In a good way.
You know:   that song sung by that artist that pulls all kinds of emotion out of you.

The first one for me was when I heard Eva Cassidy sing Sting's Fields of Gold. It still can make me cry.

Last night on American Idol < yep, I'm an AI junkie > Lee sang Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. I have loved this song as long as I can remember and it touches when I hear it. But this kid blew me away, I got all blubbery. I'll link it at the end, but I'm curious, who can invoke that kind of raw emotion for you ?

This may belong in P&RS, not sure, but Mods will move it if it does.

In My Daughter's Eyes..

"My Way" by Frank Sinatra used to be.  For one, it reminded me of my dad, especially after he died.  My son chose it for our dance at his wedding last year, and I had a good cry dancing with him then.  Unfortunately, she turned out to be an immature twat and they've already separated, so now it's a little bitter for me, lol.  I need a new one.

I cried when i first saw Susan Boyle sing. There was something about the dumpy little badly dressed woman singing about dreams that caught my heart strings.

I also bawled my eyes out at the theater when the chandaler went up at the beginning of the Phantom of the Opera. I had dreamt about going to a show in the West End of London since i was a kid - and i was ACTUALLY there!!!!!!

Music has the power to make me emotional.

Eric Clapton - Holy Mother

None of the live versions available on You Tube are as good as the studio recording from "August". This is probably the best live version out there. This is my all time favorite song by Eric Clapton written by Eric and Stephen Bishop. It is a tribute to keyboardist Richard Manuel of The Band who committed suicide in 1986.

mb, the Eva Cassidy song is incredible, I agree.

These don't necessarily make me cry, but they hit some emotional spots pretty hard:

Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns - Mother Love Bone
Fiddler's Green - The Tragically Hip
Handbags and Gladrags - Rod Stewart
The Long and Winding Road - The Beatles

And, ever since George Harrison's death, Ringo Starr doing "Photograph".

My heart will go on, celine dion. I had a good friend commit suicide and they played it at the funeral. I can't hear the song without crying now.

In a good way: Sittin on the dock of the bay...again, for whom it reminds me of.

"Willin'", by Little Feat. Don't know why. Nostalgia. Lost loves. Broken hearts.

Sarah McLachlan- Full of Grace. Not in a good way, but it does make me cry.

Hot Chocolate - Emma

I have a stage play which is a comedy, which opened in 1995 in Gdansk, Poland performed by a group of students. One of those students was Joanna, who joined the cast with her boyfriend and childhood sweetheart and who was battling at the time with clinical depression. The opening performance was at a theatre festival. A little over a week before the festival Joanna committed suicide. Her best friend took her place in the cast and the opening was a success. But we played this song for some time after the performances.

Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton

Several years later with a different theatre I opened the same play in Gdynia, a city just north of Gdansk in a performance to honour David, an 8 year old boy dying of brain cancer who had a dream of spending a day with a theatre. Full credit to the then local authorities and President of the city of Gdynia, who provided a venue and funded the performance. David met us at the station with his mother and was with us throughout the rehearsals, we then went off to MacDonalds for a meal, and then he spent time with us backstage, watching the performance from the wings.

He died a week later.
