Songs you've cried to

the only song I have ever cried to is Alberto Balsam, I
don't know why, just when I heard it I felt like I saw a
person who lived the saddest life ever and that song was
his/her story... and I just cried.. Also it was at a very
emotional time in my life that I first heard that song and
it really broke me down.. It's in my opinion one of the
saddest Aphex Twin songs...

I don't I've ever cried to a song, but I get emotional to
some of them.

Rhubarb
Vletmrx21
Alberto Balsalm
Roygbiv

And some Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young seems to have a
serious sadness effect on me.

And Julia by the Beatles. That Lennon was a pretty good
musician! *understatement

Aphex Twin - Cliffs

I was at the visitation to my grampa's funeral. We were
really close when I was young....

Anyway, I went outside during the visitation, and got my
discman. The sun was setting in the horizon, so I put on
SAWII, and cCliffs was playing as the sun set. I sat there,
looking off into the sunset as cliffs played and the tears
flowed. And I realized, at this point, that my childhood
had ended, but it wasnt;' a bad thing.... I taste my tears,
and I musst move on, and live this strange life, whatever it
brings

I miss you gramps, but you'll always be with me, in my mind
and in my soul.....

The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony
at the end of cruel intentions (that movie touches me!)

autechre - rae
aphex twin - flim
for no perticular reason, they just bring tears to my eyes.

Incubus - I miss you
Makes me think of a very special person...

Cruel intentions!!
I saw that movie last week,and the end is sooo good!
The music fits that scene perfectly!
It made me re-discover Bittersweet symphony.
That's a very good song ,actually..

I also found a jungle remix of it by capital J .
Check that!

Kenny Rogers - You Are So Beautiful - did he write that?
Metallica - Fade To Black

Alberto Balsalm struck me as a very emotional song the first
time I heard it. I rented ICBYD out from a library, it was
the first Afx I heard, and I thought the whole album sounded
like shit apart from AB, which sounded beatiful. Ah,
Alberto, you are so beautiful... to me.

Heh heh.

I don't know if I've ever cried to a song... I do find lots
of songs really sad... Tha almost makes me cry quite often,
as does Alberto Balsalm, and others by Aphex Twin... Peter
Gabriel songs are always sad and melencholic (well, most
times)... I can't remember a time though where I actually
cried listening to a song...

The music is usually only the trigger when it makes people
cry tho, isn´t it? I think there´s usually some other
reason for the tears, ie grandpa diyng or sumthing..

squarepusher's 'my sound' usually makes me well up when i
listen to it in the right mood...its really the only song
that can almost always do that to me..

gybe's 'matta' (i think...first track on slow riot) is
another one...i remember listening to that in my room the
day after the world trade center fell...and thats about when
everything really hit me...

a few of radiohead's songs...motion picture soundtrack, how
to disappear completely, street spirit..

isan's 'dilly'

aphex's pancake lizard, iz us, and i got a bit choked up by
rhubarb a little while ago..

brian eno - always returning

theres prolly tons more...as i tend to be one of those
people who listens to melancholic music when depressed...it
usually makes me feel better for some reason

zetre: yeah, I think that is true most of the time, but some
songs are so incredibly beautiful or sad that they defy
human logic, and that can make one cry too, IMO.

And I think Bitter Sweet Symphony is also a very beautiful
and sad song.

Yeah, and by cry I didnt really mean sobbing out loud, but I
have had tears run down my cheeks ( to alberto balsam) and
welled up to several other songs.

The only song that's ever made me cry was "Illuminate" by
Orbital featuring David Gray. It's an awesome song, and I
still enjoy it, but I've listened to it so many times that
it just doesn't seem that sad to many anymore.

These are some songs I start to choke on (as in feeling sad
/ crying choked):

-Brian Eno = An Ending (the acent). It always calms things
down to a level of motionlessness. Its a sad song. It once
came on as some kids outside where playing across the
street...that was neat to watch with the song.

-Agaetis Byrjun = Sigur Ros. While it doesn't bring to
tears to my eyes its sad as well.

-Viorar Vel Til Loftarasa = I once heard this song like a
year or two ago on the radio and when I heard it I was 101%
captivated by the song. I was like wow through the whole
thing. Then earlier this year I bought their album,
Agaetis, and found that song on it! I pretty much burst
when it came on...and when those guitars swept in at the
end? I won't even go there lol.

-How to disappear completely = Radiohead: Sad song...a bit
hard to listen to but when I do listen to it it's nice.

-Vletrmx 21 = Autechre: I only cried to this once when a
powerful image came up one night when I was listening to it.
It was like I was in the song. That night I had powerful
images with that and EP7. No drugs were used...I guess I
was in a really quiet state and I could really really
concentrate on what was happening.

Listening to Analogue Bubblebath 1 off Classics when I was
13 right after reading a book called "We All Fall Down", I
thought the book was a shitty coming of age book and then at
the end I realized that the main two characters (who ended
up never seeing each other again because of bad decisions
even though they really loved each other, whatever) and was
soo sadenned by that when the melody dropped in the song
that tears came to my eyes.

corngrower: That's a real powerful story.

you know, i don't cry - i've cried all of 4 times since age
7, twice last year. one of the other times was about three
years ago listening to ok computer. it just struck a chord,
i dunno. music gives me chills, and it's not like i hold
back - i lose my fucking mind but without crying. it's not
holding back as embracing the music and holding it inside
instead of letting it exit through my retinas.

This Mortal Coil - Song to the siren
Tim Buckly - Song to the siren
Cocteau Twins - Seekers who are lovers
Dead Can Dance - Host of the Seraphim
Leonard Cohen - Love will call you by your name
Nico - Eulogy to Lenny Bruce
Arthur Russell - See Trough
Red House Painters -

Well, my girlfriend just ripped my heart out a few weeks ago
when she started seeing this other BASTARD!!!! so I'm rather
emotional these days...

I think Cocteau Twins said it best when they said: "I won't
heal unless I cry..."
