Sad songs

Do you ever have the feeling that sad songs make you wanna cry?
I didn't know about this feeling until a couple of years ago. But now, every once in a while, a song can make me cry. Is it the voice, or do the lyrics make me weep? Sometimes it's the combination of both.
Some people are gifted and have magnificent voices. Nobody can deny that. Some voices leave me with goosebumps from the minute I hear the tunes of the song. I think of Hélène Segara, who performs in The Hunchback of Notre Dame, as Esmeralda. I could listen to her over and over again.
I think it's pretty special if your talent can make someone cry..
I'm not catholic, but if a song needs to be played on my funeral, please call Hélène Segara.
