What are some songs that when you hear you either feel like crying or you think about someone that means a lot to you?

Two I can think of right now;

With Me by Sum 41 and Every Rose Has It's Thorn by Poison

Another not so emotional song, Hate Me by Five Finger Death Punch

Disarm by Smashing Pumpkins, because of what the song is about. That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Am I losin' Lynyrd Skynyrd. It's like this song was about me and my buddy Sam when we were younger. The only difference is that we didn't fall out over money it was over a girl... and I married her three years later. We talk now (12 years later) if we run in to each other but that's about it.

Here is the link if you have never heard it.

Man that intro takes me back "I recall when I used to come home, never had a dime, lord I always had a good time"

Pretty much anything by Alice In Chains. Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell had such amazing vocal harmonies.

The whole Blood on the Tracks album by Bob Dylan is quite emotional to me, but I've never really cried over a song.

@lp: wow, as a skynyrd fan, i have to say ive never heard the song, and i like it. it has a very 60s/early 70s sound, its like a 60s rock with a 70s southern rock, very tasty.

Hey Hey What Can I Do by Led Zeppelin can pull on my heart strings sometimes. Similar experiences with the "speaker" of the song.

Yea that's one of my favorites. Another good one you may or may not have heard "I never dreamed" or "Mister banker" if you like a blues sound.

Roll Gypsy Roll

Mister Banker

I Never Dreamed

I also put Roll Gypsy Roll on here another one of my favorites.

Dude I'v been to too many funerals so anything played at those and for some reason everytime I hear Tuesday's Gone it just makes me feel really right, and then there's that feeling where you just like feel like everything is okay and everything is right and whenver you see or hear it you want to break down adn cry and just freak out, for me everytime I see the cover of the album Boston by Boston it just makes me want to stare forever into it and it gives me chills

Fields of Gold by Sting or Eva Cassidy, the song always just makes me think of the opportunities I've passed up, the people I don't see any more and how much I will miss them when I can't see them at all.
There, you see, the Afro does have a soul after all!

The last 46 seconds of the song have amazing sounding guitar, like it's really emotional and sad sounding but it's so awesome

quite amazing that it's so different for each person. I think it has alot to do with where you were and what was going on in your life when you heard these songs. it's all so very personal, and yet there are some universal tear jerkers and my favorite would be "Danny Boy".
On the other hand if I never hear "Amazing Grace" again in my lifetime it would be just fine by me!

I dont think "Amazing Grace" is sincere and it is overused.

You're right, Phip, Danny Boy gets me every time! Angie by the Rolling Stones is another, along with Videotape by Radiohead-Yorke's voice, the piano, and even the drums, which have a kind of "raindrops-on-a-funeral-day" feel.
