Has PJ ever made you cry?

I have no idea why, but "I just want to scream 'hello'" makes me cry EVERY time I hear it. I don't know how I connect to it, I just know it hits me very hard every time.

I think this is a perfect item to add to the list. It doesn't seem like it would be sentimental but it shows how impacting PJ can be. (Welcome to the board, post #12!)

The first time I cried in years & years was when my father was dying and it was Pearl Jam that unlocked probably 15 years' worth of sorrow, angst, frustration, joy, etc....
When people ask me about why I love PJ so much and why I am one of the obsessive/faithful, I tell them that not only are they the soundtrack for my life but that it was through Pearl Jam that I was able to learn how to feel again.
I now cry pretty easily. Not talking bawl my eyes out but tear up....every show a different song will get me but also when I see a special moment with my nephew, son, wife, etc...I will wipe a tear or 5 away. Never used to be able to cry even when I should have.
Thank you Pearl Jam!

I never did add my list......... But as for a song that makes me cry every time.. Parting Ways. It came out just as my Fiancé cheated on me. And that broke my heart.. I thought I had recovered some.. But then as a get well present.. ( all this happen after my horse accident left me in the hospital for nine months), my Brother flew down to Oklahoma, where I was losing everything I had worked my now broken ass off for, to give me some inspiration. And with him was Binaural. I listened to that song one time. It made me sob. Like really sob.. Which REALLY hurt, cause I had just gotten a freshly minted plate screwed to my pelvic bone, and rods put in my knee and my foot. So crying that hard really hurt. But the funny thing ended up being that in the end, I related to the fact that the female protagonist in the song ended up realizing her fate was for the best, and bravely walking away. That song still makes me cry.. Mostly cause that fucker ( my ex) ruined my faith in love, though he had some help from the NEXT guy I dated, who cheated on me as well, but much worse so.. And every so often, when I'm crying over the first guy, I get this twinge of pain in my ass. Lol so I can literally say this guy Ed, was a pain in my ass!! But there's a few more that make me cry.. That just the only one that makes me cry EVERY time.

Black - Past couple of years since I've seen my ex so that "I know someday..." part hits home for me.
Indifference
Nothing As It Seems - Just because it sounds like Comfortably Numb.

In 2011 I had a bad flare up of anxiety and in the days leading up to a very big trip I was listening to Eddie's cover of 'My City of Ruin' in the car and burst into tears during the 'rise up, c'mon rise up' bit. Only time its ever happened.

Thought i had posted in this thread, but i guess not......fargo 2003....2nd show, 1st in a decade....Ed started into Arc....couldnt contain the emotion.

Then pretty much the entire fucking show in St Paul 2014.

Then i am sitting in my living room a few months later, listening to the st paul boot, and it fucking happened again. I just started weeping.

The first time I cryed was watching Black on the MTV unplugged.
But then the first time I saw them was at Wrigley Field 2013 and the second those guitar notes for Release started played I basically weeped the whole concert

Great time reading all the comments ahead of me! Two times that come immediately to mind. The first time I heard Footsteps played live I shed a few. Watching the hurricane Sandy benefit concert at home when Eddie came out to sing Comfortably Numb with Roger Waters. My favorite Floyd song with lyrics that feel like they are spoke directly to me, sung by my favorite artist, and I had a good cry.
