Photographs as Memories is one of my all time favourite albums.

HUM- Apollo

nobody agrees with me about daniel johnston?

Smog - Drinking at the dam
Galaxie 500 - Tell Me
Fennesz - Endless Summer
Loren Connors - All the selected airs
Low - Laser Beam
Red House Painters - Japanese to English

I'm not the biggest fan of her's, but this is a gorgeous track.

Slowdive - Alison (But she laughs and tells me it's just fine, I guess she's out there somewhere. I can't ignore that line I find it really touching)
Joy division - New dawn fades (I've walked on water, run through fire. Can't seem to feel it anymore. Oh my god)
Interpol - Leif Erikson (Has a special meaning to me)
My Bloody Valentine - Sometimes (I don't know how you could not love me now)

That's all I can think of for now.

well pretty much every Elliott Smith song makes me upset, i can't listen to him in bars or shops, i have to leave. i can only listen to him on my terms, when i decide.

but especially
Elliott Smith - Fond Farewell

because of the lyrics

"this is not my life, it's just a fond farewell to a friend
it's not what i'm like, it's just a fond farewell to a friend
who couldn't get things right, fond farewell to a friend
i see you're leaving me and taking up with the enemy
the cold comfort of the in between
a little less than a human being
a little less than a happy high
a little less than a suicide
the only things that you really tried"

From A Basement On The Hill is the most beautiful and horribly depressing album i have ever listened to. i haven't listened to it in a really long time.

You shouldnt ever feel ashamed for crying at a song. Some songs ive cried at in the past, many of them id probably roll my eyes at now, but thats just me being a dick. If it made you cry its beyond analysis really.

Songs that bring emotional thoughts
 

hahahahaha, repped!

I was sorting through a cupboard today and found a cassette that came free with Underground magazine (1988!).

One of the tracks was by the Wedding Present and it reminded me how much I used to like them , and found some of their lyrics quite moving. In particular, I loved My Favourite Dress. Although it never brought me to tears, I did have a lump in my throat whenever I listened to it.

ALL HER FAVORITE FRUIT - Camper Van Beethoven


GOODBYE TO GUYVILLE - Urge Overkill

I don't know. maybe.

ok.

devil town.

Who listens to Interpol during sex?

Agreed. Some of his songs are heartbreaking.

Johnny Cash's version of Hurt was a tearjerker when I first heard it and saw the video.
Roy Orbison is another musician that makes me weep.

Yeah I thought that about Hurt too. I think mostly because he died not long after.

Radiohead - I might be wrong
Let's go down the waterfall
Think about the good times and never look back
Never look back

When I see the sun
I hope it shines on me
And gives me everything...well, almost
Some people seem
To be just small hard peas
Sometimes I think it's me

I try so hard for bruises on your back - just to get you back
I try so hard for bruises on your back, tiny and mean
Just to get you back
Just to get you back
Just to get you back
Just to get you back

When I see the sun
I hope it shines on me
And gives me everything
To be one mile high
Then I would kill you all
What I gave to you, just meant nothing
When I see the sun
I hope it shines on me
And gives me everything
When I see the sun
I hope it shines on me
And gives me everything...well, almost

yes! beautiful song

Not quite crying when I hear these, but they are beautiful songs:
Haunted Henschel's cover of Moon River
Haunted Henschel - Deep Inside Her Bathrooms
Television - Knockin' On Heaven's Door

Never heared this, can you send me the mp3?

Sorry, I don't do those mp3 sharing things. But you can find it on "The Blow Up". It's a 2 cd live album, and also has covers of Fire Engine and Satisfaction, as well as 15 minute versions of Marquee Moon and Little Johnny Jewel.

david bowie - heroes
reminds me of someone...which makes me sad. i won't cry though.

velvet underground - ocean

Nico - Julius Caesar
Nico - Afraid
Morita Doji - Our Failure

Too many Francoise Hardy songs to name. Something in her voice slays me everytime, even if the song itself isn't particularly sad.

this too

and Eric Dolphy's rendition of Come Sunday on Iron Man.

Portishead - Roads

spiritualized sitting on fire
nick cave into my arms

the walkmen- 138th street
the strokes- the modern age
modest mouse- custom concern

you bunch of big babies. take a tazer up the a hole and then youll have something to cry about

Eclipse by Pink Floyd was one of the very few songs to actually make me cry, and it certainly rattles my spine everytime I listen to it. In fact, sometimes I cry just talking about that song.
Syd Barrett was just a sad figure.

brain damage and eclipse both

great gig in the sky too

i don't think i would actually cry but i would feel like it

+1 for "Great Gig" and "Brain Damage" here.

I actually did cry when listening to Dennis Wilson's "Mexico" last weekend - it really touched me.

hole - "northern star"
really a gem in their spotty discog.

nick drake - "fly"

I don't think music has ever made me cry, but it has certainly moved me. The most recent song to do this was Ed Kuepper's "Sleepy Head (Serene Machine)". I love the chorus with the choir:
"So please wake up you sweet sleepy head
When night time comes there's things to be said
No happy end, serene machine
If you don't act now, you'll see what I mean"

Yeah, I don't really cry but I would say Julia by the Beatles is a great one, someone said that on the first page.

Right now though, this song really does it for me, just hits me hard.

It's called Darling Be My Guest. By a band called Sovus Radio from Atlanta.

I urge you to hear this song, immediately. Listen to the whole thing. The first half will just put you in stasis, the middle will pick you up and move you, only to lead you to the very end, which brings you down farther then you started, and it's all very well organized and touching in my opinion.

Diamond Sea will make the eyes water a bit if the mood catches me right. There's a few other songs that will do likewise but I can't remember them at the moment.

sonic youth-wild flower soul sounds real sad to me, and mournful

Go make like your sig.

I agree with that

Hello you. I humbly disagree.

Yours

This board is pure WIN, my friend. You'll get the hang of the general insanity round here, though.
