And here's where your mother sleeps
And here is the room where your brothers were born
Indentions in the sheets
Where their bodies once moved but dont move any more..
That line gives me goosebumps
There's a song that used to. It was playing on the radio when someone i cared about died. So it always made me think of that event.
It doesn't upset me as much anymore as it did for the first years that was 15 years ago. I still avoid the song.
Is there a song that on it's own merit that can do that without some personal connotation? No, not that I can think of.
The song in question was off of mellon collie and the infinite sadness. Really that whole album would upset me.

Yes. It was a Christmas song about a poor kid buying shoes for his father. I'm not sure if it would make me cry today though because I was much younger when I heard it but the emotions are would still be very similar.
Yep I'll post it for you.
I was listening to it the night before my mother went into brain surgery in a town about a days drive away. I was drunk and my entire family was elsewhere (my dad was with my mother, my brother lived on the other side of the country with his wife and sons, and my sister was at a friends house as she was about 10) and I was lonely, when the song came on (it's about how he lost his dad) I started thinking about what my life would be like if my mother died. I started weeping openly and gasping in deep sobbing breaths, after a few moments I could hear the sound of my own sobbing and realised how pathetic it sounded, so I stopped and sat there silently crying while getting progressively more drunk.
Still got myself up and to school the following day.

Pete Yorn - "Lose You"
Mazzy Star - "Into Dust"
Jose Gonzalez - "Heartbeats"
Ashtar Command - "Deadman's Gun"
All of these worked their magic in conjunction with other media; the first three were played during TV show episodes, the last one is the credits music for Red Dead Redemption. (Took me over a year to finish that game, but this morning I did it!
)

I really had to chug back the tears once, but that was because I was in a certain mood and was thinking about some particular stuff on that moment. And then that song came along and made me realise some stuff and I really had to try not to cry in front of my family.
Have yet to be reduced to tears by music alone but there's the odd song that's come close (some capitalizing on my emotional state at the time) or it was just particularly moving:
Tool - 10000 Days (Pt1 and 2)
Nick Drake - Place to Be
Pavarotti - Nessun Dorma
Opeth - Pretty much the entire Still Life album. Also for a song I guess Windowpane.
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven
The Chi-Lites - Have You Seen Her (during a break up)
Frank Sinatra - Moon River
Deftones - Riviere
Emperor - In the Wordless Chamber
And I'm sure there's more that I can't be arsed to think of. Look a few up if your curious.

Just this one. I just wasn't expecting so fitting a song for the end credits. Surprise attack on my emotions damn it!
So many times, usually those songs have to be afiliated with a memory or two. Anything my late father used to listen to makes me bawl, every time.
