Watching Over Me - Iced Earth
Lake of Tears - Gamma Ray

I cried after watching the final Godfather episode. Al Pacino was at his best....the part when his daughter get shot. Cruel....

Totally me and my mum both cried at the end of Cool Runnings. Dose heroic jameerkans, mon

I cried like a baby when I heard Drudkh's so-called 'folk' album. Not because of the music as such, but because I expected so much and it sucked so bad.

I used to hate watching that movie. I used to watch it everytime it was on when I was really young (like from the ages 5 - 9) and it never failed to choke me up. More embarassingly, back in the day, I saw 'Ghost' at the Cinema with my first proper girlfriend and I cried like a baby at the end. Damn women!

It's a Wonderful Life totally almost got me three or four times. Jimmy Stewart is the shiznicky.

One Last Goodbye by Anathema is one of the most beautiful yet almost unbearably sad songs ever for me. Lost Control also gets me every time, and just when I though it couldn't get any more touching, I finally found a copy of the A Moment In Time dvd... the version of the song on there is out of this world, the way Vincent literally grieves the "Yes, I am falling" etc. part instantly brought me to my knees.

Graveworm's Thorns of Desolation has to be the saddest instrumental song I've ever heard.

My Dying Bride - For My Fallen Angel. Enough said.

Many more to come in the following posts...

Oh and I agree with those taht mentioned that crying to a song may not be necessarily linked to a sad feeling inspired by the song itself, but just our of sheer emotion, so here are some tracks that affect me in such a way:

Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven
Pink Floyd - Shine on You Crazy Diamond (ok, this one is actually pretty damn sad)
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
Radiohead - many, but Street Spirit is THE shiny eyes song for me


Speaking of movies, yes, The Lion King (a masterpiece) is one hell of an emotional load. Great, great soundtrack too, everything about it really gets me.
When it comes to Disney movies, the worst one for me has to be The Fox And The Hound. I've known it for years, and still I cry (not get tears in my eyes, I mean literally cry) when the old lady sets the fox free in the forest. I love animals and I value their feelings very highly, they seem to return them more faithfully than your average human being, so I really can relate to the characters' feelings and I just can't stand it. The song that plays in the background is also totally deadly, especially when paired to a scene like this. Hell, just think about it as I write these words makes me feel rather uncomfortable.

Oh yes, I cried during The Passion of the Christ, in the scene when Mary sees Jesus falling down during the via crucis and remembers a similar scene from the past when she saw Jesus (as a child) falling and she ran to him to help him up again, as opposed to the present moment where she can't help him. Caught me completely off guard. There, I said it.

Dead Poets Society is another movie that might have made me cry, but I can't recall if I actually did right now.

Ah Mel, my second favorite "beardy anti-semitic man" as a friend described him. I made a witty remark linking him to my swish new Burzum shirt.

When Braveheart came out, many people thought Mel Gibson couldn't be a scot. And look at him now, a drunk anti-semite.

(btw, apologies to any scots here. It's a joke.)

Radagast won't mind, he's proud of his Jew-hatred.

I always cry when I hear "No, We Don't Want To Do A Split 7" With Your Stupid Fucking Band" by Anal Cunt.

My dreams were crushed.

Frankie Boyle is a funny dude

Bathory - Song to Hall up High

I deserve some severe slapping for forgetting this one in my previous post. I really do.

Agalloch-Not Unlike the Waves.

Simply because the video reminds me SO MUCH of home back in Summit County, Colorado. Pine trees, snow, vast forest and wilderness, I miss it all so much. But I'm stuck where? In the fucking desert.

Goddammit, I might start crying right now...

hmmm, maybe Ill download that instead of buying it...

All you get is recycled melodies from thier albums, played sloppily on acoustic instuments with a topping of pan-flute (or something in that category). Not a very attractive package. Which is a shame, since the spirit of their (metal-) music could have translated very well to acoustic folk had they done it properly.

Some people like it though. I guess it's a 'try before you buy' unless you're a completist.

I have all the others, but im not completist enough to buy this without hearing it.

I wanted to cry for 'Life is Beautiful', but I'm such a hardened bastard that nothing gets to me now. Bah! I haven't cried for 4 years and the last time I did was because my Ex-missus told me she'd been having an affair - cunt.

Quiet, Shylock.

Ive never Cried with songs but these ones get me close to it:

Virgin Steele - Child Of Desolation
Pagan Altar - The Eel King
Ayreon - Computer Eyes
Dream Evil - The End
