Spaudrey, I can relate to your choice of "Leader of the Band". My dad was a violinist who passed down his love of music to my brothers and me. Before we each took separate musical paths, we played in concerts together as a family. Although my dad passed away 20 years ago at the age of 62, I feel mixed emotions of joy and sadness whenever I hear this song. It's nice to know you appreciate your dad, Spaudrey! Reply #282.

I know numerous bands who write some pretty depressing stuff, but not a lot which have actually brought me to tears... A couple which have are "For Emma" by Bon Iver and one of his live performances of "Skinny Love", "Mad World" by Gary Jules when I first heard it, a Jeff Buckley song or two, maybe a few Beatles songs, one or two Radiohead songs, "Casmir Pulsaki Day" by Sufjan Stevens, "Tears in Heaven" by Eric Clapton... Yeah. None of those I really wept openly, just got a bit of wet eyes. Reply #286. Sep 19 12, 6:43 AM |

As well as "The World at Large" by Modest Mouse, "Sorrow" by The National and a few Bright Eyes songs. Reply #287. Sep 19 12, 6:51 AM |

Ah, thought of some more (sorry for posting so much in a row!). "Ninth Avenue Reverie", "Very Many", "Lonely", "Fool's Gold" (because of the sheer beauty!) and "Deep Water" by The Middle East, "A Most Peculiar Man" and "Wednesday Morning, 3 AM" by Simon & Garfunkel. Reply #288. Sep 19 12, 7:52 AM |

I need to ask. What is the definition of a song in this thread? Can it be strictly a musical piece? Reply #289. Sep 19 12, 9:13 AM |

2 songs that I can't listen to around people behind because I always break up a bit before the songs over are The Lady In Red by Chris DeBurgh & Don't Take The Girl by Tim McGraw. 'Johnny's daddy was taking him fishing when he was 8 yrs. old', that's all it takes & I start tearing up. Reply #290. Sep 19 12, 9:15 AM |

In response to boxjaw, I suppose a song could be an instrumental or a symphony piece. A lot a songs like The Star Spangled banner were originally written as poems & put to music later. On a personal note no piece of music without lyrics has ever affected me emotionally unless it's some pathetic Muzak version of a song I know & then my only response is to get as far away as possible. Insrumentals are just sounds to me, lyrics paint a picture. Reply #291. Sep 19 12, 9:28 AM |

Lyrics are far from the most important part of a song for me but they are necessary, especially to stir up that much emotion. For me, the lyrics don't have to be anything special unless I can tell the writer meant for them to be. If he/she did have something to say and it actually is well written, that's enough to cause me to like the song.If they meant it to be special and it's horrible and full of cliches, I'll hate it for that reason. When someone like Bob Dylan or Roger Waters or Tom Waits writes lyrics, I'm probably going to like them. If it's Jagger it doesnt really matter because the music is so good and it's usually not the kind of music that requires sophisticated lyrics. Reply #292. Sep 19 12, 12:54 PM |

Lots of songs make me almost cry! One of them is "I Still Cry" by Ilse de Lange. I actually do cry when I hear it. :'( Reply #293. Sep 19 12, 1:06 PM |

I went and saw Shinedown last night and the song "I'll follow you" had me in tears. Reply #295. Sep 19 12, 2:33 PM |

I didn't mean to say I don't appeciate a great instrumental, there are plenty of them but that a different thread possibly? Just echoing what guggly said about stirring up emotions. I also think you have to have some personal connection to the lyrics to feel that way. A lost love or parent or some other situation. Of course you can cry because you're happy too, a wedding song perhaps? I'll throw out Ben's song, Angel or I Will Remember You by Sarah McLachlan, actually too many songs to mention but I'm probably biased, considering she's my all time favorite female singer.

A great lyric still needs great music. Where would Callie's song be without the mournful cello? This - "She's Leaving Home" - upset me when I was 17 and not getting on at all well with my parents. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5iz-j4taBk (It doesn't now.) Reply #297. Sep 19 12, 5:22 PM |

Here's as close to a 'sad' instrumental in rock music that I can think of. Actually I'll go ahead and include the song that followed it on the disc because I suppose it could be considered a tear-jerker. Whale & Wasp-- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XFJe0QYTKE Don't Follow-- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBB2OS4IoTs Reply #298. Sep 19 12, 5:52 PM |

"Cat's in the Cradle" is very moving-- such a sad reminder that as parents, we reap what we sow. Reply #300. Sep 19 12, 7:36 PM |
