Songs that moved you to tears?

Is there a certain song that gets you reaching for the Kleenex? (Steady now) I can think of 3....well 2 in childhood. Firstly it was Puff the Magic Dragon, closely followed by Two little boys by Rolf or inmate 556431 as he is now referred to. 

But as an Adult there is only one song...David Gray's 'Shine' I don't know why, but there it is....What's yours?

Saw him do this on the same tour at the Royal Exchange in Manchester (without DG). From what I can remember, there wasn't a dry eye in the house.....

When I left my family home to come to the UK to do my A levels and degree when ever I heard "She is leaving home" by the Beatles

Out there by Dinoaur Jr. Saw them play last year and this song did bring me to tears. I had heard it was about J's Dad's death.  Couldn't help thinking about my late mother.....             Such a great song

It very much depends on what was going on at the time. These have got me in the past.

Waiting For A Girl Like You - Foreigner

Aerosmith - Don't Want To Miss A Thing

Lady Antebellum - Need You Now

And the following song is usually guaranteed to get me every time

Mike And The Mechanics - Living Years

Yes, I'm fed up with the frilly world to be honest< I'm fed up with ignorant  people's best wishes and looking out for their 'friends', I'm fed up with people who want to be in control all the time and 'Knowing' what others want and what is best for them.  I'm fed up with cunts who say they talk for others when all they are concerned about is crapping their nappies.

I'm fed up with people who can't read people but live like hollow kings and then project their angst on me because I can take it. I hate being sober.

So who else didn't get any pussy tonight?  I'm not dangerous, if people fear me then they fear themselves. All I want is cake and a cup of tea, all I get is ransacking pissed viking warrior.   Come around my house and see how long I can keep[ it up. Seriously.  Fucking prejudice. Fuck you all.  I'm sick of it.  I don't want to be here now so I'm getting fucked up all day tomorrow.

I just realised how similar it was. Stupid we are.
