I get choked up every time I listen to The Glow Pt. 2 by The Microphones.

I can count full albums as "songs that make me emotional", right?

That and a few Godspeed You! Black Emperor songs (including Sleep, Antennas to Heaven, and We Drift Like Worried Fire).

The ending THE Starless? Holy shit, how did I overlook that?

No song has ever made me cry, but there are certainly songs that definitely bring about emotional reactions in me.

Asleep by The Smiths (or covered by Emilie Autumn) is a good example.
Lately, I've been obsessed with Vocaloid, and the Story of Evil series has brought about a great sense of mourning and sadness that a song has never made me feel before (to date, that effect has mostly only been caused by books)

Some songs that generally make me verklempt:

Bob Dylan - "Girl From the North Country"

The Beatles - "Golden Slumbers"- Among many other Beatles songs, obviously.

Van Morrison - "Slim Slow Slider"

Colin Hay - "Waiting for My Real Life to Begin"- Really this could just be a big list of songs that have been used on Scrubs. "The Book of Love" is also a great one, either the Magnetic Fields original or the Peter Gabriel cover.

Kathleen Edwards - "Away"

Django Reinhardt - "Beyond the Sea (La Mer)"

Bert Jansch - "Needle of Death"

The Tallest Man On Earth - "Love Is All"

American Football - "The Summer Ends"

Sun Kil Moon - "Glenn Tipton"- Yeah, this could also pretty much just be a big list of Mark Kozalek songs.

Tom Waits - "Anywhere I Lay My Head"

The Head and the Heart - "Rivers and Roads"

Daniel Johnston - "Grievances"

And since all that's super depressing, here's a couple songs that make me really happy:

The Beatles - "I Want to Hold Your Hand"- Duh.

Sigur Ros - "Hoppipolla"- Also duh.

Big Star - "September Gurls"

Uncle Tupelo - "Acuff-Rose"- Could only find live versions online.

The Unholy Modal Rounders - "Griselda"

Eddie and the Hot Rods - "Do Anything You Wanna Do"

The Replacements - "Can't Hardly Wait"

The song Winners and Losers by Social Distortion always gets me a bit emotional.

Damn. Fine choice, Doctor.

Here are two fine songs that always seem to speak to me.

Skip James - Hard Time Killin' Floor Blues

Rev. Gary Davis - Death Don't Have No Mercy

God I love the blues.

I fucking love that song. That's the only Crash Test Dummies song that I really really like. The Unforgiven Ones was alright, though.
