I agree with both for exactly the same reason and also

"Half The World Away" - Oasis, because it was the first song I'd ever heard of theirs and the words remind me about how I felt at that moment being 15 and wanting to get away from everything that was happening.

Winds of Change- Scorpions.
Because of what it's about- the fall of communism in Europe and the Berlin wall coming down, written by someone with first hand experienced it. There was a lot of emotion behind it, so it's a very powerful song.

Le Ciel- Malice Mizer.
Quite a strange one in that I'm not entirely sure why this gets me like it does- I'm not 100% on what it's about (It's in Japanese, which doesn't always translate into English very well, so the only translations I could get aren't completely clear and lose a lot of the effect). It's mostly the hollow, depressed tone of the singers voice, as well as the visuals in the video (starts with a bedraggled young girl walking through- well, I think it's meant to be purgatory but it looks more like a city after a Nuclear Attack- and ending with the same girl looking sadly at various scenes, before being taken 'on', I suppose, by the singer) that get me.

Various- X Japan.
Tearjerker city, although as its mostly bits of songs and live performances that get me I couldn't really out on particular song. The beginning lyrics of Art of Life, the performance of Forever Love in the Last Live where half the band breaks down in tears, the line in Jade "Your Scars are Beautiful" (God, I wish I knew what that song was about!), The bit in the IV where they disply hide's guitar... just little tidbits that choke you up, all over the place...

Infection- D'espairsray.
This song it's cheesy and cliched as hell and the Engrish is horrible- but somehow, it still works, and the first time I heard it, I welled up.

Empty Walls- Serj Tankian.
It doesn't make me cry, but it does send shivers down my spine, even now, after I've heard it so many times. The video- children acting out war with toys- makes it worse, although the lyrics- begging someone not to go to war- are strong enough on their own. In fact, anti-war songs usually get me, to the point where I like them even if they're of a genre I don't tend to listen to. I love Nerina Pallot's indie-pop song Everybody's Gone To War just for the lyrics, Nena's 99 luftballon/99 red ballons is also growing on me, despite being, well, just pop. And John and Yoko's War Is Over still touches me a bit even though that type of music has really never, ever been for me.

Home ~ Foo Fighters

I've just moved up to Uni - this song keeps making me tear up, but for some reason, I can't stop listening to it.

The theme from Cheers is another one, not entirely sure why, because I love Cheers - but the song on it's own is quite a sad one.

This song doesn't make me cry, but has some good lyrics on the subject:
"But don't forget that songs that made you cry
And the songs that saved your life
Yes you're older now and you're a clever swine
But they were the only ones who ever stood by you"
Rubber Ring - The Smiths

Cold Desert by Kings of Leon really gets to me, Caleb's voice sounds so raw and sad.
"Jesus don't love me, no-one ever carried my load,
I'm too young to feel this old."
When they played it at Leeds it took down everyone, including the lads!

Also You Could be Happy by Snow Patrol is not a good song to listen to whilst going through a heavy breakup (won't make that mistake again, or listen to The Scientist!), but you can't deny it's beautiful

Now - The Carpenters - the last song Karen recorded before she died. So tragically young.

Streets of Philadelphia - Bruce Springsteen - About a man who sees his life wasting away before his eyes as he faces his own death due to fighting AIDS. Superb song and very powerful

Kate Bush - This Woman's Work
Kirsty MacColl - Dear John (as well as Eddi Reader's cover of it).

Only two sprang to mind. But I'm sure there are plenty.

Depending on my mood there are a number of songs that can make me cry but there is only one song that is guaranteed to choke me every time I hear it (regardless of who is singing it)

Green Fields of France (Jake Burns, Dropkick Murphys, The Fureys and a million and one other bands)

This song encapsulates the complete waste of life that was WWI. It does it from a viewpoint of a tourist (?) walking through the war graves in France who starts wondering how the young soldier died, whether they had 'a sweetheart at home' and whether they 'really believed that this war would end all wars'.

The first time I heard this song (the Jake Burns version) I literally had to sit down and cry - it is unbelievably emotional.

God Only Knows, by The Beach Boys/Brian Wilson. Not so much when listening to it at home, but whenever I see him sing it in person, it gets me each time.

Also, that medley of A Day In The Life/Give Peace A Chance that Macca did in Liverpool last year. I saw it on t.v, and it was such a surprise.
It was during that period when kids were killing kids. It was just the right song at the right time. I was blubbing saying " you are so right on there, Macca, so right."
