This is the theme to the Korean movie Taegukgi. It's basically South Korea's Saving Private Ryan. By itself, it's not that sad, but if you see the movie and listen to the song, it might bring tears. Taegukgi is the only movie that makes me cry just thinking about it. In fact, I might cry again right now and I haven't seen the movie in 5 months. I'm so glad I found it in the foreign aisle at Blockbuster. Truly one of the best movies of all time.

Lots of songs make me feel happy or sad but very few bring tears to my eyes.

You may need to turn the volume up on the 2nd one as it starts softly.

In addition to the Smashing Pumpkins one I posted earlier:

The majority of ( ) by Sigur Ros.

Lots of music can bring me to tears at times but other times the same music makes me really happy. It depends on my mood. For some rezone I find half of Carrie Underwood's songs can make me really depressed at times. I also feel that way about some of the songs by the great Chicago like Hard Habit To Break, Look Away, Will You Still Love Me ect.
Other songs that make me cry include but are not limited to
Phil Collins~ Separate Lives
Styx~ Don't Let It End
Nikkie Webster~ Miracle Of You
Lindsay Lohan~ Something I Never Had
Brad Paisley~ Whiskey Lullaby
REO Speedwagon~ Cant Fight This Feeling Anymore
Jill Souble~ Tell Me Your Dreams

There's much more than this thou & some of the stuff can be excruciatingly painful for me to listen to on occasion

I've never really been reduced to tears by music, but I was very moved by this piece when I first heard it.

Remember When, by Alan Jackson. It just makes me cry for some reason. Even when I think of the song, it makes me cry. A lot of songs by George Strait can make me cry, too, as do a multitude of Vocaloid songs...

George Strait, to me, seems to be a master at making tearjerkers. It's gotten to the point that I can't listen to most of his songs, and I like his voice. (I like certain types of country, especially the tearjerkers.) Ironically, I like the sad songs...I like melancholy.

This Vocaloid song (I forgot the Vocaloid and the song) made me cry because it seemed so much like me. It was about someone being extremely depressed, and that they don't want to speak to people because they think that they will act cruelly. I'm afraid that people will hurt me, so I don't talk to many people. The chorus really got me, however.

Ralph Vaughan Williams happens to be one of my favourite composers. There are very few pieces of his that I've heard that I dislike. My first and favourite Ralph Vaughan Williams piece was Lark Ascending [I can still find something new in it when I listen to it...], and I happened to hear the whole thing on my drive to work.

It was so emotionally gripping that I was late for work because I had to sit in my car to gather my thoughts, and for the rest of the day, the only thing I could think of was him, and how my life was forever changed because of him.

The music I connect to most, that tends to bring to tears, are those without lyrics. And the non-lyrical music that I tend to listen to most is classical. Just about anything from the Romantic period, to the Contemporary period can rattle me. Example: I was watching the film The Hours in my class after having read the book. I was doing fine until Virginia Woolf [played by Nicole Kidman], and her husband Leonard were arguing in train station. I was fine, removed. And then Philip Glass' piece began to play. The dialogue paired with the music had this catharsis effect on me, and I out and out cried in my class during that scene.

Curse you, Philip Glass...

The main reason why I may start crying during a film when other characters are crying is the music that they couple with it. If it weren't for that, there is no connection for me. Music is my medium between myself and other people's emotions. Tell me that you're having a terrible day and I may stare at you and think, "That's not my problem..." but queue in the violin music and, sure, I'll cry with and for you...

Wow. I guess that's what a great piece of music can do. The Lark Ascending is one of my all-time favourites too. I did consider posting that instead.
There is a radio station in the UK devoted to classical music that publishes a list of the listeners' top 300 pieces every year: The Lark Ascending has come top three years in a row.

I don't know too many other Vaughan Williams pieces, but I first came across the Dives and Lazarus piece through a youtube clip from the film Williamstowne, about a young woman whose spirit returns to the town where she lived and died. The film that was apparently written to fit Vaughan Williams pieces.

Here's the clip. I hope it's ok to post the same piece twice. I only didn't post this one first time round because there's some dialogue in it!
