Sufjan Stevens Vs. My Tearducts
The Eyeball Kid:
When my grandfaher died i wanted the radio station i volunteer at to play something but the only thing i could think of was 'Chicago', which was overplayed but they played it anyway.
So i played it for my mom and she heard it for the first time and cried.
Yeah.
He's like that
The Eyeball Kid:
Also when I listen to Van Morrison's 'Astral Weeks' album I can sometimes get to the second song without crying.
If i'm lucky
Praeserpium Machinarum:
--- Quote ---You mean the song that's at least partly about breast cancer?
"My lady story is one of breat annihilation/my lady story is one of breast amputation"
LOL

Great, now they are all mope. Damn.
If we are talking about sad songs nothing beats Low - listen to (That's How You Sing) Amazing Grace and tell me that is not the saddest song ever.
But generally I do not weep to songs(or anything really, I rarely have a good cry). However the first couple of times I listened to The Arcade Fire - In the Backseat I could feel I was choking up. It doesn't have anything to do with the lyrics(though they are sad enough) but the overt emotion in her voice, especially at the end. In my experience it has a lot to do with your general mental state ie. when you are down and out you are more likely to cry when you hear a certain song.

Great i didn't know the Antony song went like that, now it's not half as beautiful as before. Sucky sucky sucky. Btw Prae Mech i agree, very much. If i'm happy i don't cry over Casimir Pulaski Day, i mean it takes more than a song to bring me down. But maybe that's just me.
Kite Flying Society - Breathe (they cry, scream, yell, whelps and whispers as if they were running away from the ancient ones)

Risking any shred of indie cred, I have to say Maggie May by Rod Stewart. Does the trick every time.
