"The Crying Game" by Boy George


I didn't realize how emotional it would be seeing the videos and posting this song.  When I saw this move in the 90's I had NO IDEA that someday I would completely be able to relate to the Dil character.  It made me cry watching scenes from this movie.

I was also sad to read that Jaye Davidson that played Dil "hated the fame":

I had to get some groceries tonight, first I went to the new WinCo on 21st South.  I had to find the cheapest brand and the smallest size for each item SueZQ had on the list.  Then I went into Trader Joe's and got one item there.  Finally, I went into Natural Grocers to get some bananas and I only had a $1.81 left, so I had to weigh the bananas to make sure I had enough money.  It sounds silly I suppose, but I started crying in the checkout line.  It was a little weird having tears streaming down my face.

I think I should probably watch this movie again, because I don't remember much except for "that scene":

Anyway, I've always loved this song:

I had no idea this was an old song, until I saw this version by Brenda Lee:
