Music that's made you cry
 

not because it was crap, but because it really did make you feel either so sad, or so elated that it brought you to tears?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RE58MsToRj4 This has almost got me there on many occasions, but really, it takes a lot of me to cry. I haven't cried in years.

half of what i say is meaningless
but i say it just to reach you
juuuuuliaaaa


and

velvet underground - ocean

and the great gig in the sky

movie scores move me rather than actual songs

God Only Knows - The Beach Boys (every fucking time!)
Do You Realize - The Flaming Lips (most times, especially when I saw them)

It's the song that'll be played at my funeral. People have been informed.

i have never criedlistening to that but it's one of my favourite songs ever

It genuinely leaves me speechless every time I hear it. Just beautiful.

i love the video for it too.

The bit in slow motion when he's tap dancing, and the bits before that when he's just walking along in central park. Fuck. Amazing.

Mark Chapman. You really were one total fucking arsehole of a cunt.

radiohead- all i need

he's still alive, isn't he. bastard.

Pass In Time by Beth Orton.

cantankerous^^another case of mediocrity triumphing over greatness i suppose. which in itself is enough to bring tears to the eyes. one of humanity's great mistakes.

Where did you Sleep Last Night - Nirvana
Doll Parts - Hole

That's all that comes to mind.

It's normally things songs remind me of that make me cry, not the song itself. I listened to both those songs plenty of times before I cried to them.

this isn't a song but it's music-related
i shed a tear when i listened to this
and when i read the ending of that book come as you are

I've mentioned it before, I think, but the last time I cried spontaneously at a song, was listening to Dennis Wilson's "Mexico" for the very first time. An absolutely beautiful tune.

Thin White Rope's "Disney Girl" could make me blub as a young 'un, too.

Last time I cried was when I heard Slowdive - Dagger. I was pretty down and drunk at that moment but nevertheless it's a beautiful song.

The Notwist - Off the rails
Jeff Buckley - Morning theft

Special D's come with me (which, as you may know, is my favourite song ever) reduces me to silly little tears of glee pretty much every time. I was glad to see someone posting Mogwai's Helicon 1, as that's my funeral song (but it doesn't make me blub any more). Ground Zero's 'I say a little prayer' is a tears of mirth one. The Fall's smile (and a fair few other songs) reduces me to a silly laughing, blubbing mess.

On the other hand, there's plenty of country and such that gets me a little bleary. An afternoon of Hank Williams will usually destroy me, as will Dolly, Kenny Roger's Lucille, Abba's the winner takes it all, Merle and ridiculous little things like Avril Lavigne or Rolf Harris. I'm very susceptible to an utterly preposterous song that's melancholy, as it happens.
