What Song(s) Make You Cry the Most?

[jrs]

For me it is :

"The Living Years" - Mike and the Mechanics
"Dance With My Father" - Luther Vandross

[noahdrake]

the christmas shoes (yeah, i know. i'm a sap!) and butterfly kisses (i have a 6 year old daughter).

[led_zeppelin]

Ok, I've never cried during any song, but there are some pretty emotional songs out there that I like. Probably Into the West on ROTK by Annie Lennox is my fav. "emotional" song. Although I've never actually cried to it, it's still pretty moving stuff.

[Fall-from-Grace]

sleeping sun by Nightwish
shrink by The Gathering
so sad by King Diamond
Garden of Stones by To/Die/For

[Hondo333]

I have never cried in a song but House Of Ghosts - Weddings Parties Anything makes me very sad.

[LordSlaytan]

For those of you who say you haven't cried to a song:

Go through a tragedy, listen to a particular album while grieving, listen to it later in life, then watch out!

The song that gets me is The Beatles The Long and Winding Road, I sang it at my Mother's graveside service. I pass on ever listening to it anymore.

I cant belive i forgot.

Tears In Heaven, was played at my freinds funeral as they lowered the coffin into the ground and his mum screamed at the top of her voice "What are you doing with my boy, bring him back", and ran to the grave and collapsed... i get tears just thinking about it.

[bluebottle]

(Sittin' on) the Dock of the Bay sung by Otis Redding and In the Ghetto make me go a bit weepy.

[LordSlaytan]

There isn't a time or place where Amazing Grace or Danny Boy won't at least make me feel melancholy.

[Loner]

The song the German girl(Susanne Christian) sings at the end of Paths Of Glory.

There are a lot of sad or beautiful songs that make me melancholic. But for some reason the music that actually can make the tears flood down my face is music that inspire people with courage or call for uprising against opression. I truly am a sucker for gospel music and cry like hell when I listen to the fantastic Amazing Grace double live cd with Aretha Franklin. Spiritual in every meaning of the word. I also can shed a tear or two when I listen to One Love/People Get Ready with Bob Marley, or several other songs by the king.

[slug_slug]

You'll Be In My Heart-Phil Collins ( i listened to it when i was grieving for my grandmother)
Mad World (but only when I watch Donnie Darko)
Seasons in the Sun...
The song that they played at my Grandma's funeral... It's an opera song, and it's not Ave Maria, but it has Maria in it... it's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard...

[Monkeypunch]

Three songs that make me cry like a little girl.....

Bridge Over Troubled Water - Johnny Cash and Fiona Apple. (This was playing on my cd player on the way to the hospital the day my mom died...Still can't listen to it.)

Goodbye to You - Michelle Branch. (The saddest damn breakup song I have ever heard. I heard this on an episode of Buffy and i lost it...)

Hospital - Johnathan Richman and The Modern Lovers. (This song reminds me too much of somebody i am trying not to think about right now....it's POWERFUL, though)

[Zeiken]

REM- everybody hurts. I guess it just reminds me of all the reasons why i should be hurting.
That, and it was on the radio right after i watched my one true love move thousands of miles away without even a goodbye. sad stuff. 'Mad World' from donny darko gets me sometimes, depending on the situation. Oh, and just between us MoFo's, 'Desperado' can get to me. :(

[Sidewinder]

Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton. Very sad stuff. :bawling:

[susan]

beautiful boy by john lennon

always makes me cry thinking that john wasn't able to see his son sean growing up

[Caitlyn]

Who Wants to Live Forever - Queen

In the Arms of an Angel - Sarah McLachlan

Amazing Grace - played on the bagpipes

[Krackalackin]

What's that love song? "Oh, Mandy"? You know the one. "...But I sent you away, Oh mandy." That song always chokes me up. Such a damn good song.

[blibblobblib]

In the Arms of an Angel - Sarah McLachlan

I absoloutly love this song. Its so so sad and beautiful, everything from the lyrics to the music itself is so moving. Have you heard Good Enough By McLachlan too? Thats another of my faves. Actually i love most of her muisc, i find it all so incredibly emotional. I thinks its her voice and the way she speaks the words. Her song from Toy Story 2 Always brings a lump to my throat.

[Sedai]

Finale - Last of the Mohicans - That damn scene gets me every time.

For some reason, Love Theme - Mulholland Drive gets me feeling down, but I like it.

[blibblobblib]

Most of the music from James Horners score's and especially his Meet Joe Black score makes me pretty emotional. I absoloutly love the violins and strings in his work and i find some of the music from this film absoloulty beautiful. If im in the right frame of mind and feeling melancholy and nostalgic it can make me cry. but if im in another frame of mind it can make me happy and ambitious. Its absoloulty beautiful music. I also have similar emotions when i listen to the score from Gladiator. The final song in the film, i dont know the name of it, but its truly beautiful. The scores from other films such as The Perfect Storm, Bicentennial Man, Cast Away, Dorian Grey and Last of the Mohicans are also amazing pieces of music. i know some of the films are pretty corny but you really cant fault the music.

Kissing You by Deseree is a beatiful song. She sings it in LurhmansRomeo and Julliet. A really powerful song.

Sedai, i really like the love theme from Mulholland Drive too. When i first saw the performance of Crying in that film i was blown away. Such a beatiful and powerful song, sounds even more amazing sung in Italian (Was it italian that the woman sings it in? Whatever language it is, its sounds so sad and powerful.)

Yes, I've heard Good Enough... it's a favorite of mine too... Sarah has a beautiful voice and I basically like everything she has done... :) Have you heard her new CD Afterglow?


Finale - Last of the Mohicans - That damn scene gets me every time.


Me too... Mohicans is my all time favorite soundtrack...

[Caitlyn]

I need to add Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits

[AboveTheClouds]

No song has ever made me cry.

[SamsoniteDelilah]

For those of you who say you haven't cried to a song:

Go through a tragedy, listen to a particular album while grieving, listen to it later in life, then watch out!...Exactly.
I had heard the Cat Stevens song "Oh, Very Young" countless times and never thought anything about the lyrics til I happened to hear it about 2 months after my dad died. I was leveled by the lines:
though your dreams may toss and turn you now
they will vanish away like your dad's best jeans
denim blue, fading up to the sky

Also:
"Winter" by Tori Amos
"Fields of Gold" as recorded by Eva Cassidy (written by Sting)

[Heartagram]

No song has ever made me cry, but Televators by The Mars Volta conjures up some sad feelings for sure.

[Eyes]

Evanescense-Fallen tracks 3,4,7, and 10, dunno all the names, and http://www.digitallyimported.com/ gets me worked up sometimes, the other side of that, is that those are the only things that can make me cry, other than that, and Amy, (naturally), i'm dead inside

[Zeiken]

every time i hear Lifehouse's 'Somewhere Inbetween' i cry- not of sorrow or remorse though- just emotion overload.

[allthatglitters]

I think I've only cried once when listening to a song, but I get pretty emotional with a couple.

He - Jars of Clay Here's just a snippet:

Don't try to reach me, I'm already dead
The pain when it grips me, for things that I've done
Well I try to make you proud, but for crying out loud
Just give me a chance to hide away
Exhaustion takes over, will this someday be over?

Fearful tears are running down
The pain you've laid don't speak a sound
Don't take my heart away from me
And they think I fell down

That was the one I cried during, I think.

Music of the Night- The Phantom of the Opera

Micheal Crawford....what else is there to say?

I dreamed a Dream - Les Miserables

hmm now that I think of it, the whole Les Mis soundtrack is pretty dang emotional.
