women have admitted to bursting into tears after hearing a song, 52 per cent of men have also confessed to being moist eyed over music

The survey also revealed our deep-seated connection to music...around one in four Australians say they have to listen to music while they are cooking and 34 per cent admit they couldn’t drive for more than 2km without the stereo playing in their car -  36 per cent vowed they would not want to live without music.

Good job they don't have to.

C'mon blokes...let's compile a list of tunes to get those good Aussie tears a' flowin'!

Don't know if this will bring on posts of derision in my direction, but partly for personal reasons I just cannot sing 'One Perfect Day' by the Little Heroes without being reduced to tears. 'Reno' by James Reyne, and 'In Our Home' by Things of Stone and Wood also have had that impact on me over the years. There are others, but they're not coming to mind just yet.
