    It depends what mood I am in. Some songs that I absolutely love will never make me cry. Sometimes I will be taken by surprise and find myself choking up unexpectedly.

    I can say that pretty much every song from Dire Straits' Making Movies album has 'got' to me at some stage, even my least favourite track, Les Boys, because of the lines 'drive in their Mercedes Benz/to a disco bar in old Munchen' (it is very evocative). I can also say that about some of the tracks from Brothers In Arms, particularly the title track and Why Worry. Similarly with solo songs like Sailing To Philadelphia - that gets me where it hurts, every time.

    As far as the Eagles are concerned I can be moved to tears by No More Cloudy Days quite often. I would say the same about You Are Not Alone, It's Your World Now and I Love To Watch A Woman Dance. Lyin' Eyes can occasionally make me cry if I get really swept away by it.

    Others would include Carry That Weight & The End by the Beatles and occasionally good ol' Stairway To Heaven and possibly Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.

    One of the list in my Music Listography book was the Saddest songs. They don't always make me cry but... Here's what I have.


    Boondocks -Little Big Town (yes I know it's a country song-but it reminds me of home when I was a kid)
    Grandpa -The Judds (another country tune-played at my Dad's funeral)
    Tears In Heaven -Eric Clapton
    Wish You Were Here -Pink Floyd
    Cat's In The Cradle -Harry Chapin
    Eleanor Rigby -The Beatles
    A Change Is Gonna Come -Sam Cooke
    The Needle And The Damage Done -Neil Young (reminds me of a friend)
    Tuesday's Gone -Lynyrd Skynyrd
    Simple Man -Lynyrd Skynyrd

    I also cry at times when I hear the National Anthem, America or the Marine Corps Hymn.

    There are songs that I cry when I hear if I'm in a melancholy mood also.
    I cried each time I saw How Long live in concert -not because it's sad but because I was so FRICKIN' happy!!

    This is a special circumstance, but this song made me cry pretty hard when Bette Midler performed it right after 9/11 for a crowd of New Yorkers including rescue workers:

    And speaking of Superbowl performances in another thread, this is the only halftime show that ever made me cry, again after 9/11:
