Is there a song [lyric or music] that brings you to tears!?

sound strange but some friends and I had this conversation today and we actually all welled up at "Goodbye My Lover" by James Blunt lol!! but tonight i was driving home, alone and in the dark - and Alibi by David Gray came on and i felt myself welling up at the desperation of the music and lyrics!! Biffy Clyro songs do, the lyrics Simon Neil writes about his mothers death.

anyone else get this? and if so which song?! or do you think the setting in which you listen to the song sets you off, in relation to the song - like being alone - and a song about being alone.

okay im babbling lol :]]]]

Best Answer

'Lacrimosa' in Mozart's Requiem Mass. The tears are of joy over a great choral music piece. A more recognizable work is 'Maria' from West Side Story. That song and musical have many parallels to my life, except I didn't get shot.

pickynancy1234	Posted Sep 27th, 2009 at 9:19AM A lot of music makes me cry. Simon and Garfunkel almost always do, Tchaikovsky does too, and then sometimes some weird things that you wouldn't think should do, like The Smashing Pumpkins, or The Talking Heads. Rated: +2Vote for this!

kazwaz1977	Posted Sep 26th, 2009 at 8:02AM Here are a few that set me off - theme from Mahogany by Diana Ross, Bright eyes - art Garfunkel The Boxer - Simon & Garfunkel Yellow - Coldplay - the lyric 'for you i'd bleed myself dry' The lonely old people - Wings Woman and Jealous guy by John Lennon Just off the top of my head - they don't always set me off, have to be down in the first place - not much of a cryer to be honest.
