I was just wondering if there was any song (share reasons if you feel it appropriate) that makes you a little weepy?
Wires but Athlete, that sets me off a bit. I also get a bit bleary eyed while listening to Always on my mind by Willie Nelson and Hurt by Johnny Cash. What about you guys?

Heaven Candlelight 911 remix I have made so many people cry by playing it to them.
Eskimo Song, the last track on Damien Rice's album. The operatic bit caught me completely by surprise and had me weeping. Incredible stuff

Hurt by Johnny Cash is an awesome song.


My ex use to cry all the time when the song ghetto out by changing faces would come on.

"Hope there's someone" by Antony and the Johnsons, listen at http:www.myspace.com/antonyandthejohnsons
This Woman's Work by Kate Bush reminds me of my Grandma for some reason, it baffles me because tehre's no reason to put them together. But it makes me cry like nothing else. Hurt by Johnny Cash is also a good choice, although i find the video sadder than the song.
Seven Golden Daffodils, by Lonnie Donegan, its a slow love song, and always reminds me of Springtime.
The scorpions 'wind of change',I couldn't listen to it for years and if i did i cried my eyes out,only been able to listen to it without crying since about october,it is a memorial song to me.

Ohio - Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young


It is such a powerful song if you look at the context. I get worked up every time I listen to it.


The liner notes of Neil Young's Decade albume include:


"It's still hard to believe I had to write this song. It's ironic that I capitalized on the death of these American students. Probably the most important lesson ever learned at an American place of learning. David Crosby cried after this take."

Try "Danny Boy" by Eva Cassidy. I can't listen to her without getting wet eyed.
Reason to believe, by Tim Hardin

Drift Away by Dobie Gray - my funeral song if I die first.


Always On My Mind - Willie Nelson - my wife's funeral song if she dies first.


Somehwere Over The Rainbow - Eva Casidy Forget Her - Jeff Buckley Crying - Roy Orbison If You Go Away - Dusty Springfield The Chain - Fleetwood Mac


because to be able to write and / or sing a song like those, you have been seriously hurt in your life, and that pain comes through.

Don't you love me anymore ..........Joe Cocker
Dance With My Father by Luther Vandross and Full of Grace by Sarah McLachlin.
