    A friend danced with her brother at her wedding to this. Their father had passed years ago. Not one single dry eye in the joint!!!

    IMHO - the Jeff Buckley version of Hallelujah is the best - closely followed by K.D. Lang. Nobody else should be allowed to sing it.
    What about Leonard Cohen himself?

    P.S. Buckley's version is definitive but I've never really thought of that song as sad...more revelatory.

    Elton John - The Last Song...for anyone who has seen the movie "And the Band Played On" would understand this. The music video is pretty sad too.

    Over You - Miranda Lambert

    ...and the winner that makes me cry no matter when or how often I hear it...The Christmas Shoes by Alabama. Ugh!! Anyone have a tissue??

    I was going to say Christmas shoes!
    I am not a fan of the song but also,
    If I Die Young by The Band Perry... I thought of my mom so it made me cry

    "If You're Reading This" by Tim McGraw.

    I cry every time I hear it. It came out during my baby brother's first deployment to Iraq.

    Coldplay- Fix You.


    heartbreaking.

    also see: The Fray- How to Save a life.

    can't listen to either of them.

    Another song I will NEVER listen to again: Sarah McLachlan- Arms of the Angel

    Yes. For the first year or so after it was released, I'd cry every single time.

    Ryan Adams is pretty great at breaking my heart... "Chicago", "La Cienega Just Smiled", "Hey Mrs. Lovely" ...
    Ray Lamontagne as well-- "Empty" stabs me in the chest.
