    Yes, I know I'm weird because these songs arent that sad. But they all relate to my life in a big way and ''Catch me'' is by far the most depressing for me, Then ''Alright'', then ''How to save a life''.

    ^This was played at my grandmother's funeral, who I was very close to. So, this makes me tear up when I hear it.

    ^This one is a tear-jerker as well.

    Yeah, they're both country songs, but that's what this genre is all about.

    ^ Alicia Keys could sing names from a phone book and I'd still pay to hear it.

    This amazing woman's rendition of Tool's Wings for Marie. The whole Daylight Dims part just makes me cry because of the things I attribute to it, and how beautiful it is. I love her.

    I agree with OP's posting of Johnny Cash's version of Hurt. I love the NIN original, and that song has a certain kind of emotional powerhouse in it, but Cash's version brings new meaning to it, and when the song just starts building up, it's like emotionally overwhelming, especially while watching the video.

    I know it may be cliche, but "Over The Rainbow" does it everytime. Judy Garland was such a treasure:

    Of all the versions of this song there are, I think Stephanie Mills sings this song the best - "Home" from The Wiz....gets me emotional each time I hear it.

    How could I have forgotten this song =( One of my favorite songs ever.

    [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4447lT5GQOk[/YOUTUBE]

    This too, their cover of this song is just really powerful, and I remember when it was all over the radio back in the late 90s. It's just really sad =(

    [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoqXDPbivFs[/YOUTUBE]

    Shit, I'm going to be adding songs all day now xD Especially the climax of this song, it's just really powerful =/

    [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVI254QGSQ4[/YOUTUBE]

    Again, it's probably the Hopeless Romantic in me, and certain circumstances in which this song has appeared in my life, that just makes me cry each time.

    This is probably the saddest song I know:

    This one also tends to make me a bit teary-eyed. (It's embedding-disabled, so you'll need to click on it to see it.)

    The song starts after 1 min and the sound is not great (this video has 11 years) but it's one of my favourite french song and I really like this duo.

    I think it just hit me hard because I was just having a difficult time with my friends and it just sorta hit home with the lyrics, not all that emotional of a song though.

    Any Five for Fighting Song :thumbsup:

    Hmm I guess I did more "touching" than cry, but I'm not really much of a crier so I guess this is close

    I don't know if they'll make you cry but they are touching and sometimes bring tears to my eyes.
