I like In My Life a whole big bunch. Doesn’t make me cry…just love it.
I’m with Junebug. I love Iz’s music. Hawaiian music in general makes me weepy because I just love it there.
Eva Cassidy’s version of “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” makes me weep. It was like listening to that song for the first time ever.

When I was in university, I had told my roommate about Tears in Heaven, which had just been released. We waited for it to come on the radio, and after she heard it she WAILED! Full-on sobbed “that’s soooo sad!!”
I have a couple write in’s, “Everybody Hurts” by REM, “Brick” by Ben Folds Five, and “Sour Suite” by The Guess Who. Sad sad sad. *sniff*
My mom always cries to “The Heart of the Matter” by Don Henley, and “In the Living Years” by Mike and the Mechanics. (Positively 4th Street, by Dylan is her angry song!)

I belive the movie was: “For The Boys”. It was a most excellent movie.

Whenever I hear “Batdance” by Prince I burst into tears.
Also True Love Waits (Radiohead) is good.

None of the Listed Few give my throat the lumpies, but there are tunes that overwhelm my Manly Manliness. To be honest, it's actually not too hard to broach those barricades, but one does like to keep up appearances.

The songs on my own list would include After The Rain by Blue "no, it's probably just allergies or something" Rodeo, the cover of Wild Horses by The "that wasn't a sniff, it was a sneeze" Sundays, and That's How Strong My Love Is by Otis "I hope everyone else leaves the cinema before the lights come on" Redding.

Oh, and Dancing With Tears In My Eyes by "I can't come up with another funny nickname" Ultravox--it ain't the song itself, but the memory of that damn 80s music video of the guy rushing home to dance with his wife before a nuclear meltdown takes out the city. Come on, I'm not made of steel.

Hey, I am the Anonymous up there with the happy The Boxer comment. I didn’t feel anonymous at the time. I had no idea.
Me! It was I!

Ok, from your list I’ll vote for Tears from Heaven. However, the song that chokes me up each and every time I hear it is God Bless the USA by Lee Greenwood.
