Songs that make you cry?
Does anybody have any songs which are so powerful and beautiful that they have the ability to reduce them to tears?
With me it has to be either Motorcycle Emptiness by the Manics or the magnificent Atmosphere by Joy Division. |

To be honest, nothing ever makes me cry but the songs that get me more than any others are
Love Will Tear Us -Joy Division About A Girl - Nirvana |

Until recently no song had ever made me cry but a rather large case of unrequited love has made me a bit emotional at times. I know Dosed by the Red Hot Chili Peppers has, as has Could Have Lied, also by the Chilis. Warning Sign by Coldplay probably has too

Fields of Gold - Eva Cassidy.
The River - Bruce Springsteen Candle In The Wind (The Diana version) - Elton John. That last one is a joke by the way. |

Landslide - Fleetwood Mac. If it's any defence, I only cry when I'm singing/playing it on guitar, it and relate the words to life. Quote:
I took my love, i took it down
climbed a mountain and I turned around and I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills 'til the landslide brought it down oh, mirror in the sky -what is love? -can the child within my heart rise above? -can I sail thru the changin' ocean tides? -can I handle the seasons of my life? I don't know..... well, I've been afraid of changin' 'cause i've built my life around you but time makes you bolder even children get older and i'm getting older too oh, take my love, take it down climb a mountain and turn around -and if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills well the landslide will bring it down -and if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills well the landslide will bring it down the landslide will bring it down |

Eva Cassidy - Over The Rainbow
Didn't particularly like this song till I heard her sing it. Just shows what a great singer can do. And the words just seemed to fit what happened to her. Also the introduction on Coldplay's The Scientist makes me stop and listen but doesn't quite qualify cos I didn't cry to it yet. |

'Don't Give Up' - Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush. Ok when I'm just listening, but singing it makes me cry. And it's not just me - I've noticed that anyone listening to me singing it is also invariably reduced to tears.

This song usually comes up in every one of these lists I've seen on the net. Covered by Tori Amos, Dixie Chicks (I think they're in the American charts with it right now) and The Smashing Pumpkins - it's a beautiful song. Good band. Honest, and passionate pop music. |

The Night i heard Caruso sing by Everything But The Girl, and Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley.
Both songs get me every time - just superb. |

Im listening to this song right now.
And Still by Reba McEntire You really have to listen to the song, the words on their own just dont seem right but here is how it goes: Thousands of people live in this town And I had to run into him When I saw him there on that busy street Those feelings came back again There was nowhere to run, nowhere to hide He walked up to me, looked in my eyes And still The world the stood still I couldn't move And all I could feel Was this aching in my heart Saying I loved him still He said how've you been It's great to see you again You're really a sight for sore eyes I said, I can't complain I'm doing fine We talked as the people rushed by We laughed about old times and all we went through That's when he hugged me and said I've missed you And still The world the stood still I couldn't move And all I could feel Was this aching in my heart Saying I loved him still That's when she walked up to him He said, this is my wife I gave my best smile But I was dying inside He said we gotta go now It's getting late It was so good to see you Then they walked away And still My world the stood still I couldn't move And all I could feel Was this aching in my heart Saying I loved him still Its taken of the album read My Mind, which has a few other weepies *sniff* |

well..bring a lump to my throat anyway.
Abba 'The winner takes it all'. If youve just been dumped and listen to this song you'll be sobbing ya guts out. Bonnie Tyler 'Total eclipse of the heart'. Ditto Malachi from FA singing 'Fields of gold'. The version he does on the FA album is so emotional. |

Never made me cry, but along those lines:
Barenaked Ladies - Call and Answer Barenaked Ladies - The Wrong Man Was Convicted Toy Story 2 Soundtrack - When She Loved me That last one is a really good song. The name of the woman who sings it escapes me right now, but I know she's Canadian. |
