Songs that have made you cry
Jed:
Hiroshima-Nagasaki Requiem and China Gets The Bomb. Composed by William Stromberg and played by the Moscow Symphony Orchestra.
They are just so overwhelming. You can hear them in the movie Trinity and beyond: The atomic bomb movie.

indeed,
It's also more or less accurate.
accept she uses terms like "pansexual" and "asexual"... both of which dont really seem to apply to her... actually I'm pretty sure the first one doesn't even qualify as a word...
who am i talking about? the lady in my avatar... she's still pretty awesome.
...
I havent just derailed this thread... I think must have hucked it in to space or something....
so..
Cure My tragedy-COLD... (I dont have to capitalize that one... but it is often on albums)
its about his sister, dying of cancer... say what you want about the bands skill levels... but scooter knows how to make everyone as sad as he is!

So I was watching The Gaslight Anthem on YouTube and decided I wanted to hear them play Angry Johnny And The Radio. Normally this song wouldn't get me very emotional, but, during the quiet part (bridge?) of the song, Brian starts singing What Becomes of the Brokenhearted.
Gets me every time.

So, a friend of mine gave me one of those jump drive blitzkriegs of music, and amongst the high-brow indie rock bands (like there is such a thing) was the Manchester Orchestra album "I'm Like A Virgin Losing A Child". It's one of very few albums that can seem more alive to me than life sometimes.
The final song, "Colly Strings" is the best one on the album, and the way I've interpreted it, it's about the singer's self admission to being gay. He's known it for a while and had already accepted it, though he's a bit world-weary after converting from Christianity and dealing with his dad's death. And the song itself is this really passionately stated love song addressed to a guy he's loved for a while, and the singer's admitting both that he's gay and in love with him. The guy he's singing to, though, is closeted, but to the singer, he's worth flushing his own church-boy image down the toilet.
That song opened up this elaborate image in my mind, and every time I listen to it, I feel his emotions, step by step. It's the first time in my life that I have not only felt gay, but felt like I was in love with this other man's soul. Thus the tears.
"My curly hair and a voting booth,
Confessingly, this is the first time I've loved you,
And God I mean, God I mean it, I hope that I mean it
'Cause like dying young, idols got the best of me,
Well don't stop calling, you're the reason I love losing sleep,"
It might be one of the best songs I've ever listened to.
bahhhhh:
It never made me cry but it was the closest one to. Wet Sand by Red Hot Chili Peppers. For some reason, the way it builds up and then the solo kicks in... ah I don't know. Gives me the goosebumps.
