@TheSoapyFrog oh yes, light up light, as if you have a choice.

That's the line that gets me. 'As if you have a choice'. Because you don't have a choice

So moving

I remember pretending to cry at Babe by Take That as it was the done thing amongst my friends at the time.

Genuine tears only for Rolling Stones - Wild Horses, played at my dad's funeral.

Plenty of music gives me 'the feels', but it's quite hard to make me cry.

The folks that live on the hill- I read a book where the main character was listening to this song and crying as they were yearning for a simpler life. It resonated with me and now I can't hear it without crying. Stupid thing is that the character was a high class escort- couldn't be further away from my life. But that sense of longing gets me every time

Halo- Beyonce
Wind beneath my wings- Bette Midler

Both of those remind me of my amazing dad, the most upstanding man ever! Gone too soon xxx

@ouch321 I don't think you can listen to Woman's Work without crying? Surely nobody can?

Under the Ivy by Kate Bush. An astonishingly emotional song, brings me to the verge of tears every time.
The Only Living Boy in New York by Simon and Garfunkel. Emotional in its own right, but reminds me of listening to the album with my late brother.
