I only want to cry when I watch the clip.
But I love the emotion & despair that comes across in the vocals and it reminds me of something incredibly personal.

OMG, me too! That song is so beautiful...*sighs* :( It's my song for a guy I can't be with...story of my life hey!
"Hero" and "Escape" by Enrique Iglesias, "Yellow" by Coldplay, and "Everything" by Lifehouse all get me in the miserable state as well! :( And for the same reasons as "Always", but not the same guy!
Ash...ya still hooked up on him? :(
To the people who are just stirring up **** in this thread, well, if you don't take this thread seriously then don't post.
'Stay Together' by Suede
'Grace' - the whole album - Jeff Buckley
'With or Without You' and 'All I Want Is You' U2
'Knights in White Satin' Moody Blues
'I Want You' Elvis Costello
Geez I'm a sad bastard!:)

Atomspheres / Joy Division
- a favourite song anyway, but when I heard it at a mates funeral (a Suicide) I broke down and wept.
Ode to Joy / Beethoven
Can make you cry, although its a very uplifting piece of music.
The River / Bruce Springstein
a beautiful ballard and a working class anthem.
Tomorrow / silverchair
an enduring classic, destined to be played at lots of GenXer funerals in coming years.
Jesus joy of mans desire / JS Bach
tugs at the heartstrings simply because its such a beautiful piece of music.
Seigfreids Funeral March / Wagner
In all the turgid mass of Wagner's music, this short piece has real emotional impact, stunning.
thats all I can think of now, but there is more out there
cheers

Wasn't this playing when EJ did his final lap of honour?
The song itself does nothing for me but when heard in conjunction with that footage I tear up pretty quickly.

Patches by Clarence Carter
Patches I'm dependin' on ya son
To pull the family through...
U2 - With or Without You, as someone said previously because of a broken relationship.
Devo - Whip It. It doesn't make me cry, but that was the song played at our final year 12 assembly, and it holds very dear memories for me.
I can see clearly now by Jimmy Cliff becasue it's played at the end of Cool Runnings and I cried at that movie.
Bound for Glory by Angry - played at the start of the 90 grand final tape, has a clip of Millane getting his thumb taped up, that bit gets me going.
