Music that moves you to tears
I stole this topic but I think it will be handy for scoping out some great music.
What songs have brought you to tears and created other strong emotional impact.

Tears- These Three Words- Stevie Wonder(how many times do you tell your family, friends etc that you love them? Very moving)
Fear- For You- Staind (scares the beejeezus outta me because I fear not connecting with my child to the point that is displayed in this song....parents worst nightmare)

Probably the only song that has ever done so...
That, and anything by Britney Spears. Makes me weep like a baby.
Not mix, though. Some mix is cool. Just leave the vocals out.
Night on Bald Mountain, Mussorsky (?)
Mars, the Bringer of War, from Holst' Planets.
The New Hebrides Overture (cartoon music), by I can't remember.
<strong>When I'm feeling rejected, I'll sometimes listen to "Last Night I Dreamt" by the Smiths.
Great Intro.</strong><hr></blockquote>
The whole song is great, not just the intro.
Death of a Disco Dancer by the Smiths does it for me though.
parts of Ravel's 'Daphnis and Chloe'
Charles Ives 'The Unanswered Question'
and parts of his 2nd Symphony, specially the first movement. And the last chord of this pieces always reduces me to tears (of laughter!)
Allegri: "Miserere"
Many of Debussy's solo piano pieces
Parts of Elgar's Enigma Variations
lots more, can't think right now
but a few that have come close are
How to disappear completly -radiohead
the color of fire - Boards of canada(not because its sad though...but because its amazingly beautiful)
sung by Emmylou Harris on the album "Wrecking Ball"Â* (1995)

Good choice.
Levi Stubbs' Tears- Billy Bragg
It's only two verses (and they're short ones), but it's something I could imagine saying to someone.
It's those simple things sometimes that get you...
Earle does it with a couple of acoustic guitars, mandolin, stand-up bass and harmonica.
Chills.
Goodbye
(Steve Earle)Â*Â* [1995]
I remember holdin on to you
All them long and lonely nights I put you through
Somewhere in there I'm sure I made you cry
But I can't remember if we said goodbye
(CHORUS)
But I recall all of them nights down in Mexico
One place I may never go in my life again
Was I just off somewhere just too high
But I can't remember if we said goodbye
I only miss you here every now and then
Like the soft breeze blowin; up from the Caribbean
Most Novembers I break down and cry
But I can't remember if we said goodbye
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Ouch!
SPACE LION from Cowboy bebop OST
mainly because I associate this song with the inevitable break up of the crew....and though I have never seen the last episode, I don't want it to ever happen.
