      @JerodParker:

      Oh, I love Adam Levine's Lost Stars but Kiera's version gets me down, haha.  I guess it's the singers context.

      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.

                            Sugarland's Stay is very emotional - especially when watching the simple music video too.  And also Faith Hill's There You'll Be, but mostly due to its significance to a life event

                              I was born just beyond the American Economic Depression, so didn't feel the intensity of the tragedy, but lived with the fall out.

                              Here's a quick timeline of that era: 
                              http://www.hyperhistory.com/online_n2/connections_n2/great_depression.html

                              So, i have a very emotional-crying reaction to this song: Brother,  can you spare a dime.

                                Nocturne “Live” (1995) Secret Garden

                                I loved this the first time I heard the studio recording years ago and this was my first time hearing the “live” version.

                                Usually liking the studio stuff over the live, this live recording was a pleasant surprise in that I liked it as much, if not more than the studio one.

                                That violin…is…um…well, it’s just something–definitely moving. 😞

                                “Live” performance…

                                Youtube Video

                                Music video (kind of cheesy, but probably didn’t seem as much when it first came out over 20 years ago)…

                                  Ellis' song, "Nocturn" reminded me of a totally different, but equally beautiful piece by Yanni, "Nightingale" as offered here:

                                    From the cheer up song thread, Katy Perry's Teenage Dream makes me sad but not cry.  It's more lost time.

                                    The first song from the Last Unicorn movie was so beautifully illustrated, it made me tear up too.  Sung my America?

                                      The title sequence from The Last Unicorn makes me cry, too. 😢 And, yes, it was composed by Jimmy Webb and sung by the band, America. That whole soundtrack is probably the only reason I ever managed to develop an appreciation for the band, haha.

                                      On the topic of soundtracks, Art Garfunkel's song, Bright Eyes (from Watership Down) completely destroys me. That whole movie just depresses the hell out of me. The last time I watched it, I was despondent for weeks.

                                        The traditional Welsh lullaby - Suo Gân. Eversince I heard it in the movie, Empire of the Sun, it always bring tears to my eyes

                                            Stone sour : zzyzx
                                            I don't know how else to put this.
                                            It's taken me so long to do this.
                                            I'm falling asleep and I can't see straight.
                                            My muscles feel like a melee,
                                            My body's curled in a U-shape.
                                            I put on my best, but I'm still afraid.
                                            Propped up by lies and promises.
                                            Saving my place as life forgets.
                                            Maybe it's time I saw the world.
                                            I'm only here for a while.
                                            And patience is not my style,
                                            And I'm so tired that I got to go.
                                            What am I supposed to hide now?
                                            What am I supposed to do?
                                            Did you really think I wouldn't see this through?
                                            Tell me I should stick around for you.
                                            Tell me I can have it all.
                                            I'm still too tired to care and I got to go.
                                            I'm following suit and directions.
                                            I crawl up inside for protection.
                                            I'm told what to do and I don't know why.
                                            I'm over existing in limbo
                                            I'm over the myths and placebos
                                            I don't really mind if I just fade away
                                            I'm ready to live with my family.
                                            I'm ready to die in obscurity
                                            Cause I'm so tired that I got to go.
                                            Where am I supposed to hide now?
                                            What am I supposed to do?
                                            You still don't think I'm gonna see this through?
                                            Tell me I'm a part of history.
                                            Tell me I can have it all.
                                            I'm still too tired to care and I got to go.

                                            Staind: something to remind you
                                            _So this is it
                                            I say goodbye
                                            To this chapter of my ever-changing life
                                            And there's mistakes
                                            The path is long
                                            And I'm sure I'll answer for them when I'm gone

                                            So when the day comes in
                                            The sun won't touch my face
                                            Tell the ones who cared enough
                                            That I finally left this place

                                            Its been so cold
                                            Look at my face
                                            All the stories it will tell I can't erase
                                            The road is long
                                            Just one more song
                                            A little something to remind you when I'm gone
                                            When I'm gone

                                            The road to hell
                                            Along the way
                                            Is paved with good intentions so they say
                                            And some believe
                                            That no good deed
                                            That go unpunished in the end or so it seems

                                            So this is it
                                            I say goodbye
                                            To this chapter of my ever-changing life
                                            And there's mistakes
                                            The path was long
                                            And I'm sure I'll answer for them when I'm gone
                                            When I'm gone_

                                            Jason Walker : there shouldn't be a good in goodbye.

                                            _After the silence, after the last words.
                                            Caught in the silence. Caught in between.
                                            After the madness. After the slow shock.
                                            Before the wave hits, the flood comes rushing in.

                                            This is the bad before the worse.
                                            This is the storm before the storm
                                            I haven't even hit the bottom of this ocean floor.
                                            This is the bend before the break.
                                            This is the mercy not the grace.
                                            This is the proof and not the faith i try to find.
                                            There shouldn't be a good in goodbye.

                                            If I never loved you, if I never felt your kiss.
                                            If I never had you. I know that I…I still would have mourned you.
                                            I would have missed your smile.
                                            If it wasn't so worth it, this wouldn't be...
                                            Oh this wouldn't be the bad before the worse and the storm before the storm.

                                            I haven't even hit the bottom of this ocean floor.
                                            This is the bend before the break.
                                            This is the mercy not the grace.
                                            This is the proof and not the faith I try to find.
                                            There shouldn't be a good in goodbye.

                                            I know this is gonna get better ohh.

                                            This is the bitter not the sweet.
                                            This is the take and not the keep.
                                            And I haven't even reached the bottom of this ocean floor.

                                            There shouldn't be a good in goodbye._
