This.

Take That - greatest day

hehe, but that might be just me (:

[~*Rainbow*~]

For me its
To Where You Are - Josh Groban

[ksdfjhlksajf]

No Lies, Just Love by Bright Eyes is the song that's come closest to making me cry. Might be triggering though (for suicide).

Some other songs that might work:
Feb. 15 by Bright Eyes
Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls
Black Balloon by the Goo Goo Dolls
My Skin--Natalie Merchant
Run--Snow Patrol
November--Azure Ray


Really though, just put some of Bright Eyes old stuff on and listen. I love Bright Eyes to death, but the music can be a bit sad / depressing at times. His new stuff isn't really though.

for some reason, Bobby Mcferrin-Don't Worry, Be Happy.

usually this song makes me happy, but sometimes when i listen to it i just cry and cry. it always evokes some sort of strong emotion in me, i don't know why, maybe because it's just such a simple song.

Stand Still, Look Pretty - The Wreckers
Breathe Me - Sia
Machines - Biffy Clyro
Wounds - Good Charlotte
Hold On - Good Charlotte

Also, another good idea might be to listen to soundtrack songs from films that make you cry, if films make you cry that is...

I always well up to the Pan's Labyrinth soundtrack, that film is DEVASTATING!
