Another one that can get me a tad weepy; especially when i've had a few.
Amazing song by a genius.

Wires by Athlete always brings me to tears, it was written after the lead singers daughter was born prematurely. My own daughter was premature and the song really encapsulates how i was feeling when she was NICU.

Theres 3 off the top of my head.

Theres also a video of Luke Kellys last performance, that gets to me too, he looks very weak.

Didn't want to be the one to post the obvious but this song does a little something to just about everyone I've heard talk about it

Snow Patrol - "Run" and "Chasing Cars"
Bob Dylan - "Forever Young"
Nina - "99 Red Balloons"
The Cure - "The Lovecats"

All tied up with memories of someone who was taken way before her time.

Mainly because of Luke Kelly's incredible voice and because it's a great tune; suppose a bit of the old patriotism comes into it too.
Apparently, this was the last recording he ever made, as well.

All songs make me cry. I'm just a big softy. I cry when the sun rises, and when the sun sets.

I cry when the washing machine goes into a 3000rpm cycle.

I'm a sensitive guy.

This one has really grown on me over the past few months. Seriously powerful lyrics too.

Tchaikovsky's Piano concerto 1. Reminds me of my first real romantic relationship, the happiness of the times when just seeing each other made our spirits soar, her incredible beauty, and the pain when it all ended.

Every verse is an encapsulated life and death in a few short lines. It's not as well known as McAlpine's Fusileers, but is a beautiful, sad, funny, song.

Not a song, but a beautiful piece of music, one that is integral to the classic gangster film, Once Upon A Time In America.

Always makes me sad for personal reasons.

I defy anyone to think of a sad experience and not feel emotional during Chopin's Nocturne in E Flat Major (you'll know it when you hear it, everyone knows this tune).

Got home one evening after dropping my brother to the airport and some knob had put Chopin on in the living room. He was just gone backpacking, but I bawled my eyes out when I sat down to listen.

Even this thread is making me a little weepy. I'm off to chop some onions!

Warron Zevon - Keep me in your heart for awhile.
He passed away 2 week after the release of this album.

Samich · 05-09-2011 02:01AM

Can't believe these 2 haven't been mentioned. :eek:

yogi beer · 05-09-2011 02:04AM

Beautiful song, really gets to my core, and I really can't put my finger on why it does! I suppose that is one of the reasons I like it so much.

This is another song that cuts deep, In a more nostalgic way I suppose though. I am one for always wanting to keep going and going and to be honest I feel paranoid that I am wasting my youth by not keeping moving, but I feel like I may be missing out on the best bits by not sticking around.

ohhhhhhhh right, I think the amount of albums/gigs they've sold proves they are not.
