Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad by Moby. The song just moves me to tears every time I hear it.

The Ballad of Ira Hayes-any version

I am torn apart thinking about the man and his tragedy.

And theres one other song that makes me think back. This one doesn't make me cry, or even get me a little misty, but it depresses me, and so gets an honourable mention. Its the one from The Punisher that Harry Heck sings after he comes into the diner.

I can hear what you're thinkin'
All your doubts and fears
And if you look into my eyes you'll soon find
The reason I'm here
And in time all things shall pass away, and in time you may come back some day...
To live once more
Or to die once more
But in time your time will be no... more.

EDIT: That's "In Time," by Mark Collie.

well this is a process of timming and events forever changing my view of a song. At work on September 11th 2001, I was working at a coffee bar, morning shift and playing Pink Floyds "The Wall", just after I was informed of the events, and while we were all tuned to the NPS scanner frequency "goodbye blue skies" came on. It's now got entirely new meaning to me.

A good number of Evanesence songs, with the most notable one being My Las Breath.
My Graduation by Vitamin C. Yes, that overplayed one.
The opening theme of Angel. I don't know the name of the song or the artist, but I do like the violin in it.
From Autumn to Ashes - Chloroform Perfume
Gangster rap. Not tears of joy, mind you; more like despair.

I don't think I've actually cried because of these songs before, but they're the songs that have the largest emotional impact on me.
