Songs that have made you cry
pamplemousse:
"The Only Moment We Were Alone" by Explosions in the Sky makes me replay every "so close, yet so far!" moment in my mind. I've cried several times while listening to it.
AngelofShadows:
Angels Son by Sevendust gets me to tear up when I listen to it.
And, while it doesn't any more, Forever by Papa roach. It came on when I was on my way home from work after my ex left and it just summed up everything I felt at that moment. I didn't want to hear anything remotely ballad like that day.
That's all I fucking heard at work. There was a song right before I left that was titled her name (which I don't want to mention) and I had to cover my mouth to muffle my scream.
That day sucked.
boneykingofnowhere:
Too many to count, this is just off the top of my head.
Radiohead- How to Disappear Completely and Idioteque(Two of the most beautiful songs ever)
The Weakerthans- The Pamphleteer
Devotchka- How it Ends
The Decemberists- Red Right Ankle
Death Cab for Cutie- Tiny Vessels
The entirety of In the Aeroplane Over the Sea

First post! I joined just to respond to this thread; what an awesome topic to discuss. I love that someone mentioned Bon Iver. I'm from Eau Claire, WI (their hometown) so I've grown up with Justin Vernon around, and he's always been such an influence around here. A friend of mine is in the band as well; I love seeing them mentioned in the places I'd least expect. Not to mention the always heartbreaking Neutral Milk Hotel. Good taste around here!
Songs that kill me every time:
> Sia - Breathe Me
Be my friend/
Hold me, wrap me up/
Unfold me/
I am small/
I'm needy/
Warm me up/
And breathe me
(Just, oh my god. You have to hear it to understand; just the lyrics do nothing. This song has always tugged at my heartstrings, but to top it all off it's in the season finale of Six Feet Under, which makes me absolutely sob every time I see it. Highly highly recommend this song, and show!)
> The Books - Motherless Bastard
(The intro is silly and I love it, but the actual song is all instrumental and is so beautiful and, to me, completely devastating.)
> The Magnetic Fields - Grand Canyon
If I was the Grand Canyon/
I'd echo everything you say/
but I'm just me/
I'm only me/
and you used to love me that way
(If you don't know who Stephin Merritt is ((I assume most of you do)), I request that you go watch a few interviews with him on youtube and check out at least his 69 Love Songs album. He is absolutely brilliant. He is generally very sarcastic with his lyrics, but this song still gets me.)
There are definitely more, but I'll refrain from writing a novel here. :-)

Yes. Sam Stone & Angel From Montgomery get me every time.
Also, Origin Of Love by Hedwig & the Angry Inch. I know it's from a musical comedy, but that final verse never fails to bring the sob.
