Cry me a river


I know this is a vry touchy subject but was just wondering how many of the Audiogoners have been overwhelmed by a particular piece of music and have shed a tear or two?

If you could give the information about the music that would also be great which actually would go down as music which could touch your soul in a way no other has. We may just compline a list of "Most touchy music that you have heard"

For me it has been the following:

Recent:
Moonlight Sonata - Beethoven

Once upon a time:
If you leave me now - Chicago
I'm not in love - 10cc

Pay attention, how many times have I got to say this! Eva Cassidy singing anything, but especially "Over the Rainbow", and for the Irish amoungst us, "Danny Boy".
A live violin solo played in a church yesterday during a funeral service for a wonderful lady. The sound was heartfelt, haunting, and beyond moving. Rest in Peace Pat.
Have to agree, Eva Cassidy could wring tears from a Stone,
but surely anyone who loves music, loves women and loves life would admit that over the years, dependent on ones circumstances lots of different music can move you to tears.
For it's sheer beauty, the rightness of the moment, the wrongness of the moment, a fond memory, a sad memory.
You can sit and listen to joyous music and want to laugh with glee becuase it brings back memories of a concert you went to years ago and cry because you remember the loss of the person you went to that concert with.

I usually just cry because my wife hates the friggin whole set up and wouldn't cry at music unless I dumped the Pass Labs on her head!!!!
More & more I cry because the last great upgrade was more money down the pan and my 20 year old Meridian M2's still sound brilliant but her who must be obeyed hated them. They lie in the corner of the bedroom as a reminder of how much her intolerance of Black Magic has cost our family financially over the years - about 40K (£'s)at my last reckoning !

For real, Shipbuilding, Alison and many more of Elvis Costello's fabulous songs and surely the last album by the late , very great Warren Zevon.
Eva Cassidy--if a person can't be touched by her voice, he just might be emotionally dead.
The Oprah theme music makes me cry...come to think of it, so does her ex-husband Dr. Phil's theme song.

Anybody else experience this?
