    'Present Tense' and 'Black' at Boston II this year. Though 'I Got Shit' has been making me all misty eyed as of late too.
    believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.

  • Any song can strike up an emotion in you that will leave you in tears, for joy, sadness, anything. It could be one line of "Black" or and entire song. The point is that it touched you the same way it touched the person who created it. Whatever it takes to get you through the day is what's gonna make those emotions flow. Love it, it's why we love music.
    when you feel you have nothing else-play PEARL JAM

  • I was listening to black yesterday, but the version at the end "WE, WE BELONG TOGETHER".. and for some reason that made me start getting the tears..

    Before that, for some reason All those yesterdays were Lol... sounds abit weird now, but sometimes was clicking with that song :P
    She said to me, over the phone...She wanted to see other people... I thought:
    "Well then, look around, they're everywhere"
    Said that she was confused... I thought:
    "Darling, join the club"

    Black because it remind me a friend who died in car the last summer and when my brother introduced me to him , he said that he was the fan of PJ (like me).

    Man of the Hour for the lyrics...it's so...(And the doors are open now as the bells are ringing out
    Cause the man of the hour is taking his final bow
    Goodbye for now.)


    Also Off he goes and Immortality, I don't have a reason but sometimes these songs can be so sad.

  • Ed's sad little face during Thumbing My Way at the HOB 2003 show always gets to me.

    Light years and Last Kiss make me cry...

    ds
    And no one sings me lullabyes
    And no one makes me close my eyes
    So I throw the windows wide
    And call to you across the sky....
  • "Thumbing my way" I was at home, alone and thinking how sad is this song..

    I have a couple that, while they typically don't make me cry, bring tears to my eyes - Pink Floyd's 'Wish You Were Here', Pearl Jam's 'Black', the Beatles' 'Let it Be', and while it doesn't make me cry, 'Masters of War' by Bob Dylan (and Pearl Jam) has always been a song that makes me think and depressed.

  • The last song that made me cry was "You Had Time" by Ani Difranco, and the last Pearl Jam song that made me cry was "Man Of The Hour"

    wow, that video is so sad. i also know almost nothing about johnny cash but i know this song is truly beautiful. The video, basically a flashback of his life, is just so unreal. knowing he died shortly after making it adds also to the power of the song, but its just so beautiful, the song by itself can make me cry every time i hear it

    Same here, I get real emotional over that tune

    I knew nothing about him but that song (& the video for once actually adds to the song)
    now i'm right into him, the essential collection is pretty good
    Johnny Cash is a LEGEND!!!

    Also the Boss' American Skin (41 shots) made me cry just today.
    Also any song that is made/sung by someone who is no longer alive anymore gives me a little teary - Lennon, Nina Simone, Jimi, even a Bonham or Moon the Loon drum solo
    I had it all once I gave it back
  • Simple Twist of Fate, Bob Dylan
    I want someone soo bad it hurts...Then this song came on!
    It doesnt hurt.... when I bleed
    but memories...they eat me
    I've seen it all before,...
    bring it on cause I'm no victim.

    I lost my best friend to suicide and although 6 years have passed, the emotions are still raw....

    Say Hello to Heaven

    Please, mother mercy
    Take me from this place
    And the long winded curses
    I keep hearing in my head
    Words never listen
    And teachers never learn
    Now I'm warm from the candle
    But I feel too cold to burn
    He came from an island
    And he died from the street
    He hurt so bad like a soul breaking
    But he never said nothing to me
    So say hello to heaven

    New like a baby
    Lost like a prayer
    The sky was your playground
    But the cold ground was your bed
    Poor stargazer
    She's got no tears in her eyes
    Smooth like whisper
    She knows that love heals all wounds with time
    Now it seems like too much love
    Is never enough, you better seek out
    Another road 'cause this one has
    Ended abrupt, say hello to heaven

    I never wanted
    To write these words down for you
    With the pages of phrases
    Of things we'll never do
    So I blow out the candle, and
    I put you to bed
    Since you can't say to me
    Now how the dogs broke your bone
    There's just one thing left to be said
    Say hello to heaven


    I'm on the verge of tears now.....

    Agreed. This video does it for me as well, and his wife being in it but dying before it's release then him dying soon after, it was like a good bye from him...chills...
