Songs that make you cry..........

I'm interested in knowing what songs, specifically, make us cry, and why. I'm directing this mainly to the men here, but the women can chime in as well 
For me, it's 3 songs, predominantly:
Father and Son, by Cat Stevens
It's not time to make a change Just relax, take it easy You're still young, that's your fault There's so much you have to know Find a girl, settle down If you want, you can marry Look at me, I am old But I'm happy
I was once like you are now And I know that it's not easy To be calm when you've found Something going on But take your time, think a lot I think of everything you've got For you will still be here tomorrow But your dreams may not
How can I try to explain When I do he turns away again And it's always been the same Same old story From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen Now there's a way and I know That I have to go away I know I have to go
It's not time to make a change Just sit down and take it slowly You're still young that's your fault There's so much you have to go through Find a girl, settle down If you want, you can marry Look at me, I am old But I'm happy
All the times that I've cried Keeping all the things I knew inside And it's hard, but it's harder To ignore it If they were right I'd agree But it's them they know, not me Now there's a way and I know That i have to go away I know I have to go
I was adopted, a child of divorce, then lost 2 step-fathers to cancer. Now I'm a father. I don't think I need say more.
Can't get it outta my head, by ELO
This song was playing after I hadn't seen my wife and child for 6 months while I was overseas. Some girl was listening to it, crying, I might add. I'd always loved the song.
The Long and Winding Road, by the Beatles
Again. A woman! damned if you do and damned if you don't! 
Every time I listen to the Cat Stevens song I sob like a two year old. The song means a lot to me.

a beautiful, touching song to begin with, with way too much personal connection (anyone who was around last winter probably heard more about this than they deserved or wanted.... sorry bout that....)

On your own - Verve
Tell me what you see Was it a dream? Was I in it? Life seemed so obscene until it's over Who knows?
All I want is someone who can fill the hole In the life I know In between life and death when there's nothing left Do you wanna know?
You come in on your own And you leave on your own Forget the lovers you've know And your friends on your own
Tell me if it's true That I need you, you are changing I've seen this road before down on the floor It is hurting me
All I want is someone who can fill the hole in the life I know In between life and death when there's nothing left Do you want to know?
You come in on your own And you leave on your own Forget the lovers you've know And your friends on your own
Lies I've got to get rid of this hole inside
-------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- When it comes I'll know, I know Just take my clothes and leave And I'll be gone

Well here it is...the only song that ever made me cry...
Wrote A Song For Everyone Lyrics: (J.C. Fogerty)
Met myself a comin' county welfare line. I was feelin' strung out, Hung out on the line. Saw myself a goin', down to war in June. All I want, All I want is to write myself a tune.
CHORUS: Wrote A Song For Ev'ryone, Wrote a song for truth. Wrote A Song For Ev'ryone And I couldn't even talk to you.
Got myself arrested, Wound me up in jail. Richmond 'bout to blow up, Communication failed. If you see the answer, now's the time to say. All I want, All I want is to get you down to pray.
CHORUS
CHORUS
Saw the people standin' thousand years in chains. Somebody said it's diff'rent now, look, it's just the same. Pharoahs spin the message, round and round the truth. They could have saved a million people, How can I tell you?
CHORUS CHORUS CHORUS

yeah, beatles "let it be" is great... "Castles Burning" by Neil Young is a good one... there are a couple of other songs that Neil did on his album "after the gold rush" that are pretty sentimental, but i'm not looking at that names right now, and i can seem to recall them... "I believe in you", and i think the other one was "birds"... and definitely other shit by cat stevens (no specifics)... damn that man could write. another one by neil young was "Harley Davidson"

Yeh Neil Young is the shit. After the Goldrush sends shiver's down my spine. Harvest is the bomb too. The first time I ever got stoned I listened to After the Goldrush. It was my dad's album and his weed. I was a changed man(or boy I should say since I was only 11 or 12) after that. It was an awsome experiance and I learned how well weed and music combine. I felt as if I left my body for awhile as Neil sang softley in the background.

Birds, by Neil Young is one song my wife always cries too. It's a personal thing between us that I wouldn't DARE tell y'all about, valueing my life as I do!  After the gold rush has many sentimental songs, including Heart of Gold.

Neil Young's "Natural Beauty" always sends shivers down my spine.
I've cried to Guns 'N Roses "Estranged." They actually have a lot of sentimental songs. "November Rain" is another one.

Temple of the Dog - "Say hello to heaven" Reminds me of someone very important to me that I lost awhile back...
Please, mother mercy Take me from this place And the long winded curses I keep hearing in my head Words never listen And teachers never learn Now I'm warm from the candle But I feel too cold to burn He came from an island And he died from the street He hurt so bad like a soul breaking But he never said nothing to me So say hello to heaven
New like a baby Lost like a prayer The sky was your playground But the cold ground was your bed Poor stargazer She's got no tears in her eyes Smooth like whisper She knows that love heals all wounds with time Now it seems like too much love Is never enough, you better seek out Another road 'cause this one has Ended abrupt, say hello to heaven
I never wanted To write these words down for you With the pages of phrases Of things we'll never do So I blow out the candle, and I put you to bed Since you can't say to me Now how the dogs broke your bone There's just one thing left to be said Say hello to heaven Chris Cornell really captures the emotion behind this song, or atleast I think so.

This one makes me weep like a little girl...................
Soul Sister by Blue Mountain
She used to be my soul sister Best friend I ever had Till my mind got twisted all around
Now shes gone and I miss her Some nights so bad And I'm hoping that she'll come back around
First time that I saw her Was the summer I turned fourteen Sitting on the hood of a car at a drive-in show
I saw a tear roll down her face As she gazed up at the screen And her black hair in the wind began to blow
Shine on soul sister She's the only bright lite in this town She's my soul sister And I'm hopeing that she'll come back around
last time that I saw her Was though the bottom of a glass I was struggling to hold my head up off the floor
I called her name not once but twice But she moved just a little to fast As she walked out of my life and slammed the door
Shine on soul sister She's the only bright lite in this town She's my soul sister And I'm hopeing that she'll come back around
She used to be my soul sister Best friend I ever had Till my mind got twisted all around
Now shes gone and I miss her Some nights so bad And I'm hoping that she'll come back around That she'll come back around

Absolutely correct! I remembered that after I posted. I can remember being about 11 or 12, listening to after the gold rush on one of those cassette players that were the first ones made. The square type that was used for dictation. i wore that tape out into oblivion! Harvest is a great album too!

H.
What's coming through is alive. What's holding up is a mirror. But what's singing songs is a snake Looking to turn this piss to wine.
They're both totally void of hate, But killing me just the same.
The snake behind me hisses What my damage could have been. My blood before me begs me Open up my heart again.
And I feel this coming over like a storm again. Considerately.
Venomous voice, tempts me, Drains me, bleeds me, Leaves me cracked and empty. Drags me down like some sweet gravity.
The snake behind me hisses What my damage could have been. My blood before me begs me Open up my heart again.
And I feel this coming over like a storm again.
I am too connected to you to Slip away, to fade away. Days away I still feel you Touching me, changing me, And considerately killing me.
Without the skin, Beneath the storm, Under these tears The walls came down.
And the snake is drowned and As I look in his eyes, My fear begins to fade Recalling all of those times.
I could have cried then. I should have cried then.
And as the walls come down and As I look in your eyes My fear begins to fade Recalling all of the times I have died and will die. It's all right. I don't mind.
I am too connected to you to Slip away, to fade away. Days away I still feel you Touching me, changing me,
And considerately killing me.

G C G D Hey, where did we go, days when the rains came G C G D Down in the hollow, playin' a new game G C G D Laughin' and a-singin' hey-hey, skippin' and a-jumpin G C G D C D In the misty morning fog, with our hearts thumpin and you G Em C D G My Brown-eyed girl, you my-y brown eyed girl
Hey whatever happened, Tuesday went so slow Goin down the old mine with a transistor radio Standin' in the sunlight laughin', hide behind the rainbow's wall Slippin' and a-slidin', all along the waterfall with you My brown eyed girl, you my brown eyed girl
Chorus: D G Do you remember when we used to sing C G D Sha-la-la la-la la-la la-la la-la de-da (x2) C D G Em C D G D La-de-da
So hard to find my way, now that I'm all on my own Saw you just the other day, my how you have grown Cast my memory back there lord, sometimes I'm overcome, thinkin'bout Making love in the green grass, behind the stadium with you My brown eyed girl, you my brown eyed girl

D A Hey Jude, don't make it bad A7 D Take a sad song and make it better G D Remember to let her into your heart A7 D Then you can start to make it better
D A Hey Jude, dont be afraid A7 D You were made to go out and get her G D The minute you let her under your skin A7 D D7 Then you begin to make it better
G Em And any time you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain A7 D Don't carry the world upon your shoulder G Em For don't you know that it's a fool who plays it cool A7 D By making his world a little colder D7 A7 Na na na na na, na na na na
Hey Jude don't let me down
You have found her, now go and get her
The minute you let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
So let it out and let it in, Hey Jude, begin
You're looking for someone to get closer
But don't you know that it's just you
Hey Jude, You'll do, the movement you need
Is on your shoulder
Na na na na na, na na na na
Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better..better..better..better
Yeah!! D C G D Na, na, na na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, Hey Jude

Forgot one, Joe Walsh "Indian Summer"
I was taken by surprise by the thunder Sit and stared out at the rain Taken back I was younger In the vacant lot days
And the fall brought an Indian summer And plenty of places to play I can still hear them calling Far away I can hear the thunder Far away
Well the summers are hot And the winters get cold Not alot smarter but another year old Sometimes I'm still at the fishing hole
And you never needed bait where we used to go Just a safety pin hook on a bamboo pole Take the big ones home let the little ones go Far away I can hear the thunder Walking down that alley
And its not as easy as it used to be Finding time to let my mind wander I can still hear them calling Indian summer

The Last Time I really sobbed just from a a song was "Blues for Allah" off of One from the Vault. I didnt even realize what a sad song it is untill I was just sitting there and started crying.
So many songs make me cry / tears well up. Mostly Dead shit.
Coltrane makes me cry to. Good Thread.

I feel you on that one, bro.
Pushit does for me too sometimes.
Also, how to dissapear completely by Radiohead.
And sometimes Orestes or Three Libras by APC. And the Smashing Pumpkins cover of landslide and sometimes Meladori Magpie, why, i dont know
I suppose there are lots depending on how vulnerable i feel..
AIC, down in a hole. I know Floyd has done it more than one occasion. Sometimes the climax of Sheep is so amazingly beautiful that i cant help it.

Good thing I'm on an unknown substance, or I'd be crying like a baby ripped away from his mothers breast...
God I miss that girl. who she is now != who she was
Grab love when it's within your reach. It's like an entity that exists in the networking between people. You must incubate it properly and care for it very carefully whilst reaping the fruits. Otherwise you might find that you've just picked all the fruits, and there's no cake left to keep making the fruits.
W0w, hallucinations, cool.... What a body-load!
2C-C???
What I'm saying is that there was love between me and a girl, then all of a sudden there wasn't, and keeping us as close as we had been before, for fear of change, or loss of that feeling of love -- was just causing more pain and trouble.
I miss having sex with love. That was really nice. Better than a hug 
Somebody cry with me

Alan Parsons Project. Old and Wise
Lyrics:
As far as my eyes can see There are Shadows approaching me And to those I left behind I wanted you to Know You've always shared my deepest thoughts You follow where I go
And oh when I'm old and wise Bitter words mean little to me Autumn Winds will blow right through me And someday in the mist of time When they asked me if I knew you I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine And the sadness would be Lifted from my eyes Oh when I'm old and wise
As far as my Eyes can see There are shadows surrounding me And to those I leave behind I want you all to know You've always Shared my darkest hours I'll miss you when I go
And oh, when I'm old and wise Heavy words that tossed and blew me Like Autumn winds that will blow right through me And someday in the mist of time When they ask you if you knew me Remember that You were a frined of mine As the final curtain falls before my eyes Oh when I'm Old and wise
Eric Carmen All by myself
Lyrics:
When I was young I never needed anyone And makin' love was just for fun Those days are gone
Livin' alone I think of all the friends I've known But when I dial the telephone Nobody's home
All by myself Don't wanna be, all by myself anymore All by myself Don't wanna live, all by myself anymore
Hard to be sure Sometimes I feel so insecure And love so distant and obscure Remains the cure
Michael Jackson One day in your life
Lyrics:
One day in your life you'll remember a place Someone's touching your face You'll come back and you'll look around you
One day in your life You'll remember the love you found here You'll remember me somehow Though you don't need me now I will stay in your heart And when things fall apart You'll remember one day...
One day in your life When you find that you're always waiting For the love we used to share Just call my name And I'll be there
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...)
You'll remember me somehow Though you don't need me now I will stay in your heart And when things fall apart You'll remember one day...
One day in your life When you find that you're always longing for the love we used to share Just call my name And I'll be there
(Ohh...)
Sadness loneliness and abuse. Have been a major thing in my life. Thats why i love these songs very much.

Gary Jules - Mad World
Originally a Tears for Fears song I believe it's also the ending song of Donnie Darko
lyrics for those interested:
all around me are familar faces worn out places worn out faces
bright and early for the daily races going nowhere going nowhere
their tears are filling up their glasses no expression no expression
hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow no tomorrow no tomorrow
and I find it kinda funny I find kinda sad the dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take when people run in circles it's a very very mad world mad world
children waiting for the day they feel good happy birhtday happy birthday
and I feel the way that every child should sit and listen sit and listen
went to school and I was very nervose no one knew me no one knew me
hello teacher tell me what's my lesson look right thourgh me look right through me
and I find it kinda funny I find kinda sad the dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take when people run in circles it's a very very mad world mad world
enlarge your world
mad world

REM Automatic for the People (1992) Everybody Hurts
When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone, when you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on. Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.
Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along. When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on) if you feel like letting go, (hold on) when you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.
Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends. Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand. If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone
If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long, when you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.
Well, everybody hurts sometimes, everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes. And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. (repeat & fade) (Everybody hurts. You are not alone.)
And how bout:
Sarah McLachlan - Angel
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance for a break that would make it okay there's always one reason to feel not good enough and it's hard at the end of the day I need some distraction oh beautiful release memory seeps from my veins let me be empty and weightless and maybe I'll find some peace tonight
in the arms of an angel fly away from here from this dark cold hotel room and the endlessness that you fear you are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie you're in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort there
so tired of the straight line and everywhere you turn there's vultures and thieves at your back and the storm keeps on twisting you keep on building the lie that you make up for all that you lack it don't make no difference escaping one last time it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
in the arms of an angel fly away from here from this dark cold hotel room and the endlessness that you fear you are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie you're in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort there you're in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort here
Those two songs will put a lump in my throat!
Peace, -TekNut-

there are some more, but other people have already listed them so i wont bother
-------------------- "A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." -Al Einstein

One of the saddest songs I ever heard. I don't listen to GNR much any more but I'll always love this song.
Guns N' Roses -- "Estranged"
When you're talkin to yourself And nobody's home You can fool yourself You came in this world alone (Alone)
So nobody ever told you baby How it was gonna be So what'll happen to you baby Guess we'll have to wait and see
Old at heart but I'm only 28 And I'm much too young To let love break my heart Young at heart but it's getting much too late To find ourselves so far apart
I don't know how you're s'posed To find me lately And what more could you ask from me How could you say that I never needed you When you took everything Said you took everything from me
Young at heart and it gets so hard to wait When no one I know can seem to help me now Old at heart but I musn't hesitate If I'm to find my own way out
Still talkin' to myself and nobody's home (Alone)
So nobody ever told us baby How it was gonna be So what'll happen to us baby Guess we'll have to wait and see
When I find out all the reasons Maybe I'll find another way Find another day With all the changing seasons of my life Maybe I'll get it right next time And now that you've been broken down Got your head out of the clouds You're back down on the ground And you don't talk so loud And you don't walk so proud Any more, and what for
Well I jumped into the river Too many times to make it home I'm out here on my own, and drifting all alone If it doesn't show give it time To read between the lines 'Cause I see the storm getting closer And the waves they get so high Seems everything We've ever known's here Why must it drift away and die
I'll never find anyone to replace you Guess I'll have to make it thru, this time- Oh this time Without you
I knew the storm was getting closer And all my friends said I was high But everything we've ever known's here I never wanted it to die

"and ever since 9/11, Jimi Hendrix doing the Star Spangeled banner.......especially right now."
and to find out why people hate your country so much , do some reading, shit man I love all the worlds people americans to , but you cant shit on the rest of the world for 30 years without anything happening.
I belive in what your country was founded on, and I really am an american patriot, to bad america looks NOTHING like where it began.
Anyway, enough of my blather!!!!!,
HUNGER STRIKE-Temple of the dog Temple of the dog , is a band has members from pearl jam AND soundgarden, that one makes me cry but SO MANY good songs do, but try singing to that one(hunger strike) without crying. I usally cry at least a bit

I got a few. Looks Like Rain by the all mighty GD. Is the ixing on the cake though. I guess I will look up the lyrics for yall. Maybe yall wil just cry reading it. I probably wont cry now because things are all said and done but yull probably get where I am coming from once you read the lyrics. Just reading it isnt enough though for me I got to hear Bobby singing for it to do its magik. I woke today, and felt your side of bed The covers were still warm where you'd been layin' You were gone: my heart was filled with dread You might not be sleeping here again It's all right, 'cause I love you; and that's not gonna change Run me round, make me hurt again and again But I'll still sing you love songs, written in the letters of your name And brave the storm to come, for it surely looks like rain
Did you ever listen to the sound of street cats making love And guess from their cries you were listening to a fight Well you know, hate's just the last thing they're thinking of They're only trying to make it through the night
I only want to hold, I don't want to tie you down Or fence you in the lines I might have drawn It's just that I have gotten used to having you around My landscape would be empty if you were gone
ah sigh sweet memories.

wasted blue's-Beck My Friends-RHCP My friends are so depressed I feel the question Of your loneliness Confide..., 'cause I'll be on your side You know I will, you know I will
X Girlfriend called me up Alone and desperate On the prison phone They want... to give her 7 years For being sad
I love all of you Hurt by the cold So hard and lonely too When you don't know yourself
My friends are so distressed And standing on The brink of emptiness No words... I know of to express This emptiness
Imagine me taught by tragedy Release is peace I heard a little girl And what she said Was something beautiful To give... your love No matter what

Toploader - Only for a while Once upon a time a child heard a line That moved him The child never grew the line it came true And all around Inside dreams it stays Dormant through these days That follow Reminded only by the saddest lullaby That was whispered You've got to lie down for a while This will pass its only mild You've got to ease your mind For a while I know ill never be able to be free From these memories Have love in life the same Embrace it every day That it comes to you You've got to lie down for a while This will pass its only mild You've got to ease your mind You've got to ease your mind for a while Lie down for a while This will pass its only mild You've got to ease your mind for a while Only for a while Only for a while Only for a while Sarah MacLaughlan - Angel also makes me cry..reminds me when my grandmother was close to dying and i was thinking of the song in my head...it was the first time i told her i loved her too

I've never actually cried from listening to a song, but these are a few I like to hear whilst on a bender of angst....
Any Jeff Buckley, but most notably: Forget Her Lover, You Should've Come Over What Will YOu Say (Ive seen already mentioned, but it deserves a second call)
CSNY: Helplessly Hoping
Ryan Adams: When your young (you get sad)
Tons of Bob Dylan: You're a big girl now Dont think twice, its alright ect......
Townes Van Sandt: Dead Flowers
Cat Power: Good Woman I FOund A reason
Coldplay: The Scientist
Nick Drake Niel Young Velvet Underground..... the list could go on and on

The closest would have to be "Mad World" by Tears For Fears. Strictly due to Donnie Darko, that ending hit me like a ton of bricks. The song just fit so perfectly and I could really feel what he was saying. On that note someone might want to start a "movie that made you cry" thread, just a thought. Oh ya, and "Olive Me" and "Starry, Starry Night" by NOFX, I think there both covers but both very good and heartfelt.

I remember hearing this song (particularly the chorus) and immediately breaking down in tears..
Limp Bizkit Rollin'
Alright, partner Keep on rollin' baby You know what time it is
Chocolate Starfish Gonna keep on rollin' baby
Who's in, now who's out Hands up, now hands down Back up, back up Tell me what you gonna do now Breathe in, now breathe out Hands up, now hands down Back up, back up Tell me what you gonna do now Keep rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin' Keep rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin' Keep rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin' Keep rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin'
Now I know ya'll be lovin' this sh*t right here L. I. M. P. Bizkit is right here People in the house put them hands in the air 'Cause if you don't care, then we don't care 1.. 2.. 3.. times 2 to the 6 Jonesin' for your fix 'cause the Limp Bizkit mix So where the f*ck you at? Punk shut the f*ck up And back the f*ck up Before we f*ck this track up
etc etc
Tears of laughter of course! muah
1.. 2.. 3.. times 2 to the 6 Jonesin' for your fix 'cause the Limp Bizkit mix
Pure Lyrical genius.. reminds me of rocky's poem in one of the rocky movies. Shoe, Poo, Loo, Moo.. etc. etc.

We chase misprinted lies We face the path of time And yet I fight And yet I fight This battle all alone No one to cry to No place to call home

My gift of self is raped My privacy is raked And yet I find And yet I find Repeating in my head If I can't be my own I'd feel better dead
Oooh...Oooh... Oooh...Oooh...
And the lyrics aren't half of it. Layne's delivery and the haunting music..........

The song on the very end of a Stone Temple Pilots album (can't remember which) 12 Gracious Melodies. Alot of people miss that one cause it's played several minutes after the last song ends. Don't know why that makes me sad?

The only song that ever made me cry was aesop rocks 1 of 4. He made it for the friends who saved his life when he was suicidal.
"My name is Ian Mathias Bavitz I was born in 1-9-7-6, at Biosfet hospital, located in Long Island, NY I am 6 foot, for I weigh 2-0-0 pounds I have brown hair and green eyes I enjoy writing songs, painting, movies and diner food I have two brothers, Chris and Graham and two parents, Paul and Jameija In august of 2-0-0-1 I went crazy..
This was originally not for public consumption This was made for four people... four people that literally saved my life They know who they are.. And ahhh I mean I could live to be a thousand years old and never re-pay them I don't think this song would pay for them But hopefully by putting it out, push the bank a little further..
This ain't a burner for the whips (no it isn't) This ain't even Aesop Rock fly earthworm demeanor (no it isn't) My name is Ian Mathias Bavitz and I was born in Long Island, New York Seventy Six, before Graham and after Chris... OK In August of 2001 my seemingly splinter-proof brain bone, scaffling imploded I kept it on the hush, but nearly tumbling to the cold hard concrete on near bodega trips for ciggaretes and soda, shook me to kasper Dizzy with a nothern chaser, motor sensory eraser Gorophobe tunnel vision, guilt, self loathing arrangements Rose rapidly outta fog I'd never fished in that abates three separate foreign men's While I seems to hook lines and syncro simple fishing Simple primitive self taught, easing of soul, mind and body but the symptoms rejected my cave-man modus operandi So now it's one fish belly up, through medicated mol edge Shrinks that get 250 an hour for awkward silence And, I'd be lying if I said all of this made even the slightest fragment of sense to me That's frail... Simply put I don't know what happened, or what's stillhappening I literally feel like I'm teetering on the blunt edge of my sanity JAMIE, I killed the robots and I'm sorry Broke down in front of you, embarrassed but you lent a heart and hand that only you could you're one of my best friends and yes I'd take that bullet for you That's my word, which is about all I have left TONY, I know you know you crazy, 'cause you told me but that did never bother you, I hold you as my brother 'til death And I got your back if ever the drunk goblin step for makin' a cat laugh, when I was walking with the dead KATHERINE, mother figure, older sister, concerned be a limits Letting me know I wasn't the only one with this Continuous offers for vacation, Chicago visits Talked me to repair of a head full of broken pistons RIYAH, for the late night movie rentals and the company I needed An' you knew it, but I just wouldn't admit it You listened to me brag about my issues for hours Offer incredible advice, gave me a hug when I was finished Am I a jack of all trades? Nope... I like to write songs tho' Are they good? I dunno.. But I could tell you that I only write shit down when I believe it So take this how you want, but know I mean it I want you all to know that I'm scared Now my fuckin' crooked soul never faced a monster like the last few months Never in my whole life... I wish I could explain this better (I can't) But the pieces won't formulate it to anything even close to cohesive So I guess this is my feeble way to thank you Four soldiers that extended something sacred off the purity of kindness I owe you all my life and please don't argue with that statement 'Cause without y'all I may not have a life to offer, take it
Thank you I wish I could explain this better. (Thank you) I'm sorry for burdening your pleasures. (Thank you) I love you all with all that's left of me. (Thank you) For helping try to kill what made a mess of me. (Thank you) Somehow, someway. (Thank you) I'ma get you back someday. (Thank you) Just gotta figure this all out... So..
I guess it is kind of funny when you look headed from a step back How one man can literally buckle under the same pressures Other men operate normally under I have soaked this out from all angles, walking through time I have been over everything in my head, still I can't think anymore But I guess some times, when you can't breathe, there are people there to breathe for you I am lucky enough to have those people around me Thank you for helping me to not die Thank you for helping me to not die
Pocket full of pennies, and a soul gone tilt Cockpit full of memories and a dream full of guilt"

Addagio for Strings (theme for Platton, Elephant Man, and Crash)
Tool songs: H, Jimmy, Parabol/Parabola, Reflection, Flood, 4 Degrees, etc. etc. etc.
Weezer's Say it Aint so and a lot on Pinkerton
Cannibal Corpse's "Entrails Ripped from a Virgin's Cunt"
and many, many, more

As soon as I read the title of this thready, one song came to mind in particular. I'll save it for last. Here's a couple others.
Immortal Technique - Dancin with the Devil
Smashing Pumpkins - Disarm
The Mars Volta - Televators
Almost any DJ Tiesto set can bring me to tears at some point
And the one that I can't listen to without actually crying:
Across Five Aprils - A Year From Now
Complete and total adoration, My gift to you, my heart was yours. In ten weeks you shaped it, In one night you murdered it. Torn from my chest and laid at your feet, That first step that you took was the worst. Since then you've walked a thousand miles in silence and short remark, And I still have these memories, But we'll never see what we could have been. Remember when we talked about where we'd be a year from now? Remember when you held my hand like you'd never let it go? Remember. cause that's all you can do. We'll never make another memory, We'll never make another memory. I wish I'd have died in your arms the last time we were together, So I wouldn't have to wake without you today. This time I thought things were real. You said they were. What happened? You were a priority, Was I an option? I let you see a side of me that I don't share with anyone. Promises are just words unless they are fulfilled. you knew from the beginning all I had to offer you was my heart, I'm sorry that wasn't enough. So, we'll go our own ways, And hopefully you'll remember the things I've told you, Hopefully you'll understand that everything I said was in sincerity. A broken heart is not what I wanted from this, But I guess I've learned from it. But aren't you supposed to learn from your mistakes? I don't consider this a mistake, I just wish the story didn't end this way, Cause I'm still in love with the person who helped me write it. Remember when you held my hand like you'd never let it go? Remember when we talked about where we'd be a year from now?
Anybody who reads this, please download that song, listen to it, and tell me you didn't cry..

Labradford's "V"
Destroyer's "European Oils"
The Microphone's "Glow Pt. 2"
Aesop Rock's "Bent Life"
Most of Modest Mouse's first three album's get to me.
Radiohead's "How to Dissapear Completely"
Sufjan's "Tallest Man"
-------------------- History says, Don't hope On this side of the grave. But then, once in a lifetime The longed-for tidal wave Of justice can rise up And hope and history rhyme.

I don't think there are any songs that make me flat out cry, but 2 that really tug at my heartstrings are:
"A Wash" by Safety Scissors
and
"Don't You (Forget About Me)" by Simple Minds
Beautiful songs.

i've cried to a whole lotta songs i have to say... but only these two i remember as one's i can NOT listen to without shedding a couple of tears (ever since i was a small boy)
"famouse blue rain coat" by leonard cohen
Its four in the morning, the end of december Im writing you now just to see if youre better New york is cold, but I like where Im living Theres music on clinton street all through the evening.
I hear that youre building your little house deep in the desert Youre living for nothing now, I hope youre keeping some kind of record.
Yes, and jane came by with a lock of your hair She said that you gave it to her That night that you planned to go clear Did you ever go clear?
Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder Youd been to the station to meet every train And you came home without lili marlene
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life And when she came back she was nobodys wife.
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth One more thin gypsy thief Well I see janes awake --
She sends her regards. And what can I tell you my brother, my killer What can I possibly say? I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you Im glad you stood in my way.
If you ever come by here, for jane or for me Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.
Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes I thought it was there for good so I never tried.
And jane came by with a lock of your hair She said that you gave it to her That night that you planned to go clear
-- sincerely, l. cohen
and Sinead O'connor "Nothing Compares To You" (watching her cry on the video simply imprinted that reaction on me )
don mcklean's "vincent" is also one i always feel like crying to...

Definitely A Perfect Day by Velvet Underground, and anyone that says In the Arms of the Angel by Sara McLachlan doesn't at least make them a lil emotional is a liar!!

songs by Ani DiFranco sometimes have a tendency to make some tears swell up in my eyes. I don't remember which ones... many, in any case.

a lot of songs man.
i have a reggae station here, and they play a lot of good vibe music about happiness, and i get kinda teary hearing and thinking how nice it would be for peace for all mankind, and unification, and constant happiness, and closeness to God.
a few of them lately i cant relate to, but make me teary. like ones about destruction of land, and culture.

John Paul White – Hate the Way You Love Me Lyrics
Well I hate the way you see me Like a man that can't be fixed Like a fool fooling all but you Who he really is And I hate the way you hold me Nervous as a cat Like I might get the big idea You'd forgive me just like that I wouldn't have it any other way Heaven knows a sinner needs a saint Oh but when I've been at my most ugly I hate the way you love me You're a hard woman to live with I could never fill those shoes An example for our children I could never live up to And I hate myself for staying Where I should and should not be With someone I know I don't deserve And doesn't deserve me I wouldn't have it any other way Heaven knows a sinner needs a saint Oh but when I've been at my most ugly I hate the way you love me I wouldn't have it any other way Heaven knows a sinner needs a saint And I love you're everything I ain't Yes I hate the way you love me
This song get's me because i've found my soul mate but it hasn't been a perfect fantasy but as the song states i wouldn't have it any other way. these are tears of happiness.

like you said goodbye for the last time and didn't know it
like someone you loved of all the billions passed and you find out years later they died
like when you see why you failed/succeeded at the same time
love love love
