always been one of my favourites but it gained extra emotional significance when played at a friends funeral earlier last year.  Now i literally cant listen to more than a few notes without  it getting to me

also this pair of jimi hendrix  recordings, when  he isnt quite trying and its stripped back to its bare bones.  not sad songs really i know

WTF???

I clicked that link when I came to the end of MDV's suggestion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izQsgE0L450
T'was a bit of a drastic transition.

Closest thing to a musical tear jerker for me is Moonlight Sonatta....or rather, me attemping to play it on a £50 classical guitar.

Possibly one of the funniest things I've experienced in a while... I'm kinda hoping that's real.

EDIT: Sorry to drag the thread off track. Have a bit of Judie. If I belt this out I get slightly emotional.

To me that is somewhat of a classic. Just so nicely cut...and actually helped me get into that kind of genre a bit. Though I might have a little too much fun with it now in a sense...who else laughs when listening to such music.

Also - the film The Green Mile. 

Yeah, that does it for me too.

I saw that at the cinema and it totally caught me off guard, was fighting 'em back - such a moving film.

This thread is showing that we're all a bunch of wet blokes hiding behind our Morbid Angel t-shirts  :roll:

I thought The Green Mile was just a contrived and flagrant attempt to make a film even more tear-jerking and Oscar-worthy than The Shawshank Redemption - same setting, same author, same director.  But it isn't half as good a film.  :P

Shawshank is a MUCH better film, no doubt, but that has a really upbeat ending - watched it lots of times and never get tired of it.

Wow.  I mean, just wow...
