Henry Spencer 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2004 I don't get choked up easily, but here are the songs that bring me close. John Lennon - Mother REM - Everybody Hurts Marvin Gaye - What's Going On The Beatles - Here Comes The Sun (this one more for personal reasons) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Baron 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2004 The only song that really that comes close in breaking me out is Adam Song by Blink 182, but it does more for personal reasons than the actual song itself. And The Music of the Night from The Phantom of the Opera Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest BrokenWings Report post Posted March 23, 2004 While I'm not American, the version of 'The Long Road' by Pearl Jam I've got, the intro with a reporter on 9/11 who breaks down on the air always gives me chills and a tear to my eye.

B. Brian Brunzell 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2004 Joe Strummer's version of Marley's "Redemption Song" makes me well-up when I hear it. Joe never had the greatest voice as far as pure singing goes, but GOD DAMN he does a perfect version. Knowing how Strummer and the rest of The Clash were influenced by Reggae and that he and Marley were gone too soon, it gets to me even more. Give it a listen. You'll love it.

Yeah, in one of our last conversations, my ex girlfriend told me to listen to that. Luckily I read the lyrics first, and now I avoid it whenever possible. Other tear jerkers for me include "Heart Of The Matter"-Don Henley "If You're Gone"-Matchbox Twenty "I Try"-Macy Gray Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Report post Posted March 24, 2004 Pool Shark Sublime Strummers version of Redemption Song is much more powerful with Cash on it. No tears though.

The Amazing Rando 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2004 I love Banky majorly for listing Sublime....especially Pool Shark... it hits me hard, especially the acoustic version. Another one is "Angel's Son" by Sevendust... ESPECIALLY the video... I have broken down a few times watching that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Myxamatosis 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2004 "Let Down" by Radiohead. The lyrics themselves don't insight emotions as much as the melody of the song. The song builds and builds to this vocal peak and one cannot help to be moved. Try it sometime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpikeFayeJettEdBebop 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2004 Karma Police hits me harder than Let Down does....Just thought I would say so. Also, "You Won't Be Mine" and "Rest Stop" by Matchbox 20 have actually hit me pretty hard, not to the point of tears. "I Miss You" by Blink 182(Yeah......) actually had me crying, but not for the song, it was more the night of a breakup which i wasnt expecting, and it hit me hard, and yeah, the song just sorta got me there I guess.

B. Brian Brunzell 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2004 I also can't listen to "Oh Danny Boy" anymore. When I was a kid, I loved the song, then my grandfather died. The day he was buried, it wsa cold, rainy and foggy. Before we put him in the ground, we could hear bagpipes in the distance. Slowly, a man wearing a kilt and Tam O'Shanter could be seeing walking towards the family through the fog playing "Oh Danny Boy" on the 'pipes. It was so surreal, knowing my family's love for the song (Grandpap used to sing it all the time), and here we were burying him listening to perhaps his favourite song.

caboose 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2004 'Be Quiet & Drive (Far Away)' by The Deftones, it's just achingly painful for me due to my past...

Masked Man of Mystery 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2004 "Dance With My Father" by Luther Vandross My parents aren't dead, but thinking about the idea does make me cry. I actually had to turn away from a costumer once when I was working because that song came on and I had to wipe away my tears. It might have something to do with me seeing my parnets in a casket in my head when my school(I went to a Catholic school) made my class go to a funeral for a janitor of the school or something, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
