Thought there was a thread for this, maybe it was on V. 1.0. Kerble away and apology in advance.

Lately, this song, and this remix especially.

That one too, despite how fucking hilarious it is. Years ago I cried a lot while driving through the Loire Valley to that one.

Aretha Franklin - (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman Live at Kennedy Center

I know it seems goofy given that the lyrics involve youth gangs and knife fighting, but this song makes me feel wide-eyed and alive to the point of tears.

Never to the point of shedding a tear, but a track like Mercury Rev's Frittering can really move me; That sense of insignificance of self but also of beauty in a cosmic sense of the word...

Or Milemarker's Lost the thoughts but kept the skin (that crescendo, pure sadness and desperation).

Very different emotions, both incredibly moving.

And yeah, those classic folk singers could deliver incredibly moving performances. Like Helplessly hoping and shit.

I have cried to this one as well.

The Smiths' "That Joke isn't Funny Anymore."

Many a Nick Drake track. :"Which Will" comes immediately to mind.

Certain tracks from Circuit des Yeux also, "Lithonia..."

Candy from Morphine is like the prettiest/saddest tune.

- 'Chiquitita' by ABBA. 'Fernando' is also sad, but it doesn't push me to tears.

- 'My Love' by Petula Clark. This never used to make me cry - it's an exuberant song about being in love - but now there's two lines in this song that get me crying.

A Night Like This by The Cure once meant a whole lot to me and a certain young lady. For years after we broke up I couldn't listen to it unless I wanted to end up a blubbering mess. I kind of forced myself to get over it since The Head On The Door is my favorite Cure LP and having to pick up and move the needle every time became tedious and silly. I'm OK with it now but I still get a little bittersweet pang every once in a while ...

I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
Can't stand here like this anymore
For always and ever is always for you
I want it to be perfect like before
Oh ho ho, I want to change it all
Oh ho ho, I want to change
