Continuing with the Cranberries theme....'Ode to my family' has made my cry tears of sadness and joy!
Bryn Terfel singing ""
Words by W.S.Gwynn Williams.
I am dreaming of the mountains of my home,
Of the mountains where in childhood I would roam.
I have dwelt 'neath southern skies
Where the summer never dies,
But my heart is in the mountains of my home.
I can see the little homestead on the hill,
I can hear the magic music of the rill,
There is nothing to compare
With the love that once was there,
In that lonely little homestead on the hill.
I can see the quiet churchyard down below,
Where the mountain breezes wander to and fro.
And when God my soul will keep,
It is there I want to sleep,
With those dear old folks that loved me long ago

probably half, if not every staind song out there. i also listened to open eyes by saliva, and the tone of the song is sad to listen to. in simple terms, tough, any emotional song makes me break down and cry.

Elizabeth Fraser, the Cocteau Twins singer, also worked with Massive Attack.
Beautiful voice.

dignity is overrated
Change is Gon' Come by either Otis or Sam Cooke.

Me too, although the last time I sang it was at a funeral, which didn't help.

^^This. The Brel original. That said, La Chanson Des Vieux Amants (Song of Old Lovers) also moves me deeply.
How could I forget Les Vieux? A tale of lifetime love, beautifully phrased and utterly, utterly heartbreaking.
Shit, I'm welling up

No dialogue. Just plot.
Live Forever - Oasis. Id been at a very good friends funeral about a year & a half ago, we'd had a falling out & hadnt seen each other for a couple of years & he died without us patching things up. We both got into Oasis at the same time in 94. When i got home i put it on & all the emotion came bursting out. Havent been able to listen to them since.
Probably others over the years but that was the last one.

A bit of Joni Mitchell - 'Little Green' especially.
The live version of 'Burning down the house' sometimes makes me tearful simply by being so bloody amazing.
Strauss's 'Four Last Songs' get me every time, and there are a few songs I sing, or try to sing, that always get me: Herbet Howell's 'King David' for sheer beauty and 'Nun hast du mir den ersten schmerz' (Now you have caused me pain for the first time), the final song of Schumann's 'Frauenlieben und leben' cycle (Life and love of a woman), about the death of the husband the whole cycle is about. It's just totally devastating - I'd love to sing the cycle in concert, but I'd have to get over the last song somehow!

This one. Every time I hear it...
FUCK YOU BEECHING! MAY YOU ROT IN HELL!

OT, but that hislop thing about that was really good. Very depressing though.
When I went to the lake district recently it was nice getting that little train to staveley, a taste of what it was like once.

Was that a telly thing? I don't have a telly. I do remember as a child not being able to be be put on a train by a parent in the care of the guard and met by a rural relative any more

Yeah, last summer I think. Good programme but sad. Was called Hislop Goes Off The rails.
Are you a Bristol Rovers fan or an Everton fan? i can't figure out which...
anyway back on topic...This Woman's Work by Kate Bush always makes me well up, i don't know why. Also Hopipolla (sp?) by Sigur Ros - it's a beautiful song, i wish they hadn't released it when my dad was dying.
izz
rage, rage against the lying of the Right
spooky - cos when my dad was in a coma what came over the radio ? Knocking on heaven's door.
i kid you not.

Tears of laughter, yes.
There's this singer from Malaysia who sings in a Chinese dialect called Hakka and he sings about really silly subjects. Songs in Hakka are very rare so it's weird to listen to them. Most songs in Chinese are of the mandarin dialect or Cantonese and they are boring ballads.

Sebadoh - Soul and Fire. Beautiful.
Black heart Procession - The Letter. Beautiful.
It fucking happened again. Thank fuck for that platitude laden Monkey Wrench.
