Last Time A Song Made You Cry ?

For me it was "Around The Bend" . On the way home the other day I had it on, and thoughts of my mother and daughter flooded my head as the lyrics buffeted and wrenched a few painful tears from my eyes.

    Soon forget -- listened to it after my uncle died and it always reminds me of him (even though the song has no relavance to him, its the overall tone of the song)

    well it didn't make me cry, but Gary Jules' "Mad World" is pretty intense.
    It is a Tears For Fears cover (they rock), and it is from the "Donnie Darko" soundtrack.

    Great song, great lyrics.

    I was driving my car and listening to Jones Beach 2, 2000. Daughter/It's Ok (the one on TB2K) made me cry... as it usually does.

    Present Tense.

    A friend of mine died in Iraq a few weeks ago and I was driving to the service and it came on.

    I went through two stages of crying though. The first was sorrow and then eventually happiness. It was my own 5 minute emotional trek that I'll never forget.

    The short but very effective "Untitled" song from Pearl Jam's 2000 tour CD. Not only did I play it for my best friend who moved away but everytime I hear it, it reminds me of love.

    Black is pretty intense. PJ's music has driven me to tears on numerous occassions. It's obvious that Eddie writes from his heart if it has that much effect on all of us.

    I cry everytime I hear Jeremy. This band's compassion and sincerety are what drew me to them. Great beliefs and causes bless their spirits.

    "softer, softest" by hole... didn't realize why
    I'm on a Tightrope, baby, nine miles high
    Striding through the clouds
    On my ribbon in the sky
    I'm on a tightrope baby,
    One thing I've found,
    I don't know how to stop but it's
    A long long long long way down

    well I cry almost every time i hear Creep,to me that's probably the best love song ever!especialy becouse there is no mention of the word "love" but somehow the part "I Wish I was special your so f'ckin special..."just says it all doesn't it?

    Just saw Willie Nelson at the Santa Barbara Bowl, he played the guitar intro to Hotel California and it was so awesome just knowing he is 71 years old and STILL out there doing what he loves, made me think of Waylon and Johnny Cash, made me cry...

    release pretty much makes me cry every time i listen to it... just from the sheer intensity of the song. i am overwhelmed with joy and sadness at how powerful it is.

    other than that, "pictures of you" by the cure is a total weeper. can't even keep myself from getting teary hearing it on the h-p commercials.
    you paid to get in, you're free to leave.

    Although it does not wet my eyes on every listen, Release consistently delivers strong thoughts or emotions, usually resonating from Vedder's confessional voice and into my mind. The line, "release me" is sung so beautifully by Eddie and can be interpreted in many different ways, which makes the song feel so special. His emotion here is especially poignant. Best and most underrated Pearl Jam song in my opinion, because it means so much to Eddie.
