Songs that have made you cry

<< < (12/36) > >>

instrumentals:
Good lord, this year crying was all about Skinny Love by Bon Iver. "I tell my love to wreck it all // cut out all the ropes and let me fall" : oh devastating.

I'm also prone to get a little glassy-eyed during Sigur Ros's Staralfur.

Oh and I totally second whoever wrote A Stone by Okkervil River. Actually most things by Okkervil River could make it onto the list.

Inlander:
"The Testimony of Patience Kershaw", as performed by Elle Osborne. The line after "a lady, sir, oh no not me" is just a killer.

imapiratearg:
"Revelation Big Sur" by Red House Painters.  Especially when the first solo kicks in.  That is a damn beautiful melody.

Zingoleb:
Don McLean's Vincent. Damn my fucking dyslexia, that took forever to type out FUCK IT

I am typing much slower than usual now.

The Highwaymen - Live Forever
The Beatles - Because
Enya - Orinoco Flow (Apparently this and the previous one were both played for me while I was in the womb, so maybe it brought back that sense?)

And almost, Iron & Wine's "Naked As We Came." "Each Coming Night," too.

See also:
"Remember When" - Alan Jackson
"The Background" - Third Eye Blind (not so much cry, but I get chills)
"Neil Gow's Lament For The Death Of His Second Wife" - Neil Gow (Scottish baroque violin player)

The Neil Gow piece is easily the most beautiful piece of music ever written, and I stand firmly by it. If anybody can find a good solo violin version of it, no fucking around, no showoffy bullshit, I would love it if you'd link me the file.
