      Most of them are just instrumental (or classical), but those are the ones that really kick me hard:

      1. Ludovico Einaudi - Experience: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hN_q-_nGv4U

      2. André Rieu - And The Waltz Goes On (composed by: Anthony Hopkins): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M57Fi19vcSI

      3. Dmitri Shostakovich - Waltz No. 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmCnQDUSO4I

      4. Kodaline - All I Want: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6BwAWiHcSg

      5. Keira Knightley - Lost Stars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECW_qfrhiw8

          I know that I've recently posted the song in another thread, but this Current 93 song typically does the trick for me: The Bloodbells Chime

          A few of them do, in fact:
          The Cat Is Dead
          All the World Makes Great Blood
          Spring Sand Dreamt Larks
          They Returned to Their Earth (For My Christ Thorn)
          Sleep Has His House
          Imperium V

          Oddly enough, so does this Dead Kennedys song.
          Well, it doesn't so much make me cry as much as it makes me feel very moody and despondent. Certainly close enough to crying without actually getting there. That and Lost by Jerry's Kids are most appropriate at those times where I feel wasted and suicidal and irreconcilably chained to my own grimy, isolated, pointless, dead-end, post-modern existence, and to the filth and darkness and despair of the world at large. 🙂

            On top of the list for me would definitely be Defying Gravity by Chris Colfer. It's a song from the musical Wicked but Chris Colfer sang it in Glee.
            No matter what mood I'm in, the song instantly makes me tear up and cry when it reaches the first chorus. God I love that song!!

            Another would be Troye Sivan's Talk Me Down. That song along with the Blue Neighbourhood video trilogy is just so heartbreaking and emotional  :blownose: :love: :blownose:

                      I'm tempted to look up all the songs listed but I'm afraid i'd get too emotional and choke up.

                      Just adding that after I saw a fan video of Sugababes Too Lost In You featuring the maker mashing up scenes from Brokeback Mountain, I just have to hold back tears.

                      Oh, I love Adam Levine's Lost Stars but Kiera's version gets me down, haha.  I guess it's the singers context.  Lauper's True Colors was in the recent Trolls movie and that was pretty good.

                        Well, that's the reason I like more the version of Keira: it's more honest and relatable. The version of Adam is just another random pop song that people hear to dance and “feel happy”, when you should try to pay attention to the lyrics instead…

                          a decent amount of Blue October songs (my fav band)

                          not sure if any other song has had quite an impact like
                          Nothingman by Pearl Jam

                                I can't pick a particular song that made me cry, its depends on my mood. For instance, I remembered when I listened to Adele's Someone Like You, I wept because at the time the man that I liked chose other over me, but now I listens to that song and just fine with it.

                                At the moment, song that makes me cry is Mariah Carey - All I Ever Wanted

                                  say something- a great big world ft christina aguilera, masterpiece! deep but not overromantic, like other songs. Simple and touching at the same time!

                                      I just remembered one recently: The Gravy Train - St. George's Way
                                      I cried listening to this not long after my dad died last year. That was the only time I've ever actually cried over his passing. I didn't feel the lyrics necessarily reflected the event, but they are very existential, and they remind(ed) me of how fleeting everything is, and how much time has already been lost.

                                        Dance me to the end of love. I first heard it covered by The Civil Wars. Then I listened to the original version by Leonard Cohen. Both are great, very moving and make me emotional..

                                          Based just on the song by itself–not considering anything with an associated factor such as a film, or particular event or moment--there are some pieces by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir that immediately come to mind.

                                          They may not always bring the tears, but they always bring heavy sighs and goose bumps. 😞

                                          Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing definitely is by far my favorite, and as mentioned in other forum posts–I never get tired of it, and hearing it always has me sighing at least a couple of times as it plays, and always a big one as the orchestra is building up and those violins start taking off…sigh, and then–the chorus returns…mm! (In spite of being partial, I have to admit–I do love Brigham Young University’s presentation as well!)…

                                            Better known for their fast tracks, this song by Erasure really packs a punch because of the lyrics.

                                            Erasure: When I Needed You
                                            Youtube Video

                                            Another is this song, for when you ever have a loved one who has to leave.

                                            Chantal Kreviazuk: Leaving On A Jet Plane
                                            Youtube Video

                                            Tell someone you love them today, because life is short.
                                            But shout it at them in German, because life is also terrifying and confusing.
