What song makes you cry?

elton john - tiny dancer

but its not a omg its so sad kinda crying,
but more like, aaaah memories, crying with a smile on your face.

 

smashing pumpkins - 33
john lennon - imagine
depeche mode - the love thieves
u2 - one
nine inch nails - a warm place
chopin - nocturne in E minor

 

the doors - indian summer...

but, like lisa said, with smile on my face.

 

Thats exactly what I had when I started this thread. I smiled and cried at the beauty of the bravery and heroism in the song.

 

Dire Straits - you and your friends (live) /well i've been let down a couple of times, and this song hooks in right at that. "are you gonna come around, or are you gonna let me down"

But the absolute tearjerker of alltimes
Bob Marley - Redemption Songs (acoustic version) everytime i could wheep! and have.
this song is ultraspecial for me, i recantly lost one of my best friends, and this song....-*sniff sniff* excuse me....

 

May I ask why you associate redemption song with the death of a friend?

 

all roads lead to bob marley...
He was a rasta, Bob marley was his father.
we played Redemption songs at his funerall, the music was my task, since we had many discussions about life, death & music.
that song the acoustic version is just so huanting, with that beautifull intermezzo & then the lyrics a agian...so magical

Porthishead was also played... It's a fire...

I want that to be played at my funeral aswell for my sister

 

...

 

It's a fire,
These dreams they pass me by,
The salvation I desire,
Keeps getting me down.

'Cause we need to,
Recognize mistakes,
For time and again.

So let it be known,
For what we believe in,
I can see no reason,
For it to fail.

'Cause this life is a farce,
I can't breathe through this mask,
Like a fool,
So breathe on, sister, breathe on.

From this oneself,
Testify or tell,
It's fooling us now,

So let it be known,
For what we believe in,
I can see no reason,
For it to fail.

'Cause this life is a farce,
I can't breathe through this mask,
Like a fool
So breathe on, little sister, breathe on,
Oh, so breathe on, little sister, breathe on

 

Melanie Safka - Beautiful people hits me almost everytime i hear it:

You live in the same world as I do
But somehow I never noticed
You before today
I'm ashamed to say

Beautiful people
We share the same back door
And it isn't right
We never met before
But then
We may never meet again
If I weren't afraid you'd laugh at me
I would run and take all your hands
And I'd gather everyone together for a day
And when we gather'd
I'll pass buttons out that say
Beautiful people
Then you'd never have to be alone
'Cause there'll always be someone
With the same button on as you
Include him in everything you do.

Beautiful people
You ride the same subway
As I do ev'ry morning
That's got to tell you something
We've got so much in common
I go the same direction that you do
So if you take care of me
Maybe I'll take care of you

Beautiful people
You look like friends of mine
And it's about time
That someone said it here and now
I make a vow that some time, somehow
I'll have a meeting
Invite ev'ryone you know
I'll pass out buttons to
The ones who come to show
Beautiful people
Never have to be alone
'Cause there'll always be someone
With the same button on as you
Include him in ev'rything you do
He may be sitting right next to you
He may be beautiful people too
And if you take care of him
Maybe I'll take care of you
And if you take care of him
Maybe I'll take care of you...

 

Anything by the Grateful Dead.

 

i think i just threw up a little in my mouth ;(

 

only 3 songs i can think of
first: from beatles - yesterday and eleanor rigby i listen to them when i fail when i feel realy down and i cry it's very releasing

them from my native country song Suojelus Enkeli (translates guarding angel)
i like mostly cover by viikate
it's song in finnish it's a special song since my mother used to sing it to me
when i was young and it allways reminds me of my childhood wich is bith bad and good.

 

The one song I can remember shedding a tear on when listening to was Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt.

*edit*
Wish you Were Here had never really made me choke up before, but at the Live 8 concert, finally getting to see Pink Floyd together, and with Roger dedicating it to Syd, that did make me choke up a little bit.

 

...

 

stella blue can make me a bit teary, same with unbroken chain

 

Righteous Brothers......You've Lost that Loving Feeling........

Nothing sadder.

 

oh its SO OBVIOUS....cause u know me!!!!!

does that mean i should be mad that a close personal friend like you forgot about my father who died when i was 21?

 

pft......emo. jk

 

Black Muddy River by the dead. last song jerry ever sang with the dead, and its just beautiful and the lyrics are so emotional. if u hear the live version of his last performance, he fucks up a lot which makes it even more emotional.
