Listening to " The Light In The Piazza " that music is so beautiful it actually
brings me to tears. How about music that makes you cry with it's beauty ?

For some reason that one ultra-sad torch song in what is an upbeat comedy-musical does it for me. *shrug*

I agree 100% about piazza. That music is just so rapturous it brings me to tears as well.

Specifically "Say It Somehow".

The I Love You Song from Spelling Bee

The very end of Les Mis

As soon as Valjean sings "On this page, I write my last confession..." the tears start

I even sometimes tear up listening to the recordings at that point -- especially the Paris cast with Robert Marien

As of today, any sort of beautiful love song can put me on the verge.

Slipping Through My Fingers- Mamma Mia

Some of Les Miserables' music made me tear up a little. I saw Lea Salonga sing "I Dream a Dream" - she did such a beautiful job that i cried a little. I think I also cried a bit during "Little Fall of Rain." I'm not usually one to cry during sad moments in shows, but the cast did such a wonderful job getting into their parts!

Oh, and I forgot to list BARE on there. As amateur as some of BARE is, it struck an undeniable chord with me. I actually cannot listen to the recording anymore because it puts me back in such a bad place.

"Role of a Lifetime"
"No Voice"
"A Quiet Night at Home"
"Ever After"
"Touch my Soul"
"Once Upon a Time"

and more.

""Lot's Wife" from CAROLINE OR CHANGE is one of those."

Interesting. For a long time that was the only song I could cite that I'd literally cried from listening to it.
