Apparently, 'Evergreen' by Barbra Streisand used to make me howl when I was about two. But I think that's probably because it's horrible!!!
I can't listen to any Nick Drake without bawling my eyes out. Seriously, I had to stop listening to it. Even thinking about 'River Man' can make me teary-eyed. Flipping this thread upside-down, the last music to make me laugh out loud - and not from finding it funny, but for sheer joy - was Koenjihyakkei, 'Angherr Shisspa'. If you need cheering up after all this salt-water-stimulating music, give it a go! Edited by song_of_copper - June 21 2008 at 16:18 |

The lamb Lies Down on Broadway got me crying.......made for exhausting listening but really hit the nerve on ' The Light Dies Down on Broadway'
Around that time anything by The Carpenters or John Denver but that because my sister got to the turntable first

How can anyone sit thru Jackson Browne's Late for Sky album without tears? "Their feathers once so fine grow torn and tattered" |

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

Styx - Don't Let It End would really depress me as a kid. :/
The last time music made me cry was during and after the Musical Box concert last December. I couldn't believe I was hearing Genesis music live and able to see a show I never thought I would be able to experience. When "Peter Gabriel" sang the last line of Supper's Ready, I couldn't hold it back. Then they returned and did The Knife for the encore... the song that got me into prog. It was one of the most amazing nights of my life. Edited by KeleCableII - June 04 2008 at 03:42 |

Beatles- Glass Onion
Seriously, Nights in White Satin , Epitath, Song for Europe & My Only Love from Roxy as well as Ferry's Name of the Game. All have made me a bit in silence.
I can't listen to "Time to Say Goodbye" (Bocelli/Brightman) , reminds me of my mum in heaven.

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Love Will Tear Us Apart by Joy Division is very sad, and it has a beautiful melancholy to it. The line "why is the bedroom so cold, turned away on your side?" is heart-breaking.
Other than that, I think the only way for me to cry when I hear a song is when it's a sad song that I associate with a sad incident. Like Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. I sang it while playing my guitar when a friend's dad died (hey, the song is about love lost, so it's close enough). Now the song makes me want to cry, yet it also is very comforting. |

I'm not sure if it was the first, but knowing the story behind it, Tears In Heaven by Eric Clapton has brought a tear or two to the eyes.

Not to necro, but music has never made me cry, but if it did, the one to do it would definitely be the second movement of Barber's first string quartet (a.k.a. Adagio for Strings).
//EDIT: And as a note, I haven't cried in a decade and a half. Edited by Gamemako - June 02 2008 at 17:54 |

yes 'Farm' is touching, and his love of animals in Heavy Horses is quite moving

A song I find particularly poignant is Jethro Tull's "Farm on the Freeway", possibly the best track on Crest of a Knave. The stark yet deeply melancholy way Ian Anderson convey the sorrow of the song's speaking voice at the loss of his farm proves once again what a superb lyricist and singer he is. More dramatic, but no less touching, is the close to Marillion's "Forgotten Sons" (my favourite song from the Fish era by far).

"Octavarium" has made me cry, as well as "Trial of Tears", "In the Name of God", and "In the Presence of Enemies"
the first was probably "Octavarium" though.

Cry?? Can't think. However, I can tell you the song that stopped the tears following a bad romantic break-up: Frank Zappa's Broken Hearts Is For Arseholes - too right Frankie!!!

I believe it was listening to Close to the Edge on vinyl for the first time in a few months. My mood at the time plus the beauty of that album plus transcendance plus realizing how this album is part of me plus love plus organ solo plus emotion overdose resulted in tears of joy. Music often puts me on the threshold of crying, but I only have surpassed that line a few times, it's beautiful though

If I remember rightly, it was Bohemian Rhapsody. I was about 15, and I remember sitting with my friend - a real Queen fanatic - after a party, where both of us had failed miserably to attract the attention of our dream women. For some reason, the line about not wanting to have been born at all, struck a chord! Bloody teenagers!
I seem to remember shedding a quiet private tear, the day after Phil Lynott died, while listening to 'The Sun goes Down' from the 'Thunder and Lightening' album. Edited by Blacksword - May 22 2008 at 04:02 |
