Sufjan Stevens Vs. My Tearducts
TrueNeutral:
I lost it during:
Eels - It's A Motherfucker (when I realized it was about how empty it was when you lose your family. I thought it was about a girl leaving him)
Songs that make me really said and teary-eyed:
Pearl Jam - Footsteps
Modest Mouse - The Cold Part
Back when I was a depressed teenager, I would cry whenever I heard:
Dashboard Confessional - This Old Wound
Staind - Epiphany
From Autumn To Ashes - Autumn's Monologue
Evanescence - Hello
KoRn - Daddy (mostly because Davis sounds so goddamn distraught throughout this song, plus the subject matter, makes me believe it's probably true)

Ok, you stole my crying song, what the hell?
I am known to cry to song though, here are some specifics:
-Ryan Adams - half the songs of Heartbreaker
-Cat Power - Names/I Don't Blame You
-Death Cab For Cutie - Tiny Vessels
-some Jenny Lewis songs just because of her voice
-Jets To Brazil - Further North, Lucky Charm, Sea Anemone (they're the -winners of making me cry)
-Martha Wainwright - Who Was I Kidding
-Sufjan on numerous occasions
-The Cure
-fucking BRIGHT EYES - Lua (I hate Bright Eyes so much, this was like a defeat)

...as for sad songs, the saddest I can think of is "The Testimony of Patience Kershaw" by some bloke called Frank Higgins. I know it via its recording by a lovely English folk singer named Elle (pronounced "Ellie") Osborne...

Been listening to this song all day, and it's definatley more depressing than Casimir Pulaski Day by miles.
Edit: I just listen to Romulus (by Sufjan) and it really struck a chord with me. I've not been this close to crying in a long, long time.

I like Bright Eyes. And they make me sad sometimes. "Bowl Of Oranges" especially.
KharBevNor:
There's this subset of post-industrial type songs about the fact that the human race is doomed by its own nature that should really make me cry if I think about it. They're often too badass though. The best are 'C'est un Reve' by Death in June, in which Douglas P shouts out in French 'Where is Klaus Barbie' to answer himself 'In the Heart, in the black heart', finally capping it off by stating with immense finality 'Liberty is a dream', and 'Reign I Forever' by Blood Axis, which is basically just Thor laughing at humanity because war and hatred will rule forever.
