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).

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.....

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  |

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!
