on the train to Manchester. It was really beautiful, I was pretty lost in it and was possibly thinking I might cry.

Or, in general- the Half Man Half Biscuit song 99% Of Gargoyles Look Like Bob Todd is always strangely emotional because the non-sequiter lyrics are lent a genuine profoundity by the somehow transcendently sad music.

I haven't been moved to tears by a song in quite a while thinking about it, I'm a cold numb beast...

...I was close with Bruno Renno's Get Lost (Lounge Mix) it kinda samples that stand by me track and turns it into a big sweeping atmospheric balearic tune, its beautiful.

It really does pack an emotional punch. I've never cried to it though - in fact, I never really cry at anything. My girlfriend showed me The Notebook last night and I still didn't shed a tear. I think I'm broken.

sufjan and okkervil river have moved me to tears before

but in the 'strangely' sense of the question i have always said that slipknot - volume 3: the subliminal verses is a really emotional record... seriously!

Seriously.

I used to nearly bawl every time I heard Your Hand In Mine by EITS. I'm past that now.

despite it being about as subtle as brick to the face.

I was really restless at about 2 in the morning, so I put on my iPod and listening to The Blue Album straight through. I had only just discovered it a few weeks prior, and as Only In Dreams closed I found tears rolling down my cheeks as I thought 'I will never ever find a better record than this, all music henceforth becomes entirely obsolete'.

My friend put on In the Aeroplane Over the Sea (song) on his ipod. I had one earphone in. Almost cried.

Also, listening to Chicago by Sufjan Stevens really loud in my room a few days ago affected me more than i thought it would.

Yep.

except that's not strangely emotional, or unexpectedly so.

also, holy dawns of spring by thanksgiving worked pretty well at making me want to die.

"last day of magic" by the kills put a lump in my throat the other afternoon.

also, whenever i'm out dancing, i always hear "kids" by mgmt and it nearly brings tears to my eyes. "control yourself/take only what you need from me..."

by Malajube caught me unawares on an ipod shuffle the other day. No idea what the lyrics are about but it's beautiful.

of the title to exclude songs that are generally accepted to be really good...

For some reason How To Save A Life by The Fray makes me feel like I'm about to cry.

by Meet Me In St Louis. Fuxxake. I need to MTFU these past few days.

i put it on 5 times on a row and cried every time hahaha.

although it wasnt really unexpected, that song is saturated in sentiment.

Fantasia On A Theme by Thomas Tallis

Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields

Neville Marriner Conductor

Hadn't heard it since 1988, bought it for my Wife last week, put it on; within 30 seconds I was so choked up I couldn't talk. I had to take it off so I could make dinner without cutting myself.

by the mountain goats actually brought tears to my eyes.
non-music cry moment: In Red Dwarf, when Rimmer's light bee got ejected into the dimensional rift and came out the other end to join a multitude of light bees from different universes that formed a saturn-like ring around a planet. I balled my fucking eyes out. i think I was on an unsafe amount of drugs back then and so was a little emotional.

but Kelly Clarkson's Because Of You mademe blub once. I'd had a bad day, in my defence.

And Elbow's Switching Off gets me every time.

Two Little Boys.

Every time. I have to actively avoid it.

There is something quite emotive about it.

by The Arctic Monkeys. I struggle not to cry every time I hear it

scenic world

gush

by the New Year (I'm thinking this would be a good one at my funeral - CRY MOTHERFUCKERS!) and Bright Lights by Chow Chow. Bright lights is THE more "strangely" emotional out of the two.
