This one never fails to get at me:
Deluded, I have believed in my unrelenting strength
And inevitably I have become weak
Now I feel events changing, and I already know
The emotions which unlock distant memories
From my soul I retrieve the hope which in my tired body now
Has stopped beating, like a fire quenched by my tears
In my hands I take with me a trickle of water
And in the desert a blade of grass will survive
I do, I do emerge from the depths to fight and then
Go higher than ever before
I do, I do look to the future and smile
Not fearing anything anymore
In an instant, new aspirations are also ahead of me
A scenario of wins and losses unfolds
In the silence, the reflections of ages leave a path
Breathing, I notice the circular motion, and then...
Time has stopped to outline new borders, and I
Press further on, gathering my strength against the wind
In my hands, the reflections of ages leave a path
Walking, I retrieve the indelible trail
I do, I do rail against the cold, extinguished eyes
To always be the best I can
I do, I do go beyond impregnable worlds
Not fearing anything anymore
I do, I do emerge from the depths to fight and then
Go higher than ever before
I do, I do look to the future and smile
With a new identity
Until only it rises...

when i hear the song "wake me when september ends", i'm ok; but when i watch the video i have a problem watching it. in the middle where the girl freaks out on him, i can feel it; the stress in her voice and knowing that i had the same problem.
The right song at the right moment can put me in a sad mood.
But I'm a fairly introverted person so it takes quite a lot for me to tear up. I prefer dealing with my heavier emotions privately and showing no outwards signs save to a few trusted people. Lighter emotions I share easily, but crying isn't really one of those.

Two songs in my senior year got me to break down into tears, both involving the death of a grandparent.
The first was Return to Innocence by Enigma, listening to it the day my grandfather died. It was an unexpected death, with my grandmother form the other side of the family facing cancer, so it was like a sucker punch. I was fine for most of the day, tearful but not overly so, until I listened to that song and thought, "yeah, it's true, he has returned to innocence" and I lost it.
Then it was at my grandmother's funeral not two months later when someone sang Ave Maria acapela. Now whenever I hear that song a tear comes to my eyes.
Songs can often make me emotional on their own but not usually to the point of actually crying. Watermark by Enya is one that can make me feel sad.

This song is about Katie Flynn, I should mention. If you don't know who that is, you should look it up.
Dear Agony, Anthem of the Angels, and Give Me A Sign by Breaking Benjamin. Those are just songs that put you in a sad mood just due to how emotional they are. VouchSafing838 on youtube has done some wonderful music videos for them.

Yes, but...this requires me to explain.
I was coming home from an otherwise nice day and logged onto the internet, got on AIM. A friend of mine contacts me in utter depression, telling me that she's losing it and wants to kill herself. My nice day goes south faster than an SR-71 as a cold shock reaches the base of my spine. I don't normally know fear, but that day did it to me.
While I was trying to convince her not to, and she's at least a couple states away from me, I get a growing dread and feeling of helplessness. And then god damn it if the end-theme to Portal 2 doesn't start playing in my head! I'm watching someone I've known for years crumble before me via text on a computer and "Want You Gone" won't leave me alone!
To anyone worrying at this point, don't worry. I got her under control. It was scary, though. I don't blame the song, of course, but I will say that that was ill-timed. Because I never...never want her gone. Not as long as I live.

As a composer. I hear lots of music. Usually by itself, I wouldn't cry to music. But alongside a picture or video, yes.
Actually, that's not true.
I've known people who resort to unfortunate ends. I've /seen/ it with my eyes. It wasn't pretty then. This song in particular, once I heard the lyrics over the radio, actually forced me to pull over and wait until I was better.
