1. I frequently cry to Patrick Park's "Something Pretty".

2. Explosion in the Sky's "The Only Moment We Were Alone"

'Come Back To Camden' from Morrissey's most recent gets me a little dewey eyed. As does Orange Juice's 'Dying Day' (possible my favourite song ever).

But then I cried when Goose died in Top Gun. It really doesn't need much to get me going.

Denison Witmer's Safe Away album is a heart-breaker. It's just a sad-sounding album anyways, then the story behind it just makes you want to die.

The Smiths--There is a light that never goes out.

'Course, I second konstantinl's weepy admission. Commercials can break me down. Remember that one where the guy is in the airport and he's talking to his little girl? Sniff!

Shipbuilding. I'm a sucker, though. There's more, just not off the top of my head.

i dont really "cry", but i guess the song that gets me closest to crying is the drugs dont work by the verve.

Holy crap.

Too much makes me cry.

1. Last Goodbye-Jeff Buckley
2. In the sun-Joseph Arthur
3. Speed of Light-Joseph Arthur
4. Wind through the Trees-Ed Harcourt
5. happy- the wrens( more like an angry cry)
6. women and men-Josh Rouse
7.it doesn't make any difference-Todd Rundgren ( I can cry like a baby when I play this song, I think I play it just to torture myself sometimes)
8. Cannonball-Damien Rice
9. Amie-Damien Rice (something about his voice on this one, it's as if someone has been torturing him days straight, guess that's the point but...)

10. Drop-Red House Painters( I used to sit in the dark and get drunk listening this on repeat over and over crying. Did this for a month about 2 and a half years ago.)

11. Cry On demand-Ryan Adams
12. Company-Rickie Lee Jones
13. Nothing Hurts Now-Magnet

Ok, I think that will do. :roll:

Yup, though certain songs will make me cry at certain times. Might be the Avenue Q soundtrack, might be watching DJ Shadow perform "Blood On The Motorway." It keeps changing...

Sanctuary - Luka Bloom
Red Chord - the Frames

Postmersh · **Posted:** Tue Jan 04, 2005 7:11 pm

"Red House Painters" (the longer one) and just about any song off of "Either/Or" always make me sad...
I have a standing "No Elliott Smith" treaty w/certain friends, as they know it makes me all melancholy and moody...
This last album is the only one that didn't hit me that way...

haven't cried in at least 20 years - but about half of the Cure's Wish album makes me sad - not so much because of the songs as the relation they have to a bad relationship...

The Same Deep Water As You- The Cure
A Fond Farewell- Elliott Smith

shaMoxie · **Posted:** Tue Jan 04, 2005 7:24 pm

Sufjan's 'Sister' & B. Callahan's 'Cold Discovery' have brought on the waterworks. Several episodes of Extreme Make-overs have broken me, too. I feel.

yeah the beginning especially, it kinda gets a little less depressing when it gets to the repeated mantra "Never Coming Down" part.

splates · **Posted:** Tue Jan 04, 2005 7:27 pm

also Cash's cover of 'Hurt'

Joy Division - 'Decades'

and Big Star's 'Holocaust'

Elvis Fu · **Posted:** Tue Jan 04, 2005 8:27 pm

Warren Zevon, "Keep Me In Your Heart"
Sometimes when your doing simple things around the house, maybe you'll think of me and smile

Paul Westerberg, "Lush and Green" along with "Skyway" and "Here Comes A Regular".

Count me in on Johnny Cash and Big Star, too.

Cute. Real cute.

I never said I was stalking someone I was just sitting alone being sad.

Big difference. :roll:

I don't have a sense of humor today. Sorry. It went out the window while I was getting a pelvic ultrasound earlier. :cry:

Ouch. Hope you found it was nothing to worry about.

Nina Simone makes me a little weepy.
Sinead O'Connor, too. 'Black Boys on Mopeds' a sure-fire cryer.

One of the songs on REMs Out of Time used to get me, Texarkana I think.
