    Not with actual tears streaming down my cheeks, but they choke me up quite often. No particular song(s)...I guess it's more of a place and time thing.

    Can I forgive what I
    Cannot forget
    And live a lie
    I could give it one more try

    Not sure why it just struck me. :(

    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.

    My wife attended only her second PJ concert last year (1st Mansfield show; her first was the previous night in Hartford :) ). She couldn't understand why I would drag her to see the same band THREE TIMES in 4 NIGHTS!! :shock: When PJ started playing Black, I looked over and tears where streaming down her face. We both are counting the days to Philly- she insisted in getting tix for all 4 nights :!:

    As for me; shit- so many times I have been choked up. Seeing my 5 year old daughter doing the hallelujahs in Do the Evolution...reflecting on my past mistakes on Thumbing My Way...thinking on how blessed I am after hearing Just Breathe the first time...

    Choked up at Virgina Beach 2000. During the Daughter tag by Bad Moon "It's Okay" best version of the tag ever. It was their 1st show and start of the American Leg of 2000 tour following the Roskilde tragedy....God Bless. Absolutely amazing and gave me goose bumps at the same time I got choked up. Later in that show Ed tells the crowd "there was a kid named Anthony and this was his favorite song" WHile playing Off he Goes Ed is swaying back and forth and there is a moth (In the south they are colorful like butterflies) swooping back and forth over Ed's head. Makes you think a little

    Black makes me cry.

    I got a bit choked up during Footsteps in LA, too.
    I'll wait for an angel, but won't hold my breath

    Not cried as such, but I certainly had alump in my throat when I saw them at the O2 this year. It was more the fact that I was actually seeing them live after years of waiting that had me all emotional.

    Very much so.

    ~ Better Man made me cry with sheer happiness at the O2 show this year.
    ~ Light Years, The End, Man of the Hour and Release after the death of my Dad in August.
    ~ Nothingman when my relationship with my ex-partner was breaking down.
    ~ GTF puts a tear in my eye whenever i'm getting over something massive in my life.
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    Is that the question
    And if so...if so...who answers...who answers...
    ..we are all still and stand alive......

    I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
    I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky, but why
    Why, why can't it be, can't it be mine

    and all that he frees, a little bittersweet, it's home
    it's nothing as it seems, the little that you see, it's home...

    he was okay, but wondering about wandering

    I did a what I had to do. Oh, and if there was a reason... Oh, there wasn't no reason. no.
    And if there's something you'd like to do. Oh, just let me continue to blame you.

    And the days, they linger on
    And every night, what I'm waiting for
    Is the real possibility I may meet you in my dream
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
    "..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
    “..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”

    Yeah, it was the same for me in Manchester. Eddie only sung two lines of "Long Road" and I almost went to pieces.
    It's gonna be a glorious day...

    The most touching song ever is "Slight of Hand"...that song always makes me cry!!! Also when I watch DVD "Cornice" from Italy and realize how much I LOVE THEM and how much they can touch people in other countries...that brings a tear to my eye!
