    "Chasing Cars' by Snow Patrol was playing on the radio after I found out I had cancer...I usually want to cry when I hear that song because it puts me right back in that place...powerful song.

    "God gave me you" by Blake Shelton makes me think of my husband, it was our first dance at our wedding :)

    "There goes my life" by Kenny Chesney does it everytime too, brings me back to a painful spot that I went through when this song was popular.

    Viva Forever by the Spice Girls. I lost a dog to cancer and had to have it put down at the time of the song's release. Everytime I hear it I still get a lump in my throat because of it. Also another one of their songs, Goodbye, they released that one after Geri Halliwell left the group. Same effect on me. Go fig. :cry:

    Dear Mama - Tupac
    Song from Prince of Egypt - When you Believe
    Song from Fighting Temptations - The one they sing at the Gospel singing challenge at the end of the movie. For some reason, this song gets me crying the ugly, snotty cry!
    The House that made me (I think that's the name) - Miranda Lambert

    "The House That Built Me" - great song :)
    Her song "Never Get Over You" that she and Blake Shelton wrote gets me every time, too. I can't hear this song without thinking of my cousin who committed suicide last year.
    "If You're Reading This" - Tim McGraw
    "Just A Dream" - Carrie Underwood
    Pretty much any song by Snow Patrol

    I'm a big sap, what can I say? :)

    Our lady peace - 4am

    When my best friend was shot in a drive by.. I .. I just.. this song was on loop for months...

    If I don't make it known that
    I've loved you all along
    Just like the sunny days that
    We ignore because
    We're all dumb and jaded
    And I hope to god I figure out
    What's wrong

    Blind Pilot- next town from me always makes me cry.

    We'll tie it down
    Wait it out
    Hope our memories hold
    A lead-white nail
    Driven down
    A hundred years ago
    Feeling wheels on my old road
    Feeling bought for what I sold
    I had a dream you were two towns from me
    Got to sleep, spent the whole night running

    Any music makes me emotional now. Just cant seem to listen to a song now. I have tried many times to play a song and focus on listening to it but I stop it midway because its painful. Personal bull****...dont bother asking.


    Anyway, back when I used to listen to music...

    1. Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division (something about that song...you can feel the heartache)
    2. While My Guitar Gently Weeps (every single ****ing version)
    3. Jumpin Jack Flash (this always used to kick me into an emotional high...)
    4. California Dreamin'

    just to name a few

    From This Moment On & I Hope You Dance - 2 songs I used in a slide show for my daughters graduation last year

    Silent Night
    It Came Upon a Midnight Clear
    O Holy Night
    Pretty much any Christmas song - especially sung by Josh Grobin

    Amazing Grace

    And lastly (but certainly not leastly), anything patriotic but especially the National Anthem & God Bless the USA

    "I'll Stand By You" by the Prentenders. I love to sing along, but can never finish the song because it chokes me up EVERY TIME.

    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.
    love that song too, tragedy!
    For me one is Guns N Roses; Knockin' on Heavens Door- my stepdad loved that song and he passed away a few years ago.
    also Bob Marley; No Women No Cry- my mom played bob marley loud in the mornings when I was young , she lives far and I moved out when I was 16 so its been 15 years away from my mom with maybe 9 visits (it sucks!)
    when I was missing my first love due to long distance relationship; Ozzy: see you on the other side, he played this song a lot when we were together (we have been together for 17 years now)

    "Hold Your Hand" by the Beatles. Every time I hear it, I reminds me of how I met my wife for the first time.
