Songs That Make You Cry

Recommended Posts

?

I'm listening to one right now. [:/]

No details, it's kinda personal...but what songs make you cry/feel some strong emotions?

Another one is 'Calling All Angels'...I don't know why but it hits me in the heart.

Strange as it may sound, "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor gets a tear welling up in my eye. A friend of mine named Tony died while I was in high school and that was deemed his song since we all called him "Tony the Tiger." Hence the Tony the Tiger on my back. (See pic)
Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.

I like the way you think. "Tell me something personal about you that I'm not willing to answer myself." Brilliant!



Fuck you sky monkeys, I don't need to be revealin' shit! :D

I did say that the song 'Calling All Angels' gets me all weepy.

So WTF? Are you gonna answer or what?? :ph34r:


Edit to add: no I didn't click on your bullshit link. Again. :|

Any Irish folk music makes me emotional--it reminds me of my late Grandfather (100% Irish), who I miss terribly. I was promoted to Captain the day after he died.

Didn't cry at the funeral, but 8 Months later at the Luxor Casino's irish pub, a folk band brought me to tears, and I finally accepted the fact that he was gone, and was able to finally mourn.
Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

I'm always touched by that tender love ballad, "Ina-Gadda-Da-Vida". Brings back memories. Sometimes I get weepy listening to "Smoke on the Water", especially when the Leslie's kick in. (Hmmm......I haven't bought an album in a long time. I wonder where the nearest record shop is?)

album: "Reign In Blood" (1986) Slayer

Raining Blood

Trapped in purgatory
A lifeless object, alive
Awaiting reprisal
Death will be their acquisition

The sky is turning red
Return to power draws near
Fall into me, the sky's crimson tears
Abolish the rules made of stone

Pierced from below, souls of my treacherous past
Betrayed by many, now ornaments dripping above

Awaiting the hour of reprisal
Your time slips away

Raining blood
From a lacerated sky
Bleeding its horror
Creating my structure
Now I shall reign in blood!

Go Rest High On that Mountain by Vince Gill. He perfomed it live at the Whitehouse last year when i was there for my sister's memorial service. He wrote it in honor of his brother that died and for him to sing it live in honor of the fallen police officers was amazing.

Amazing Grace on the bagpipes gets to me too. My sister's funeral was quite the spectacle, but she deserved it. The procession was 2 miles long and included 250 police motorcycles, and around 300 squad cars in addition to the freinds/family. Walking to the gravesite while all the officers stood in salute as her casket draped with an American flag went by. I can still hear those bagpipes like it was yesterday.

Eegad. Yeah. It makes me sad just reading that. :(:(:(

You are a strong one, Sunny Sunshine. I like you for that. :)

Though it's over-played nowadays to the point of being cliched...

The first time I ever heard Barber's "Adagio for Strings" it was played by a college orchestra in mourning for the sudden loss of their beloved director...and that performance stands out in my mind as the most emotional piece of music I have ever heard. No recording I have ever come across can compare, but the memory still gets me a little misty eyed.

Tears in Heaven...Star Spangled Banner...Amazing Grace...

Yeah, me too. :)

I just had one of those weird flashbacks to such a painful moment when this song came on the radio and it sucked...but in a weird way, it felt kinda good, too? That doesn't make a damn bit of sense...:S
