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.

I haven't seen the movie, but isn't that the number based on Aristophanes' speech in the Symposium?

Wow, that George Jones song is sad :cry:
One that gets me every time though is Maggie by Colin Hay. Such a sad story.
Also, The Foggy Dew by The Chieftains with Sinead O'Connor. Great vocals but heart-wrenching.
Clintaga:
What Do You Go Home To? By Explosions in the Sky and a Change is Gonna Come by Baby Huey and the Babysitters both had me crying full on Big Girl I-Dropped-My-Ice-Cream-Cone tears when i first listened to them.
The only sing that consistently inspires tears these days in the Kingdom hearts Theme song (Stupid Ex girlfriend, still being associated with that awesome song cause we did it like 8 seconds after I beat Kingdom hearts the first time).
As far as songs that emotionally move me, Seaglopur by Sigur Ross and The Conspiracy of Seeds by 65daysofstatic.
Edit: I just listened to Conspiracy of Seeds and started crying, so take that as you will.

Bon Iver: Wow, I knew they were from Wisconsin, but I did not know they were that close to me. Cool.
Hedwig: I wouldn't call it a comedy. It goes from hilarious to heartbreaking over the course of the story. I wouldn't judge anyone for tearing up. Hedwig is pretty fantastic, and I usually despise musicals.
I could go on and on on this, because I have cried to a lot of songs. I was pretty much a whiny self-pitying sap as a teenager, and I would actually make mix CDs designed for wallowing in misery, even before "emo" was "cool." I will second Tori Amos as a tearjerker. I discovered her at the height of my teen angst, and it was a match made in weepy teenage hell.
The first song that comes to mind is "Tunnels" by Arcade Fire, and it's an example of circumstances colliding with lyrics. It was winter, and I was in this really terrible, codependent, emotionally charged, self destructing relationship with a guy who was borderline suicidal. He disappeared one morning, and I went to class trying not to be a wreck. Over a few days, the snow had piled up several feet deep, so much that that morning, I had to climb drifts just to get to campus. During studio, we listen to music, and that song came on. "Tunnels" refers to two lovers who dig tunnels through the snow to be together. I broke into tears in the middle of class, but most people were drawing intently and didn't notice. I got myself together and went home "sick." (The boy is still alive, and from what I hear, seems to be getting over his issues.)
I can only think of two songs that have made me cry on their own. The first is "There is a Light that Never Goes Out" by the Smiths, the first time I heard it. It is just so darn poignant.
The second, which still gets me going every damn time is called The Cat Carol by Meryn Cadell. It is probably the worst Christmas song ever.
LYRICS. Just reading these made me sniffly, if you hear the actual song it is far worse. No songs with Santa Claus in them should be allowed to be this goddamn depressing.
