Songs that have made you cry
audiostudent:
David Bowie - "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide" - Bowie desperately screaming "You're not alone" at the end always gets me
XTC - "I Can't Own Her" - The "swirling sky" refrains, where the strings come up has been making me tear up lately
Granddaddy - "Underneath the Weeping Willow"
That's just the last month or so, though...what songs make me cry change all the time. Sometimes I need something packed with lyrical meaning and intensity, sometimes I just need the right timbre at the right moment of a song.

And i don't even want to be a woman.
--- End quote ---
"Another World" is even more delicately tragic.
spoon_of_grimbo:
"Skyway" by The Replacements.
specifically the last verse:
--- Code: ---Oh, then one day, I saw you walkin' down that little one-way
Where, the place I'd catch my ride most everyday
There wasn't a damn thing I could do or say
Up in the skyway...
--- End code ---
kinda seems like a metaphor for needing to tell someone something important (you love them etc.) and leaving it too late. i was that in that situation, and i heard that song... hit me pretty hard.
fish across face:
Hello Earth by Kate Bush is the only song that's made me cry, although when my cousin's husband died of cancer aged 25 I used to find Naked As We Came brought on a bit of the onion-eyes.

Perthshire Majesty by Samuel Hazo.
It's beautiful, we performed it in concert band and I was grateful my instrument had a minor part so I could just listen.
