Natalie Imbruglia - Fun

Boys of Summer - DJ Sammy (For some odd reason)

 

That was one of my favorite songs in my youth!

Very nostalgic...

P!Nk - f***in' Perfect - the video made me cry, and one of the days I heard it on the radio, my 'best friend' had spread a horrible rumour about me :(

Daniel Powter - Bad Day - Dunno why this makes me cry :/

Girls Aloud - Untouchable - The week it didn't make top 10, I cried my eyes out :/ One time at a club, that came on, and I sorta started crying, and all my friends were like 'what's wrong?' and I said 'there's something in my eye :lol:

Madonna - You Must Love Me

 

Oh yes :cry:

 

More:

 

Anastacia - Underground Army

Within Temptation - Our Farewell, Memories, All I Need,

Sheryl Crow - Always On Your Side

Kylie Minogue - Ocean Blue

Madonna - One More Chance

Katie Melua - What I Miss About You

 

I get emotional very easily :lol:

No songs make me cry, or really emotional, but everytime I listen to this track it just makes me think of everything good/bad in my life. It's pretty long, and there are no lyrics in it, but it just such a beautifully composed piece of music.

 

Girls Aloud - Untouchable - The week it didn't make top 10, I cried my eyes out :/

 

Why do I find this hilarious?

Justin Bieber- Baby :kink:

That was one of my favorite songs in my youth!

Very nostalgic...

I'd struggle to describe the Don Henley original as being from my youth :drama:

P!nk usually hits the nail on the head when it comes to tugging on the heartstrings, songs is particular are:

 

I don't Believe You (such a heartbreaking song, and video)

Who Knew (that last chorus gets me everytime)

Glitter In The Air (beautiful yet simple lyrics, loved it on the album, and the live performances brought it to new levels)

Dear Mr. President (I guess I agree with a lot of what she sings in this song, and even if you don't its still a very emotional track, and that video that plays behind her during concerts is pretty sad)

F**king Perfect (great song, great message, and same with the video can't help but get choked up)

 

Other songs that have have made me emotional:

 

S Club 7 - Say Goodbye (i know, i know, its S Club 7 but that song was really sad)

Kelly Clarkson - Already Gone

Avril Lavigne - When You're Gone (the video is so sad)

Alicia Keys - ESOM Part II (just love her voice and her lyrics on this)

Robyn - Be Mine (perfect song during a bad time for me)

Kylie Minogue - I Believe In You (ballad version) (when i saw her in NYC she sang this version and it was so beautiful)

B*witched - It Was Our Day (haven't listened to this in a while, but this song was about Edele and Keavy's grandmother who passed away so it was a pretty touching song)

Justin Bieber- Baby :kink:

really :lol:

Coldplay- Fix You :cry: :cry: :cry:

Sigur Ros- Hoppipolla :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Johnny Cash- Hurt :cry: :cry:

Coldplay- The Scientist :cry: :cry:

 

all seriously goosebump inducing records :wub: :wub:

 

and this sounds pathetic- but the song, Mandy as it brings back memories of when I was very young and had a babysitter, and it somehow reminded me of her at the time and I got quite emotional :snif: :blush:

 

We have similar taste!

 

Hoppipolla doesn't make me cry, but it is my favourite song of all time. It gets me emotional, but in a good way.

 

Fix You would be up there.

 

I've never cried to a song, but these ones get me close......

 

Set The Fire To The Third Bar by Snow Patrol

Time by Hans Zimmer

Tornado by Jónsi

Transatlanticism by Death Cab For Cutie (I'm from Ireland, but am living in America, so I listen to it and think of my friends from home)

Hometown Glory by Adele (This was playing on repeat on my iPod just after I left my roommates of three years in Ireland to move to America two years ago)

Breathe Me by Sia (which I'm convinced has the exact same piano track as Hometown Glory, just in a different key)

Your Hand In Mine by Explosions In The Sky

Remember Me As A Time Of Day by Explsoions In The Sky

Deus Ex Machina by If These Trees Could Talk

Stokkseyri by Jónsi & Alex

Breathe Me by Sia (which I'm convinced has the exact same piano track as Hometown Glory, just in a different key)

YES! I've noticed that too, thought it must've just been incredibly similar though.

'Breathe Me' is probably the song I consider to be the most emotional for me, along with Ludovico Einaudi's 'Nuvole Binoche'.

Looks like its just female vocals that do it for me :lol:, all of those songs are just heart-wrenching.

We have similar taste!

 

Hoppipolla doesn't make me cry, but it is my favourite song of all time. It gets me emotional, but in a good way.

 

Fix You would be up there.

 

yeah, sad music is probably my favourite kind- its just so emotional and makes you feel something- Hoppipolla does work both ways really- It can make you feel happy and sad if you know what I mean

Eva Casiidy - Somewhere Over The Rainbow

No songs make me cry, or really emotional, but everytime I listen to this track it just makes me think of everything good/bad in my life. It's pretty long, and there are no lyrics in it, but it just such a beautifully composed piece of music.

 

Totally agree with you, Michael Giacchino's score is so beautiful and moving. Plus, it helps me to forget how crap Lost became. Although my personal favourite theme is probably Parting Words or Life and Death. In general scores tend to make me more emotional than most songs.

 

Time by Hans Zimmer

Another track that gets me, I think I must have has this on loop after I got back from watching the movie.

 

A few others then:

 

Lisa Gerrard - End Theme

 

Very ethereal and powerful and one of my favourite movie themes. Fun fact: she's not singing in a different language, she's just making it up. She's Australian.

 

 

Bear McCreary - Admiral and Commander

 

 

Along with Michael Giacchino, Bear McCreary pretty much revolutionised the way television shows could be scored, although in my opinion the themes in Battlestar Galactica are more moving than the ones created for Lost. This being my favourite.

 

Sia - Breathe Me

 

 

Also, Breathe Me by Sia is a song that never fails to get me going, especially now that I have it forever connected to the end of Six Feet Under, when they used it for their final scene. Even if you haven't watched the show, I would urge you to watch it, simply because it works in it's own right and is incredibly moving. The best example of a song being used for a montage, perhaps ever?

 

 

Also, pretty much every song ever created by Robyn.

I forgot to mention Rihanna - The Last Song. So stunning!
