has there ever been a song that made you cry?

I feel like a twelve year old admitting this, but Rise Against - Swing Life Away does it to me everytime. It's the portrait of a life I wish I had, and nowhere near what I've actually got.

The Milkman of Human Kindness by Billy Bragg. I only have to think about it and I start crying. It makes me sad because the person I associate it with never felt that way about me.
Billy Braggs lyrics are so simple and to the point. I really like quite a few of his songs.

I'm not sure about crying, but I'll tell you what gives me goosebumps every time, Third Eye by Tool

"Stay and Drown" by Finger Eleven
I don't know why

I'll +1 this - there's a real desperation in the lyrics and melody.

Also, one that sprang to mind that I've almost forgotten is Best I Am by Flaw.

I Will Follow You Into the Dark by Death Cab For Cutie kills me because of this video:



I'm a big sissy.

Motorcycle - As the rush comes

For the love of god I can't imagine why this song made me cry... It's EURO TRANCE...

"I hope your heart runs empty" - Neverending White Lights
"tears in heaven" - eric clapton
"hero" - mariah carey (it was played at a close friends funeral)

Someone Saved my Life Tonight - Elton John

Almost anything by Bright Eyes, or, slightly more embarrassing to admit to, "Hey There Delilah" .. by .. whomever that song is by.

A friend of mine in Australia re-wrote the lyrics to make it "Hey There, Vagina"

She was probably not the only one to do so.

I cried once while listening to "Here in This Diary" by the Ataris. I was in my first year of college and I was having a hard time with growing up stuff, I guess.

I really, really don't like that song anymore.

"Happiness by the Kilowatt" by Alexisonfire - it was a song I'd heard over and over, including once live, and while I liked it a lot, it never struck me on an emotional level. Then one random day, it came on my playlist, and I really listened to the vocals... and the waterworks started.

En mi Viejo San Juan, a old 30s song about my home town, it'sa sad song to start with and then you add the nostalgia it bring upon you and I can't help but to feel homesick. Makes me sad just thinking about it.

Elliott Smith's Between the bars and Joy Division's Isolation are the two only songs that made me cry, and that's something hard to make me cry

Coma Black by Marilyn Manson
Deathblow by Deftones
Broken Record by Scarling
I wont see you tonight by Avenged Sevenfold
Its Over Now by Poem

definately "hear you me" by jimmy eat world. always makes me think of my brother, which is why i never listen to the song around anyone. hard to keep my composure listening to it

No joke...
'Summer of '69' by Bryan Adams. Not only am I not a fan of Bryan Adams but this song is the epitome of 'the best times of your life have past and your dreams are dead' kind of song.
That is fucking depressing.

Trouble in the Fields, but only Sarah Harmer's version. I cry like a baby every time I hear it.

Beck's album Sea Change can do it to me on occasion. No one song, but the entire album can be a lot of melancholy to take in at once.

Someone already said it but Theif by Our Lady Peace, Hate Me by Blue October, and Fix You by Coldplay can all make me cry like a baby if i so much as hear them in passing.

lots and lots of snow patrol...and also foundations by kate nash. stupid break up songs.

It's always been in conjunction with some emotional circumstances but The Wind Cries Mary by Hendix and Set the Fire to the Third Bar by Snow Patrol always get me.

This song 'Heavens above' by DJ Hixxy reminds me of my friend who passed away last year.... Last night I spent with her was at a rave and that song is about death and all that, it came on at work and I had to change it because I started crying. :'(

Lord I'm Discouraged, by The Hold Steady. But only once, and under the spell of valium.

"This guy from the Northside he comes down to visit, his visits they only take five or six minutes."

Craig Finn is a genius.
