Do you have any music/songs that make you emotional?

I find the Forest Gump score does for me. I used to play it to our son as an infant to help him go to sleep. Always chokes me up no matter what I'm doing or where I am when I hear it.

    Kite by U2. Listened to it frequently when my Mom was battling, and losing, to cancer. When I hear it now I immediately tear up.

    Almost anything by Thomas Newman, but especially "Whisper of a Thrill" (the main theme from Meet Joe Black).

    Eric Clapton's - Tears in Heaven.

    Doesn't make me emotional; per se... But when I hear it, I'm reminded of the tragedy that occured for him to write it (His 4 year old son's death). And that's pretty sad. It would be awefull to have that happen.

    "Baskets" by Dan Mangan. A song about growing old...makes me teary eyed every time. If you've never heard of him, look him up. He's a great Canadian singer/songwriter!

    "How Great thou Art", "Silent Night" and "you Raise Me up" by Josh Groban. Most Christmas carols get me. I'm a mess this time of year!

    anything with bagpipes-- tear right up-- my kids make fun of me, my 10 yo likes to put bagpipes on in the house just to mess with me... little b@strd.

    Me too. My mother loved them, so we had a bagpiper play at sunset at her funeral. Now I break down whenever I hear them.

    old Christmas songs.. Perry Como/Bing Crosby. reminds me of my grandma and sitting in her living room when I was a kid around the holidays. Very nostalgic.

    and a few songs by Death Cab for Cutie. Especially Transatlanticism.

    Tyrone Wells - "When All Is Said And Done"... It makes me think of my dad who passed away in '04 and first time I heard it live I just lost it! His voice and lyrics just give me chills!

    Sissy's Song - Alan Jackson

    My friend's little niece passed away a few years ago from Leukemia...she was 5. One of her relatives made a slide show set to this song. Ever since I saw that video...by the time I get to the first chorus & I'm toast.

    Fake It by Seether. It makes me want to kick some *kitten*. It sorta works like a punching bag when someone has pissed me off.
