This is a thread dedicated to songs that moved you, whether the lyrics felt like a "good" kick in the face wake up call or if they just make you cry whenever you hear them. Post the songs that give you a knot in your throat whenever you hear them.

As for me I've gotta say BraveSaintSaturn's song "Estrella." About an ill friend of the band members that died. This song always gets to me whenever I hear it.

I will DEFINITELY second Estrella. That song literally made me cry the first time I heard it.

Also, these did not make me cry but I was certainly moved by them...

Five Iron Frenzy - Every New Day (this came very very CLOSE to making me weep tears of joy the first time I heard Reese sing the "Hallelujah!" part), the final live version from The End Is Here, also Something Like Laughter from The End Is Near touches me every time I hear it.

Brave Saint Saturn - Under Bridges

Blindside - Nothing But Skin

mewithoutYou - The Cure For Pain, Four Word Letter Part 2, Carousels

Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah

Showbread - Matthias Replaces Judas (beautiful song), Stabbing Art To Death

Death Cab For Cutie - A Lack of Color

Bleach - Patience, Sufficient

Relient K - Getting Into You, For the Moments I Feel Faint

There's more, but I don't have time to list them all.

This song makes me cry.
Michael Buble’
Song for You

“And when my life is over remember when we were together.
We were alone and I was singing my song for you.â€

"Hard to Get," by Rich Mullins. Simply an amazing song.

"Monachetti" by Further Seems Forever, for reasons that are less than obvious.

"Winnipesaukee," by Steve Hindalong. "I thought my lake was deep but yours is deeper than the Winnipesaukee / I thought my soul was bleak but yours is the salty sea"

Though it is not exactly a song, "Adagio for Strings" by Samuel Barber is a very moving piece.

I totally agree. It gives me chills.

"Sunglasses at night" by Corey Hart.

"Advice" by The Pillows.

I always found this song sad. Its called "Jacob Green" and its written and performed by Johnny Cash. Although I believe its a fictional story it has a sad truth in essence and I can't help but get a bit melancholy when I hear it. Not for the faint of heart though.

1) Jacob Green got busted for possession
next morning early he appeared in court.
But he was sent to jail to wait
to be trialed at some later date.
Next morning early, there came a sad report.
At the jail they took away his clothes to shame him
and to make sure Jacob Green had no pride left
They cut of all his hair.
Today they found him hanging there
afraid to face the day he killed himself.

CHORUS:
It happened yesterday, and if you turn your head away
Somewhere in some dirty hole the scene will be rerun.
Not only Jacob Green, but many more you've never seen
It could be someone that you love gets done
like Jacob Green got done.
It could be someone that you love gets done
like Jacob Green got done.

2)Jacobs father hired a team of lawyers,
inspections and long inquiries were held.
The sheriff then retired
and the papers said two guards were fired.
They put a brand new coat of paint on Jacob's cell.
But like a tomb that looks so white and shiny
inside you'll find corruption never seen.
And somewhere out there tonight
In a dirty cell without a light
There will be locked up another Jacob Green

CHORUS:
It happened yesterday, and if you turn your head away
Somewhere in some dirty hole the scene will be rerun.
Not only Jacob Green, but many more you've never seen.
It could be someone that you love gets done
like Jacob Green got done.
It could be someone that you love gets done
like Jacob Green got done.

Hmm another song that gets me is...

"Hold On" by Subseven...It's really awesome. Dude I was gonna post Dandilions...But you beat me to it...Man FIF has a ton of awesome songs...

I just got Kids In The Way's first CD, Safe from the losing fight...And bow-howdy it's good.

KITW - The End. Man that song's epic! It's like a nine minute long song...I think it's a plee to the guy's friend to turn towards Christ...

I have seen it live and.... holy crap. It IS awesome. It was the song they were singing when I got to the concert... I was only *coughthirtyminuteshack* late. But, yeah, that was the one song I definitely wanted to hear live more than any other so I was happy lol.

Seether feat. Amy Lee-Broken

That's crazy! That's what happened to me. We were about twenty minutes late and only caught about 3 songs and that was one of them.

"Lost The Plot" by Newsboys

I have to admit that I cry every time I hear that song.

Though I doubt anyone has ever heard of her, I like Danielle Rose's "Crown of Thorns." Six minutes of beautiful and heartbreaking accapella from the humbling point of view of the personified Crown of Thorns.

Amazing Grace
The places you have come to fear the most- Dashboard Confessional
Broken- Seether featuring Amy Lee
He Reigns- Newsboys
Beauty From Pain- Superchic[k]
The Thirst is Taking Over- Skillet
More Faithful- Skillet

There are a few more, but since it's almost midnight, I'll have to post them some other time.

Another band that does a lot of touching emotional stuff is Cold. Off Year Of The Spider I would say Rain song is really touching. There new stuff is in that same vein as well.

CDLviking wrote:I have to admit that I cry every time I hear that song.

It's definitely powerful. "Lord, search my heart and create in me something clean/Dandelions, You see flowers in these weeds". I love that song so much.

Staple - Impressionable
Staple - Deathtrap Daisy (These songs have AMAZING lyrics.)
Dead Poetic - A Green Desire
Dead Poetic - Tell Myself Goodbye
Kevin Max - Existance

That's crazy! That's what happened to me. We were about twenty minutes late and only caught about 3 songs and that was one of them.

Dude! I wanna see a whole concert by them sometime!

And did anyone put any Emery yet? How about "Fractions" and "The "Ponytail Parade"?

CobaltAngel wrote:Dude! I wanna see a whole concert by them sometime!

Emery! I forgot them!

"To Whom It May Concern" is an awsome song too, though I think its a rare track.

LOL, almost all of Emery's songs are touching. They're what I listen too when I'm all emotional and stuff lol.

Ooh... I also forgot about Serial Sleepers by House of Heroes. I just put the lyrivs from it in my sig. I freakin love that song.
