Trying on purpose to make me cry

Stop it! Music that tries to make you cry on purpose is no good. Elliott Smith makes one cry, but he wasn’t trying to make you cry. Like a great actor stops just short of the tears, Smith does as well. Avett Brothers walk on stage and demand tears. It makes guys in selvage denim cry and talk about their “demons” and “healing”
