NW Songs that Make Your Eyes Tear Up

[guyinsf]

Just curious to hear from you guys which songs for whatever reason, may it be sad, nostalgic or just utterly profound that can make your eyes tear up. The Church's Under the Milky Way makes me teary, the melody is so...I can't even describe the feeling, it's very beautiful to me and it is quite nostalgic because it takes me back to the period between the mid and late 80's when at 17, I was listening to SF's Live 105 so much and this song was played quite a bit. Sinead O'Connor's Nothing Compares to You kind of does this to me too, but not on nostalgia, just purely on the sad nature of the song and its melody and of course the video.

The Church - Under the Milky Way
Sinead - Nothing Compares to You
Blancmange - Waves

Death In June - "To the Giddy Edge of Light"
Death In June - "He's Disabled"
This Mortal Coil - "Help Me Lift You Up"

Not only are these really mushy sad/sweet songs, they take me back to a specific relationship that ended. And I happened to be listening to these albums a lot at that time.

[Wilf]

The Smiths - There is a light that never goes out... Powerful lyrics "to die by your side is such a heavely way to die"

[KYYX4ever]

"More To Lose" - Seona Dancing. just because it's so beautiful-sounding.

[circemuse]

Just Like Heaven by The Cure is just so sweet, it makes me get a little teary (depending on how hormanal I am)

[birdmadgirl]

"To Wish Impossible Things"--The Cure
The music is beautiful and the lyrics are heartbreaking. I can relate to it in a million different ways. ("In all relationships, there are always aching holes and that's where the impossible wishes come into it."-- Robert Smith)

"Nobody's Diary"--Yaz
Reminds me of the summer that my marriage hit the skids...

WAH!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I'm all depressed. [:(]

"Desire As" by Prefab Sprout. Listening to this in the aftermath of a break-up is just plain torturing yourself (it was for me back in the mid-80's, anyway.)

[Mechi]

The Cure's "A letter to Elise". Beautiful... but fills me with tears.

I agree with guyinsf, you just can't beat the Church's.. Under The Milky Way. It's just such a beautiful song. Another which is very sad to me is Inxs..Never Tear Us Apart. That was played as they were carrying Michael Hutchence casket through the church.

The Church - Under The Milky Way
Inxs - Never Tear Us Apart
David Sylvian - Orpheus
