How about Joan Baez "Song of Bangladesh"?Bangladesh, Bangladesh Bangladesh, Bangladesh When the sun sinks in the west Die a million people of the Bangladesh The story of Bangladesh Is an ancient one again made fresh By blind men who carry out commmands Which flow out of the laws upon which nation stands Which is to sacrifice a people for a land Bangladesh, Bangladesh Bangladesh, Bangladesh When the sun sinks in the west Die a million people of the Bangladesh Once again we stand aside And watch the families crucified See a teenage mother's vacant eyes As she watches her feeble baby try To fight the monsoon rains and the cholera flies And the students at the university Asleep at night quite peacefully The soldiers came and shot them in their beds And terror took the dorm awakening shrieks of dread And silent frozen forms and pillows drenched in red Bangladesh, Bangladesh Bangladesh, Bangladesh When the sun sinks in the west Die a million people of the Bangladesh Did you read about the army officer's plea For donor's blood? It was given willingly By boys who took the needles in their veins And from their bodies every drop of blood was drained No time to comprehend and there was little pain And so the story of Bangladesh Is an ancient one again made fresh By all who carry out commands Which flow out of the laws upon which nations stand Which say to sacrifice a people for a land Bangladesh, Bangladesh Bangladesh, Bangladesh When the sun sinks in the west Die a million people of the Bangladesh Do you find this valuable? |

How unpleasant! Now I feel bad for Bangladesh.I think this is a good idea except that the song talks about the sun *sinking* and the clue says that the sun comes up... Do you find this valuable? |

Well, the query asks since the singer has seen the sun rise, why would she cry? The answer is that because she saw the sun set and the deaths of a million people.

Dude, like, Joan Baez totally sucks.I really, really don't think this is right. I mean, why would that trivia guy, like, use something like this? And seriously, the clue totally says the sun comes up. This song doesn't say that anywhere. And what if the query isn't coming from a person? Like, animals weep, don't they. AND, I've totally heard a guitar cry before. Isn't there a song about a crying guitar or something? Do you find this valuable? |

OK, Simone, I think I may have it. "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by Eric Clapton ... it was first played live at the Concert for Bangladesh in 1971.

Seems more likely that the answer would be the Concert for Bangladesh itself. "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" doesn't mention the sun, the concerts were at noon and 7PM. But Harrison and Clapton also played "Here Comes the Sun" during their set.
