song that make you get 'something in your eye'

breakstuff

Just been listening to Vauxhall and I by Morrissey for the first time in ages and the first track,Now my heart is full really choked me up.I know he's not everyones cup of tea and that he probably makes you cry but for other less positive reasons but this song really touches me.

Sorry,I don't know how to embed videos but that's probably appreciated by the majority ;-)

So my question is what other songs out there evoke in you a deep emotional response?

This one gets me a bit...

And someone recently linked me to this video, and I found it rather "affecting" - just a noble old song, and the way she sings it. Sadder in a strange way because it's in a major key I think...

Loads, but off the top of my head: 

Tori Amos 'Me and a Gun' 

Kate Bush 'This Woman's Work' 

John Mayer 'Walt Grace Submarine Test'

Fuel Up by Stornoway. Amazing song.

Bonnie Raitt singing "Dimming of the Day" 

Eva Cassidy singing "Over the Rainbow" and "Fields of Gold"

A certain section of Tubular Bells (reminds me of my first dog)

Anothony and the Johnons  singing "Knockin on Heavens Door " - reminds me of losing Norms  - I was flying back from Seattle, the song kept playing on the in flight entertainment - he was in ICU at the vets all the time I was over there. he died a week later

Here Comes The Flood by Peter Gabriel always gets me emotional, for personal reasons.

Skipped

Absolutely loads.

Bob Dylan's To Make You Feel My Love (but not by Bob Dylan, obviously....by Adele)

The chorus to All The Young Dudes. From the 5th change so not the lyrics.  :-O

This one. For the sake of spreading the knowledge as wide as possible, I want this played at my funeral.

Probably this, coincidently I was listening to it (and the whole album) a lot when my dad passed away a few years ago, then read a little after that this song was written about his (Wayne Coin's) own dad passing away. Great song.

$1000 Wedding - Gram Parsons, Raining in my Heart - Buddy Holly, He Ain't Heavy - The Hollies.

I'm welling up just thinkin about them!

Coal - Stay. It's on the Chasing Amy soundtrack, and it's the most heartbreaking thing I've ever heard. It's a woman begging for one last night of pretending things are the way they were, no matter what it costs her. It's for a late night, lying on the floor with a bottle of whisky.

The White Stripes - I'm lonely but I ain't that lonely yet. I was in a bit of a sad place when I first heard it and it made me sniffle
Velvet Underground - Pale Blue Eyes. This one still gets me for reasons I can't work out
EDIT: just seeing U2 mentioned above reminded me, Love is Blindness kills me when I hear that

This one, because of the way it was used in context in Supernatural:

...and this one, because it's brilliant:

...and finally this one, because of what it's about:
