10. Robbie Williams "Angels"
9. The Righteous Brothers "Unchained Melody"
8. Bruce Springsteen "Streets of Philadelphia"
7. Elton John "Candle in the Wind"
6. The Verve "The Drugs Don't Work"
5. U2 "With Or Without You"
4. Sinead O'Connor "Nothing Compares 2 U"
3. Jeff Buckley "Hallelujah"
2. Eric Clapton "Tears in Heaven"
1. REM "Everybody Hurts"

Just another useless read I found online while surfing the net.

So guy's is it correct? Everytime you hear one of these songs you cry like a little baby?
If you have nothing to lose, you have nothing to worry about.

    The only song that makes me slightly emotional is the theme music from 'Rocky'

    Jeff Buckley is some good stuff Mr Chadwick. He may be worth a moment or two of your time just to see if it is your kind of thing. May I suggest Lover, You Should've Come Over as a place to start. He's quite good at covers ... Hallelujah and Lilac Wine both quite lovely.

    Lover, You Should've Come Over

    "Looking out the door
    I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
    Parading in a wake of sad relations
    As their shoes fill up with water

    Maybe I'm too young
    To keep good love from going wrong
    But tonight, you're on my mind so
    You never know

    Broken down and hungry for your love
    With no way to feed it
    Where are you tonight?
    Child, you know how much I need it.
    Too young to hold on
    And too old to just break free and run

    Sometimes a man gets carried away,
    When he feels like he should be having his fun
    Much too blind to see the damage he's done
    Sometimes a man must awake to find that, really,
    He has no-one...

    So I'll wait for you... And I'll burn
    Will I ever see your sweet return?
    Oh, will I ever learn?
    Oh, Lover, you should've come over
    Cause it's not too late.

    Lonely is the room the bed is made
    The open window lets the rain in
    Burning in the corner is the only one
    Who dreams he had you with him
    My body turns and yearns for a sleep
    That won't ever come
    It's never over,
    My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
    It's never over,
    all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her...
    It's never over,
    All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter...
    It's never over,
    She's a tear that hangs inside my soul forever...

    But maybe I'm just too young to keep good love
    From going wrong
    Oh... lover you should've come over...

    Yes, and I feel too young to hold on
    I'm much too old to break free and run
    Too deaf, dumb, and blind
    To see the damage I've done
    Sweet lover, you should've come over
    Oh, love, well I'll wait for you
    Lover, you should've come over
    'Cause it's not too late."

    EDIT: see I wasn't the only one to recommend Jeff :lol:

    Three different movies have made me cry over the years, but never really a song. I do get emotional when I hear Off He Goes or Come Back because it makes me think of my best friend who died.

    10. Robbie Williams "Angels"
    Nope!

    9. The Righteous Brothers "Unchained Melody"
    Oh please!

    8. Bruce Springsteen "Streets of Philadelphia"
    Makes me careful

    7. Elton John "Candle in the Wind"
    Can't stand the bloke so it makes me nauseous.

    6. The Verve "The Drugs Don't Work"
    Nope!

    5. U2 "With Or Without You"
    Bone make me cry? Actually put me in a stadium and make me have to listen to him putting the world to rights for 2 hours and I probably would.

    4. Sinead O'Connor "Nothing Compares 2 U"
    Nope! Was always puzzled why she was bald though.

    3. Jeff Buckley "Hallelujah"
    Nope!

    2. Eric Clapton "Tears in Heaven"
    Nope! Circus is a much more emotional song.

    1. REM "Everybody Hurts"
    Nope!

    played this song (and 2 others) @ the old man's funeral.
    greatness is megadeth... dave mustaine,,, my friend through music & tears, never met him.

    for 6 months
    every single day
    all day long
    i listened to this song on repeat
    cried nonstop
    the tornado of pain took me to the bottom of darkness... dave and company helped me more than anyone

    other two funeral tunes...

    Many of those songs in that list are great songs, but they really don't make me cry. A song that always does me in is "Trouble" by Cat Stevens. Growing up in a not-so-great home environment, that song was always my anthem of sorts. Just a great song to listen to when you are overwhelmed.
  • dunkmandunkman Posts: 19,646
    not one of those songs make me cry...

    Flume- Bon Iver
    Hope There's Someone- Antony & The Johnsons

    now those songs can make me almost have an emotional response..

    if a man cries to a song in Scotland he can technically be hung for treason.... and ironically yes, scotland did invent crying.
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Razorblade..yep...my daughter has a poem called "Razorblade Kiss" from her younger "more" emo days, I should post that on another place here.

    Anyway, good for you, anyone who can't shed a tear at Come Back, is too tough for this life.

    I have to agree that none of these songs affected me in anyway. Good songs, But cry, No way!

    3 Songs that will always stop me in my tracks are

    Johnny Cash "Hurt"
    PJ "The End"
    PJ "Long Road" Made a tribute video for my mother with this as the theme song. Does it for everyone in the family.

    Love music that has the ability to stir emotions. Good or Bad
