"Still" by The Commodores. When he gets to the last line: "I do love you..." and then his voice breaks just a little when he says quietly "...still" and then there's a smaller version of the big flourish we heard earlier in the song. Gah, I'm getting chills now just thinking about it.

Also "The Wings That Fly Us Home" by John Denver, and "Danny Boy."

Why does "If You're Not The One" by Daniel Bedingfield make me cry?

ohhh...some might find it cheesy (cos of the video), but Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush - Don't Give Up.

Speaking of "Will You Love Me Tomorrow," Foxes in Fiction's "Shadow's Song" got me pretty weepy again the other night. It has Owen Pallett playing a sorta homage to the strings in early 60s r&b/rnr, though "Stand by Me" might be a better reference point.

The-Dream's "Mama" also. given my recent parent drama that one might be too much tho.

Mary J. Blige - Not Gon' Cry
Keyshia Cole - I Remember

A while ago I was driving a car, alone, with no working sound system, singing Simon & Garfunkel songs to pass the time. I started crying while singing "Bridge Over Troubled Water."

When it was just me and the lyrics - and no audience - I was overwhelmed by the song's message of unconditional support. The recording does not have this effect on me.
