Songs that make you cry

[nysbob]

Two by Ray Davies -

Missing Person from an obscure film called Return to Waterloo

Oklahoma USA off Muswell Hillbillies

I'd rather have a human card than man card anyway.

 

[Murder_Worship]

i dont cry but a song that definatly moves me is who wants to live forever by queen

 

[gr8fulhiker]

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald - Gordon Lightfoot

I tear up, everytime.

"...he said, fellas it's been good to know ya"

+1 Simply haunting...

These may seem weird but here goes:


'Sonne' by Rammstein - (first time I saw the music video I knew I needed the Mutter album)

'Don't Leave Me Now' by Pink Floyd - (one of the most powerful songs off of The Wall, Roger Waters voice is soo filled w/ emotion in this one)

lots of stuff by Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails)... favorites include 'The Perfect Drug', 'Closer', and 'The Fragile'.

lots of stuff by Tool... however it's a little harder to hear some of Maynard's vocals because of the nature of the band.

 

[SmoothCountry]

Alone Again, Naturally - Gilbert O'Sullivan
Sand And Water - Beth Nielsen Chapman

 

[EclecticElectrk]

american pie, Thank you by led zeppelin

This may sound corny but they only song that has relly ever driven me to any sad emotional state is the Martina McBride song Concrete Angel. What a sad song... THEN I SAW THE VIDEO.

I have also gotten a little emotional while playing some Hillsong United tunes at church. Primarily, the song Point of Difference. Can't explain it it's just a touching song to me.

No need to relinquish any man cards here.

Check out Barcelona and The Show Must go On. Freddy also looked sick as hell but still happy on all the viedo clips from their last album. These are the Days of my Life especially.

Since ive been loving you - Led Zeppelin.

 

[christmetal]

i cant think of one that has made me cry but i know "Every Saturday" but Seventh Day Slumber has gotten me pretty close
take a listen
its one of the best songs

The late Eva Cassidy.
Her version of Sting's "Fields of Gold" & her version of "Over the Rainbow"tear me up.
An amazing singer.Soulful & emotional.She left us too soon.

 

[Nyarlathotep]

[refuses to give up man card]

You can have it from my cold dead fingers

I figure that cus I listen to a lot of "angry" music that's why "Candle in the Wind" affects me so.

 

[lowendisthebest]

Man of the Hour - Pearl Jam. Especially when it plays at the end of the movie "Big Fish".

Funny story (to me):

While at one of the the merch tents at the Pemberton Festival (back in June), where Coldplay was the Sunday night headliner, a bunch of late-teens were wondering about what shirts to get.

Teen 1: Man, I don't know what I'm getting...
Teen 2: You should get that Coldplay shirt.
Teen 1: Why?
Teen 2 [in perfect deadpan]: So you can use it to wipe your tears during the Coldplay set...

There was something about the delivery of that last line by Teen 2 that was soo perfect, I couldn't stop laughing about it for days....

As for my own contribution to this thread: The entire Quadrophenia album by The Who is capable of reducing me to tears, depending on the mood I'm in.

 

[pinkzepphish]

after the goldrush - neil young

my missing - xavier rudd

wading in the velvet sea - phish

a few other too

 

[Syeknom]

Gloomy Sunday (covered my many - I'm ashamed to say I don't entirely know who sung the version I own - I think it's maybe Sarah McLachlan), and Radiohead's Fake Plastic Trees. When either song reaches its climax I burst into tears without fail. Its entirely uncontrollable.

 

[Bob the bassist]

Eric Bogle - The Band Played Waltzing Matilda
Eagles - Pretty Maids All in a Row
Robert John - Sad Eyes (How cliche can ya get, eh?)

and others, but then again, I get misty when cartoon animals die. It's such a horrible tragedy when the animators stop drawing them. . .
