Have you ever seen the reason why that song was written?

Unbreak My Heart by Toni Braxton, for obvious reasons, often makes me cry.

For a happy, jumping round the room song you can't be Shiny Happy People by REM - just makes you bounce around!

Maroon5 "She will be loved", Robbie Williams "Angels" "She's the One" and "Sexed Up", Bon Jovi "Bed of Roses" They make me either cry or mellow me a bit.
Really love Andrea Bochelli(sp?) and Sarah Brightman's "Time to say goodbye", Philip Schofield's "Close every door" and the music from The Godfather3. I don't know how they make me feel, maybe thoughtful?
My happy songs are "Let me entertain you", "When you're looking like that", "World of our own" and the live version of "November Rain".
Also love the Irish national anthem and Ireland's Call down the pub watching Ireland rugby matches.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by 'emotional' but the hymn "On Eagle's Wings" really gets to me. It was always my favorite since I was really young.

the refrain:
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.

That's the song that started me crying at my graduation mass.

I believe I can Fly by R Kelly ... it makes me want to cry, severe off my ears and gouge my eyes out with my bare hands .... can't stand it, makes me very emotional.

Fake Plastic Trees - Radiohead, makes me howl for very personal reasons, in fact, I've just discovered even the thought of it makes me a bit weepy

4 that comes to mind are:

Fur Elise and Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven

Nessun Dorma (especially the instrumental version) by Turandot

Angels & She's The One By Robbie Williams


Also Ireland's national anthem gets me emotional sometimes, especially before the football match and at other sporting events or some kind of large events

Bon Jovi - Bed of Roses as it reminds me of a good friend.

The Humpty Dumpty Song - Travis as it reminds me of a hard time separated from a good friend.

Love Changes Everything - so rousing.

Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again from Phantom of the Opera.

The list is endless.

Theres a song from the 80's (i think) called 'All By Myself'. Celine Dion did a version too (although i didnt like it). Im not sure who the original songer was though

It always makes me feel a bit emotional.

Talking of this mortal coil, it was them who 'You and your sister' (?) right? That's quite emotional as well.

It's already mentioned but Atmosphere by Joy Division does it for me.
Maybe The Chicken Song by Spitting Image but what that says about me I'm not sure.

Not a song, but Rodrigo's Concerto de Aranjez (spelling is I know wrong) gets me every time - don't know why!
