Thanks. If Torn Curtain is reading this, give them a go. They sound like your kind of band.

Legendary Pink Dots - Laguna Beach
Felt - The Stagnant Pool

I have gotten choked up at live performances by Legendary Pink Dots, Spiritualized, Tom Rapp and Martyn Bates.

sarramkrop 02.14.2008 01:24 PM

Martyn Bates, there's another name I have never seen mentioned on here before.

I don't know how much crossover traffic this place gets from the Eyeless In Gaza bbs.

That's the real shit right there.

In a very similar vein - Brad Paisley & Alison Krauss - Whiskey Lullaby; Dolly Parton - Down from Dover; Laura Cantrell - Bees; Carter Family - Chewing Gum; Helen Love - Does your heart go boom?; Britney Spears - Lucky; Kenny Rogers - Lucille; Willie Nelson - Can I sleep in your arms tonight lady?; Diamanda Galas - Si la Madre [sp?].

Ok, they're not all country, but they do all make me weep like a child. I cry a lot, it's great fun.

hank's "i'm so lonesome i could cry", anyone?

(and by "anyone" i mean Glice).

Glice 02.14.2008 01:32 PM

Hank Williams goes without saying, I would've thought.

Glice 02.14.2008 01:34 PM

Although it's Wayfaring Stranger/ I just told mama goodbye/ Wanderin' man... actually, all of them. Hank is about as heart-rending as it gets. He's done one song - one song, in total, in all of his recordings, that I cannot abide (hey good lookin').

Luke the Drifter! My life.

I swear I was listening to ''Litanies Of Satan'' by Diamanda the other day while I was reading a Jade Goody interview, and I suddenly started seeing things on the walls. Ok, I was also a little stoned, I admit. Bates' ''The Look Of Love'' is a little gem for those with their heart torn.

The Smiths - I KNOW IT'S OVER
that song reallly gets to me man. it is just such a tale of despair, of wanting to quit on life, or life quitting on you. I sing it and I start to weep sometimes.

Codeine - 3 ANGELS
Once when I was driving home from work when I lived ion Austin, I was listening to this album and this song specifically and I started just out and out crying. no sobbing, no labored breathing, just buckets pouring out of my eyes. it really freaked me out.

Thanks for the recommendation, they're precisely one of bands/musicians I wanted to check out.

The more I think about it, the more there are. I could probably name a hundred songs.....

I seriously got choked up the first time I saw Low - at a tiny bar in Norman, OK for three dollars. I had never heard them or even heard of them before. They were touring on I Could Live In Hope and I thought they might kill me. I was one of twelve there. This is one of the best shows I have ever been to for that reason. Still one of the top ten shows I have seen.

PAULYBEE2656 02.14.2008 03:24 PM

james blunt- anything...
i cry for the sake of human kind

batreleaser 02.14.2008 04:41 PM

daniel johnston-funeral

"got me a coffin, shinging and black, im goin to a funeral and im never coming back", on the record he literally starts crying while singing this. hes one of the best singer songwriters of all time, in my opinion he ranks with tom waits, patti smith, and leanord cohen.

My Bloody Valentine - Sometimes

EMMAh 02.14.2008 05:58 PM

Where Did You Sleep Last Night, doesn't matter which version.
Not really because of the lyrics or anything, just because it reminds me of someone who sings it all the time.
