Old Man , by Neil Young
Feeling Yourself Disintegrate, by The Flaming Lips
(the "halleluya" song from Trigun soundtrack, where Wolfwood is in the chapel...)
Carry Me Down, by Demon Hunter
I Hung my Head, (sting cover) by Johnny Cash
"Cat's in the Cradle" by Harry Chapin
(Although I've been told that this song gets pretty much EVERY guy)
Almost any song about World War One (I have no idea why. WW2 doesn't get to me much, but I fall apart when ever I hear music about, or read anything about the Great War). Specifically, but not limited too, "Waltzing Matilda" by the Pogues and "The Green Fields of Frace".
Just thinkign about the last one gives me shivers ...
Hurt - Both the NIN and Johnny Cash versions
Into My Arms - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds ... The second verse is as far as I can get without shedding a tear.
Dont ask me why, but Underneath the Weeping Willow by Grandaddy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYeNZkqCWHw) always chokes me up. It's something in the way J. Lytle sings "To wake / and be happy / again" at the end. Gorgeous.
Portishead - Wandering Star.
Radiohead - True Love Waits.
Jeff Buckley - Lover You Should Have Come Over.
Most recently and weirdly, Maria - Rage Against the Machine.
Down in a Hole by Alice in Chains, combined with reading about the last days of Layne Staley's life, his consuming drug addiction, and the soul crushing effect his death had on his family, friends, and fans recently made me blubber like a little child.
Ben Howard - Keep your head up
Foals - Spanish Sahara
Coldplay - I Ran Away
Fink - Foot in the door
Beyonce - Resentment
Little Dragon - Twice
2nd chapter of acts - Psalm 61
Cinematic Orchestra - To build a home
Troels Abrahamsen - Switch it off
Of course I don't burst into tears every time I hear these, but they have made me cry at least once.
