A song made you cry?

It was song called Indifference by Pearl Jam (live), because it reminded me at how sometimes we can do nothing to make difference in our lives.

especially theese:

I will hold the candle until it burns on my arm...
I will stear at sundown untill my eyes go blind...
I wont change direction, I wont change my mind...

I like poetry very much but I didnt read the song that was so inspired on my like this song.
Ivan Nisandzic

    "Release" for many personal reasons. and their version of "Last Kiss" 'cause I just feel something everytime I listen to it.
    some words when spoken...can't be taken back

    she lived like a murder...but she died. just like suicide...

    long road.. a short time after a cousin passed away

    all the friends and family
    all the memories going round round round
    i have wished for so long
    how i wish for you today

    off he goes.. no code came out 2 years after a good friend commited suicide.. :(

    there he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes
    there he goes...
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    Sleight of Hand . . .

    any new realizations would have to wait
    til he had more time. . .more time
    time to dream to himself...waves goodbye to his own self
    see you on the other side
    another man moved by sleight of hand. . .

    makes me think of my dad, rest his thoughtful soul
    Nice shirt.

    Light Years in 2003. It made me think of my Aunt Mary. Definitely the first time I had heard the song and really felt its meaning.

    The only songs I've cried to are Pillar of Davidson (waaaah!) and Black.

    But I get a big, bad feeling in my heart when I hear Sleight of Hand (suicide?), Special Needs (by Placebo) and Bittersweet Symphony.
    This puke stinks like beer, and everybody's here, so come on come on come on, let's lay waste to this Century...

    i've cried to alot of songs, alot of pearl jam songs....for various reasons, some bigger reasons than others....i just tend to find that music is the way to release my built up sadness and tears....

    the most important song for me, actually, there are two or three (PJ ones) and they are:

    lightyears,
    immortality
    indifference,
    nothingman,
    black.....and some others,.....

    'Light Years' made me cry when i listened to it after my longtime friend Dutch (a labrador retriever, but still one hell of a great companion) died in Oct. 2003 after 10 years together. Those words really hit me hard.

    The new variations of Yellow Ledbetter. I like to run a few miles a day listening to my PJ boots over here. And when I hear the variations where Ed's talking about kids getting killed over here, I can't help but cry. Its a wierd experience, I'm running, sweating and crying at the same time. What a mess! :-)

    Throughout the course of our lives,we will meet many great people. Friends, family, strangers who somehow cross your path and enemies; they all have something to teach you. Some will leave deep footprints and others will not. Just be sure to wipe your feet before you step into someone's heart.

    Didn't cry, but I had a lump the size of a Christmas ham in my throat at the end of Big Fish.
    Hail, hail the lucky ones, I refer to those in love.

    I just love the lyrics for "given to fly"

    i am not sure if my interpretation is accurate, But the thought of someone getting thier wings... awww it gives me goose bumps every time especially when eddie hits the high notes. This song could have so many different meanings, and it is such a beautiful thing to think maybe this is what life is like, after death.

    A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw
    Delivered him wings - "Hey, look at me now"
    Arms wide open with the sea as his floor
    Oh! He's FLYING! Oh, HIGH! WIDE! Oh...

    He floated back down cause he wanted to share
    His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
    But first he was stripped, and then he was stabbed
    By faceless men, what fuckers... he still stands.

    And he still gives his love, he just gives it away
    The love he receives is the love that is saved
    And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
    A human being that was given to fly...

    I am mine..It was just one day I hadn't anything to do in school, so I went out for a while all by myself to think, and suddenly, the lyrics in the song just stricked me, and I was like, WOW! this song is amazing, so I started to cry, not so much, but a bit...

    many of the other songfs that made me cry too (or at least a little lump in my throat), like love boat captain, last kiss (the song is so sad, and It's not written in this typical PJ way, but when Eddie starts doing all these uuhs and ahhs it sounds like he experienced it himslef, and that makes me cry, the tought of someone that lose their friends in that way.. so tragic..)..

    I had all of this pent up emotion.. from what, i don't know. i spent three nights falling asleep to yellow ledbetter, listening with my headphones because my brother doesn't like pearl jam..
    at the end of the song, when ed sings, "i don't wanna stay.." and he hits that high note, i choked and tears started running down my cheeks onto the pillow.
    something just tweaked inside of me.. and i fell asleep.

    I still remember this one. Years ago when I first listened to this song by Dave Matthews. I don't think any song has hit me like this one, and I still haven't figured out why.

    Standing here
    The old man said to me,
    "Long before these crowded streets
    Here stood my dreaming tree."
    Below it he would sit
    For hours at a time
    Now progress takes away
    What forever took to find
    And now he's falling hard
    He feels the falling dark
    How he longs to be
    Beneath his dreaming tree

    Conquered fear to climb
    A moment froze in time
    When the girl who first he kissed
    Promised him she'd be his
    Remembered mother's words
    There beneath the tree
    "No matter what the world
    You'll always be my baby."
    "Mommy come quick,
    The dreaming tree has died."
    The air is growing thick
    A fear he cannot hide
    The dreaming tree has died

    Oh, have you no pity?
    This thing I do
    I do not deny it
    All through this smile
    As crooked as danger
    I do not deny
    I know in my mind
    I would leave you now
    If I had the strength to
    I would leave you up
    To your own devices
    Will you not talk?
    Can you take pity?
    I don't ask much
    But won't you speak, please?

    From the start
    She knew she had it made
    Easy up 'til then
    For sure she'd make the grade
    Adorers came in hordes
    To lay down in her wake
    Gave it all she had
    But treasures slowly fade
    Now she's falling hard
    Feels the fall of dark
    How did this fall apart?
    She drinks to fill it up
    A smile of sweetest flowers
    Wilted so and soured
    Black tears stain the cheeks
    That once were so admired
    She thinks when she was small
    There on her father's knee
    How he had promised her,
    "You'll always be my baby."
    "Daddy come quick,
    The dreaming tree has died
    I can't find my way home
    There is no place to hide
    The dreaming tree has died."

    Oh, if I had the strength to
    I would leave you up
    To your own devices
    Will you not talk?
    Can you take pity?
    I don't ask much
    But won't you speak, please?

    Take me back, take me back, take me back...

    Save me please.

    I always have a hard time hearing Neil Young's "Tell Me Why".

    Sailing heart-ships
    thru broken harbors
    Out on the waves in the night
    Still the searcher
    must ride the dark horse
    Racing alone in his fright.
    Tell me why, tell me why

    Is it hard to make
    arrangements with yourself,
    When you're old enough to repay
    but young enough to sell?

    Tell me lies later,
    come and see me
    I'll be around for a while.
    I am lonely but you can free me
    All in the way that you smile
    Tell me why, tell me why

    Is it hard to make
    arrangements with yourself,
    When you're old enough to repay
    but young enough to sell?

    Tell me why, tell me why
    Tell me why, tell me why
