    Definitely but it's certainly not a bad thing.
    Pearl Jam has been a part of my life for 15 years and their music means so much to me. As they have grown so have I
    Plus I'm not sure how I would have made it through high school without them.

    Come Back gives me a lump in my throat every time I hear it. I'm Open does the same.

    The first time I heard The End I was listening to it with head phones on, with my eyes closed. Half way through I started bawling, not just a few tears but full on body heaving sobbing. :cry: :oops:

    Come Back does it every time. "I'll be here, come back" Almost sounds like he is in tears when he is singing

    WOW i have cried to so many PJ songs over the last 18 yrs. I must admit everytime i play TEN i get very emotional.

    Yeah, same here. I was listening to TEN recently and got choked up listening to Release.
    Sometimes I can't believe I've loved them for so long and I don't know what I'd do if they weren't in my life...they've saved me so many times.

    Yeah, it was the same for me in Manchester. Eddie only sung two lines of "Long Road" and I almost went to pieces.

    Me too, had to hold hubbys hand.

    St. John's Newfound 2005, Concert #1, Thumbing My Way. I was lonely, and thinking of my grandpa who I never met, which made me lonlier.

    made me cry? has it ever!

    every show I've been to, at least once. at home, many a time aswell.

    my first ever time seeing PJ live was in Dublin, 2006. I was really hoping they'd play Indifference and when Jeff played those first few notes I was gone. absolutely magical.

    London and Dusseldorf in 2007, I'm _sure_ I cried but can't remember specific moments. Copenhagen on that same year, however, don't think I stopped crying at any point.

    all tears of joy and of sorrow.

    cried during Sleight of Hand (and some other song too, can't remember which but I do remember that the person I was with noticed :D ) in Manchester. I hadn't realised how much I'd wanted to hear that song live until I did.

    as for non-concert tears.. two times really stand out. the first time I heard Indifference and the first time I heard Unthought Known.

    Indifference made me realise things that were going to hell in my life at the time. they were upset tears, but it all lead to good things. Unthought Known - oh man - hearing that song was such an awesome moment! I had waited and waited, didn't want to listen to Backspacer before official release. I was sitting at home, headphones on and volume up. I cried and smiled all through the song. gems and rhinestones! :mrgreen:

    I haven't really cried to any song, i've come very close to, but just haven't....but if there was one song that would make me cry it would be "Man of the Hour." -that song is so amazing, yet sad.

    I cried during Black and Alive when I saw them 4 years ago... I couldn't avoid the emotion.
    Let's say knowledge is a tree, yeah.
    It's growing up just like me.

    It wasn't really PJ per se, since it was just Eddie & Mike & Neil, but when they did Long Road on the September 11th Tribute to Heroes... all of those September 11th emotions were released... it was like a dam breaking.

    Black - beautiful song, but depends on my mood - sometimes makes me cry..

    Come Back - such emotion in his voice - makes me cry if I am already sad...

    The End - bawled like a friggin' baby for about the first 25 times I listened to it!!! - my husband left the day Backspacer came out - I know it's about dying, but the words fit for this too, and it breaks my heart to hear the emotion in Ed's voice.....

    I just ran my first marathon (Chicago '09), and with a mile to go after 25 miles of not listening to my iPod I threw on "Backspacer" with "Gonna See My Friend" first to fire me up and then "Unthought Known". The latter brought tears to my eyes when I saw the finish line in sight. I had a pretty crappy illness growing up where I wasn't sure that I'd ever be able to even think about trying for something like a marathon. The memories of the sacrifices my parents made, the care of my doctors, and the build up of that song especially the piano really made me choke up.

    That is a lovely story.

    I can remember lying on the wooden floor listening to Come Back and bawling my eyes out.

    I can't count how many times Backspacer has brought tears to my eyes.
