Neither of them would instantly turn me from happy to sad, though.

Has to be one of the most powerful songs about.
If you think about the words too much, you start to feel the horror and fear of it all.

Another one powerful one (for me):

First time I heard it, i just was floored!

Easily this one. Pretty much any version of it sets me off, but particularly the orchestra version (second vid).

Couldn't find an original artist recording, but this is a very good cover of In Dreams from the first LOTR movie:

Samuel Barber's adagio w/chorus.

didnt bring me to tears. But a very sad one. Luke's last performance, the night visiting song.

I should have made that clear: no Emo shit please. I'm talking about music.

I ain't gonna take you seriously if you think Johnny Cash is 'emo shít'.

Think it's more concerning that he doesn't think Johnny Cash is music.

Yes, lots; but the one I remember most is when my dog had died, I drove him home from the vets to be buried and John Creedon was playing Kate McGarrigle's "Go, Leave".

I know it's a love song, but it resonated with me. The line where she sings "and here they come, here come my tears" still get me.... damn you OP your thread makes me sad.

This song came on my ipod in the car just after putting my cat of 14 years to sleep in the vets yesterday

welled up like a baby!

Any piece of music with piano that sounds out of key brings me to tears. This one ALWAYS does without fail....

This song is guaranteed to get you emotional .Listen to the whole song !

For those not familar with this album, the whole album is the story of a guy drifting apart from his friends, one of the contributing factors being a large sum of money (to the the protagonist) going missing from a room with those friends in it.

I just like the way he gets his sh*t together in the end.

I guess you've watched Six Feet Under.

This song always gets me as it reminds me of painful times.

Listening to the Paul Oakenfold album "The Goa Mix 2011" at the moment, I tend to well up a bit at stages because of its brilliance.

Also I remember watching Ireland lose to Spain on penalties in the WC 2002, After the game RTE played the song 'My weakness is none of you business' by Embrace....was close bawling like a baby, below in a pub in Limerick:o
