Songs that have made you cry
edwinalink:
Aesop rock- No regrets.
its a rap song about a Visual artist who lives a simple life, but is really just so damn touching and USEFUL it blows my mind.
a rap artist with something to say?... and its something that matters? refreshing!
Eli:
Brick by Ben Folds. It's about a couple dealing with an abortion and so terribly sad. The Luckiest also makes me tear up because my boyfriend sent it to me the night we started dating and says it describes how he feels about me perfectly.
BRMC's Promise pulls on my heartstrings pretty hard.
Oh, and Jack the Lion - Harvey Danger

I like Aes a lot, and this is one of those rare tracks where his lyrics aren't so esoteric you have to spend weeks deciphering what they mean. It's straightforward, powerful, and just freaking awesome. Can't say that it makes me cry, though...I get more of a pump-the-fist-triumphant feeling when I listen to this one.
EDIT-On topic, for hip-hop songs that make me choke up, see Stepfather Factory by El-P.
Also, basically the last 1/3rd of Sage Francis' "Human the Death Dance" record...Blackout On White Night, Hell of a Year, Waterline, Keep Movin'...all heavy on the eyewater induction.

yeah there arent any real tears here either, but it touches the hell out of me. because I've been drawing and obsessing over all things art since I was 5. so it is just so relateable to me!
and that El-P is fantastic!
Llewellian:
The Version of "Somewhere over the Rainbow" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. Never heard another musican getting so much "feeling" out of a simple Ukulele. And that Man had an angels voice. Too bad he died. His version gets me onion-eyes every time.
