"Puff, The Magic Dragon". It made me cry when I heard it on CAPTAIN KANGAROO 40 years ago. Still does today.

OMG, someone else said "Stole" by kelly rowland. That song is so sad, but i didn't think anyone else would say it.

i agree with nztheatreluva on all three of their song choices.

I also want to add "The Wings Beneath my Wings" by Bette Midler, especailly in the movie, Beaches. That is my favorite movie.

I have to agree with the 9/11 remix of heaven. How could that not be the saddest song ever? That poor little girl talkig to her daddy. I am tearing up just thinking about it.

"I Grieve" by Peter Gabriel. It's sad to me for very personal reasons, but I think it can be sad for a lot of other people for different reasons.

still fighting it- ben folds.

wake me up when september ends-green day. I've never even seen the video. but the song is about his dad dying from cancer, and it puts the song in a whole new place when you know what he was actually writing about.

That Green Day video is pretty cool...

Theres a song used in Donnie Darko that makes me want to go curl up and cry....I can't remember the name of it.

And I agree with ALL the Tori songs. She may be the master of emotional music...

"Sand and Water - Beth Nielson Chapman

[EverythingIsRENT]

Posted: 10/16/05 at 12:36pm

a country song called "Almost Home" I can 't remember who sings it...but basically the song is a man wakes up a homeless guy to give him money and to give him something warm because the guy is freezing...and the homeless man just says he wished he hadn't woken him up because in his dream, he was back with his family and was warm and happy and he was 'almost home'. It absoloutely kills me.

That, and "There You'll Be" by Faith Hill. It reminds me of my grandmothers illness and death, and I can't listen to that song without breaking down.

Radiohead - "No Surprises" and "Morning Bell"
Don McLean - "Vincent"
Taditional spiritual - "All My Trials."
Jeff Buckley - "Hallelujah" (written by Leonard Cohen...but it's Buckley's version that gets to me.)

MagictoDo,

That song is called "mad world" and it is amazing.

I've never seen Donnie Darko....is it the original Tears For Fears version of "Mad World" (from The Hurting) or is that cover I've heard...don't know who it's by. I adore the original. I even have that album on vinyl. (Yep, I'm that old!)

"The Song Remembers When"
"It Only Hurts When I Breathe"

They both make my cry.

[Forester]

Hurt - Johnny Cash's version. The video really hit me, especially after he died.

Biko - Peter Gabriel. Saw him sing this song during the Nelson Mandela concert festival in Cape Town, South Africa. The whole stadium was quite and raised their fist to the air in respect to this man. It was a very moving site.

"My One True Friend" by Bette Midler

It hits home for me and I lose it every time.

[Jon]

"A Better Place to Be" by the late great Harry Chapin. It makes me cry every time I hear Chapin sing it.

On the other hand, when a revue of Chapin songs was produced in Chicago, and Off-Broadway about 20 years ago, the song didn't work forme at all. It's a story song, and the performers sort of "acted it out". I had an image in my head of what the characters in the story looked like, and the performers in the revue just didn't match the image. It was disappointing.

nztheatreluva, newsong sings "the christmas shoes." that song made me cry, and then i went and watched the movie. oh man, i was sobbing!

also the song at the end of Ladder 49 called "Shine Your Light." i was already sobbing at the end, but the song made it worse. then i watched the special feature music video, oh man. when it just showed his wife walking, sitting on the bus, and sitting at home alone crying is just SO sad!!
